RICH Blks who made Forbes list over and over for many years and who give away significant amount of their money to charity cause and who are good role models for young blks: Mohammed Al Amoudi (Ethiopian & Saudi Arabian) - is the richest black man in the world with a networth of $10B - though sometimes considered an Arab, as far as race is concerned, he is a black man (Yemeni father and Ethiopian mother). Oprah Winfrey, American television icon is the richest black woman (2nd richest black person) with a networth of $2.4B. Patrice Motsepe, 48, (South African) with a networth of $2.3B, is the third richest black person Aliko Dangote, 52 (Nigerian) and Mo Ibrahim (Sudanese-born, now UK Citizen) both with a networth of $2.1B tied as the fourth richest black men. Rounding up the list is Michael Lee Chin (Jamaican native turned Canadian) ranking as the fifth richest black man with a networth of $1.0B.
IMO Oprah is the only one listed who made her money 'legit'. The rest of those cats are borderline organized crime dons/:smt068 Seriously, it would help to describe how those others got so rich!:shock:
Michael Lee Chin is a real estate investor he was featured in Black Enterprise Magazine. Mohammed Al Amoudi is involved in several business including oil and construction. On a side note the late Dominick Dunne, author and correspondent once said that 'anyone that made a billion dollars made just as many enemies along the way' I am paraphrasing.
hey, it is what it is. biggie said it best more money more problems. People succeed sometimes because they took out the competition thru fair play and with upmost integrity and finesse while others did some nafarious shit but it is within the law...then you have the others. In any of these cases people are going to hate. as long as you fit in the first category then you can sleep well at nite.
The Godfather approves.:smt066 COnstruction is a 100% ethical business, no bribes or kickbacks at all. But I'm just clowning really, more power to 'em. Every great fortune is preceded by a great crime...forgot who made this observation. I think they were describing the wealth of the United States.
