They are, according to Forbes,\u00a0 people who have predominant black ancestry with a net worth of at least $1 billion.

Today, he is worth a jaw-dropping <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/profile\/aliko-dangote\/?sh=2f02e07122fc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">$13 billion<\/a>, making him\u00a0 Forbes #1 Africa Billionaire 2021 and the Richest Black Billionaire in The World. Aliko Dangote is the founder of the Dangote Group, a company that operates in various business activities in Nigeria and other parts of the world. Even though he comes from an entrepreneurial and wealthy family, Aliko did not fold his hands to wait to join the family business after graduation; instead, he picked interest and started a new different line for himself.<\/p>\n<p>Records have it that immediately after he acquired his degree, he borrowed N500,000 from one of his uncles and started importing sugar from Brazil and rice from Thailand. He was making a decent profit from the business and was able to repay his uncle his money. But then, as a man with a high business vision, Aliko Dangote founded his own manufacturing company in 1977 to start producing the things he imports from Thailand and Brazil. It began as a small trading company that deals in manufacturing cement, sugar, flour, freight management, rice, pasta, and real estate. Today, the Dangote Group has grown into a multi-billion dollar company and enlarged into several other sectors such as oil and gas, transport, and telecommunications with operations in various countries. It also exports food products like ginger, cocoa, cashew nut, cotton, and sesame seeds.<\/p>\n<p>The business magnate has other business ventures, which largely contribute to his huge net worth. He has stakes in the United Bank for Africa (UBA) and Nascon Allied Industries, which deals in food manufacturing, fertilizer, and other businesses. Also, worthy to note is that Aliko, apart from Nigeria, has holdings in 18 different African countries, including Ghana, Togo, Benin, Zambia, Sudan, etc. Aliko Dangote is also well notable for numerous other personal investments he has made. Some of them include N200 million donation to the presidential library, $100 million to the fight against child malnutrition in Nigeria (2017), N50 million donation to the National Mosque, and many others.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>2.

It has various products like Glo mobile, Glo-1 coverage, Glo Gateway, and Glo Broad Access.

He took off his business venture by selling lace materials and distributing soft drinks, and at the age of 24, in 1979, he hit his first million. However, he got his big breaks in 1990 when he was granted a drilling license after many years of applying for it.

David Steward&#8217;s story is motivating as he started from nothing to now being a billionaire and the owner of the largest black-owned company in America.<\/p>\n<p>After obtaining a degree in business from Central Missouri State University in 1973, Steward worked as a production manager at Wagner Electric, sales representative at Missouri Pacific Railroad Company, and senior account officer at FedEx Corporation.

He is also the founder of another global technology company, Telcobuy.<\/p>\n<p>The system integrator, World Wide Technology, stands to be the major source of David&#8217;s fortune. It provides technology solutions such as video and collaborations, cloud capabilities, security, networking technologies, data center and virtualization, voice, and mobility, from more than 3000 manufacturers to entities in telecoms, commercial, and government sectors. The company employs over 7,000 people, generating around $12 billion in its annual revenue. Furthermore, David Steward has another mouthwatering source of revenue, which is his private investment firm, Kingdom Capital. He is a co-owner of the St. Louis Blues NHL hockey team and controls about 85% of St. Louis, Missouri-based business, which reported revenue of $9.4 billion as of 2016.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>5.

In addition to being a musician, Jay-Z is a record producer, businessman, and media mogul. He grew up in a humble neighborhood, where his father abandoned the family, and he, alongside his three siblings, was raised by their mother.<\/p>\n<p>Jay-Z had a rough time growing up, but with a passion for music, he started making his own music, and luckily, it paid off. He took off his music career at the age of 19 in 1988, and today, with a career spanning over 30 years, Jay-Z has made billions from it. His album <em>Hard Knock Life\u00a0<\/em>earned him massive recognition and a spot in the world of music.

So far, the music maker has released over 150 singles and 13 solo studio albums.<\/p>\n<p>Over the years, Jay-Z has diversified his success into the world of business and has made money from other ventures. They include entertainment labels, a clothing line, a high-end champagne brand (Ace of Space), and the music-streaming service Tidal, a video streaming service launched in 2004. His clothing line, Rocawear, was an immediate success and, as of 2000, was generating an annual revenue of $50 million. He also has investments and stocks in some companies.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>12.
