The Black Billionaires 2016

I chronicle Africa's success stories and track its richest people
Translation, I follow and write about black excellence for a living. LOL.

Out of the 1,810 billionaires in the world, 12 of them are black.

Nigerian cement tycoon Aliko Dangote is still the richest black person in the world by far with a fortune estimated at $14.4 billion, down from $15.7 billion last year. Coincidentally, the second richest black person in the world this year is also a Nigerian- Mike Adenuga, a businessman who has built a $10 billion fortune on mobile telecom, oil and real estate investments. He displaces Saudi-Ethiopian

Like last year, Angolan investor Isabel dos Santos, American media mogul Oprah Winfrey and Nigerian oil woman Folorunsho Alakija are still the only black female billionaires on the FORBES billionaires list.

Meet the 11 richest black people on earth:

320x486.jpg?fit=scale&background=000000
11) Mohammed Ibrahim,$1.07 Billion, Founder, Mo Ibrahim Foundation
Soruce of Wealth: Communications, Self Made

Born in Sudan and now a U.K. citizen, Mohammed (Mo) Ibrahim founded Celtel International, one of the first mobile phone companies serving Africa and the Middle East, and sold it to Kuwait's Mobile Telecommunications Company for $3.4 billion in 2005 and pocketed $1.4 billion. Since then, he's focused on fighting corrupt leadership in Africa through the Mo Ibrahim Foundation, directed by his daughter, Hadeel. In March 2015, the foundation awarded its $5 million Ibrahim Prize to Namibia's outgoing president, Hifikepunye Pohamba. The award, which recognizes good leadership in Africa, has been given out only four times in the 8 years since it was announced. The foundation also publishes the well-known Ibrahim Index of African Governance, which ranks countries by rule of law, economic opportunity and human rights. Ibrahim owns the majority of assets in Satya Capital, which invests in African businesses.

320x486.jpg?fit=scale&background=000000
10) Abdulsamad Rabiu, $1.1 Billion
Source Of Wealth: Cement, sugar

Abdulsamad Rabiu is the founder of BUA Group, a Nigerian conglomerate active in sugar refining, cement production, real estate, logistics and port operations. Rabiu is expanding cement production. In September 2015, BUA signed a $600 million deal with Sinoma International Engineering, a Chinese cement equipment and engineering service provider, to construct a second production line at its flagship Obu cement plant, located in Edo State in the western part of Nigeria. Rabiu's aim is to double capacity and expand BUA's current 10% market share in Nigerian cement. In January 2016, BUA Group agreed to sell its flour milling and pasta making businesses to Olam Group of Singapore for $275 million. Rabiu, the son of a businessman, inherited land from his father. He set up his own business in 1988, importing rice, sugar and edible oils as well as iron and steel rods.

9) Michael Jordan, $1.14 Billion, Athlete
Source Of Wealth: Sports team, Self Made

A well-timed investment in the Charlotte Hornets basketball team lifted star athlete Michael Jordan into the billionaire ranks in 2015, and is keeping him there this year. He acquired a majority stake in the Hornets in 2010 for $175 million. He increased his ownership to 90% in 2013. In 2014 NBA franchise values shot up, thanks largely to racist comments by Donald Sterling that got him banned from the league and led to a bidding war for his Los Angeles Clippers, which was sold to Steve Ballmer for a record $2 billion. The deal helped boost the value of Jordan's Hornets stake to $500 million. MJ is widely acknowledged as the greatest basketball player of all-time, but his salary rarely matched his stature. He was the NBA's highest-paid player only twice during his 15-year career. His total career playing salary was $90 million, but Jordan has earned another $1.2 billion (pre-tax) from corporate partners since he left North Carolina in 1984. His biggest backer has always been Nike, which generates $2 billion in revenue annually from the Jordan Brand. Nike commands 90% of the U.S. basketball shoe market, with the Jordan Brand representing more than half of that. MJ maintains his longtime endorsement relationships with Gatorade, Hanes and Upper Deck. He also owns seven restaurants and a car dealership.

320x486.jpg?fit=scale&background=000000
8) Patrice Motsepe, $1.27 Billion
Source Of Wealth: Mining, Self Made

African Rainbow Minerals founder and chairman Patrice Motsepe, a South African, became Africa's first black billionaire in 2009. His net worth dropped in the year through March 2016 due to a sharp decline in the stock price of ARM--which mines and processes iron, manganese, chrome, platinum, copper, nickel, coal and gold-- along with tumbling commodities prices and a rise in the cost of labor and electricity. Motsepe also has a stake in Sanlam, a listed financial services firm, and is the president and owner of the Mamelodi Sundowns Football Club. He became the first black partner at the Bowman Gilfillan law firm in Johannesburg, and then started a contracting business doing mine scut work. In 1994, he bought low-producing gold mine shafts and turned them profitable. South Africa's Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) laws, which mandate that companies be at least 26% black-owned in order to get a government mining license, benefited Motsepe. His company Ubuntu Botho Investments is partnering with Sanlam to start an Africa-focused private equity firm. The mining magnate is also the first African to sign Bill Gates' and Warren Buffett's Giving Pledge, in which he promised to give at least half his fortune to charity.

320x486.jpg?fit=scale&background=000000
7) Femi Otedola, $1.8 Billion,
Source Of Wealth: Gas stations, Utilities, Self Made

Femi Otedola of Nigeria is the controlling shareholder of publicly traded Forte Oil, an oil marketing and power generation company. Originally a Nigerian subsidiary of British Petroleum (BP), Forte Oil has more than 500 gas stations across the country. It owns oil storage depots and manufactures its own line of engine oils. In 2013, Otedola led the company to purchase a government-owned stake in a gas-fired power plant in Kogi state in central Nigeria. In September 2015, Swiss commodities giant Mercuria said it would acquire a 17% stake in Forte Oil for $200 million; as of late February 2016 the transaction is not yet complete. Otedola's daughter, Ifeoluwa, is a popular disc jockey who goes by the moniker 'DJ Cuppy'. She was the official disc jockey during the May 2015 inauguration of Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari. Otedola is a fitness buff, spending at least one hour in the gym every day.

Führer Trump Shows Off His Black History Chops to the Media & Some of His "Black" Supporters…

Trump Shows Off His Black History Chops, Big League

President Donald Trump took a wild stab at African American history Wednesday morning when he described the 19th-century black abolitionist leader, social reformer and writer Frederick Douglass as "somebody who has done an amazing job."

Trump said during a listening session that he was “very proud” of the National Museum of African American History and Culture, which opened before he took office, for providing a place where people can learn about Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and “so many other things."

"Frederick Douglass is an example of somebody who has done an amazing job and is being recognized more and more, I notice," Trump said, perhaps unable to articulate Douglass' historically recognized role as an abolitionist leader and the first black citizen to hold a high rank in the U.S. government.

He went on to name Harriet Tubman and Rosa Parks as examples of "black Americans who made America what it is today."

"A big impact," Trump said. "I'm proud to honor this heritage. I will be honoring it more and more."

Yukmouth on J Prince Protecting Him During Beefs: Master P Knew Better

Rap-A-Lot CEO J Prince has a legendary following, which Yukmouth touched on during a recent interview with Hip Hop DX. He shared how J Prince immediately bailed him out of jail for $150,000, which he pointed out is unheard of in a lot of cases with rappers.
Yukmouth explained, "J Prince posted that shit the next day. You done heard the stories of Tupac getting locked up and Interscope not bailing his ass out. You seen Bobby Shmurda getting locked up. A million dollar bail is just $100,000 up front. 10 percent with a house. You ain’t paying no meal ticket. So the record label couldn’t put up $100,000 for their top artist? A record label couldn’t put up $100,000 for ‘Pac? Suge had to put up $100,000 with a house. He didn’t have to put up a million dollars."

During the interview, Yukmouth also shared about J Prince protecting him from beefs he had at the time, which you can hear about in full in the above video.

Learn interesting things like...

*In the beginning, he clowned Puff for wearing a 3-piece suit at the Bad Boy office...which pretty much fucked his career & relationship with Puff from the jump....and also costed him a feature on Ready to Die

*He was supposed to be the 2nd voice on Biggies Warning, b4 Biggie ended up handling double-duty himself

*He was mad stubborn, whereas Biggie took direction from Puff and took his ideas to higher heights. Macks unwillingness to take Puffs advice also fucked his career

Pretty interesting watch...
