Black Billionaires
There are currently 19 Black billionaires in the world. Nigerian business magnate Alhaji Aliko Dangote is the world's richest Black person.

It is a testament to the hard work, dedication and ambition of these individuals, who have been able to break through barriers and achieve success in a world that often makes it hard for Black people to do so.
