It is no secret that the Black community has long been underrepresented in the
field of business. However, this is slowly changing, as evidenced by the 2023
Forbes Billionaires List which was released on Tuesday, April 4, 2023. This year,
there are 16 Black billionaires on the list, with a combined net worth of over $60
billion. While this is still a relatively small number compared to the overall list
of 2,640 billionaires, it is a significant increase from the mere three black
billionaires that were on the list in 2013.
The Tesla CEO Elon Musk has officially been eclipsed as the richest person in the
world by French luxury goods entrepreneur Bernard Arnault. With a $211 billion
fortune, the 74-year-old engineer tops Forbes’ list of billionaires for 2023,
overtaking Musk, who was first last year and is now in second place, by $31
billion.
Among the Black Billionaires on the list are a mix of familiar names and newcomers.
Jay-Z has been named one of the world’s billionaires on Forbes’ list. The rap icon
and successful entrepreneur was ranked #1217 as a result of his several successful
endeavors, including his most recent choice to sell his stake in a liquor company.
Roc Nation artist Rihanna is listed at #2020, mostly because of her Fenty Beauty
brand. Her net worth is reportedly $1.4 billion this year.
Just as we have wealthier people on the list, there are people who have also fallen
off the revered annual list. Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, fell off Forbes’
billionaire’s list after losing about $1.6 billion of his net worth when he lost
several business deals following his antisemitic comments. Ye is not the only
person to fall off the list. In fact, 254 one-time billionaires are no longer.
What is most encouraging about this trend is that it is not limited to the United
States. Nigeria, for instance, is home to three of the 16 Black billionaires on the
list. Aliko Dangote—the richest man in Africa—is the richest Black man in the
world, with a net worth of an impressive $14.2 billion. Other African billionaires
that made the list include Patrice Motsepe and Mike Adenuga.
The 2023 Forbes Billionaires List is a testament to the growing wealth and success
of black people around the world. As the list continues to grow, it is clear that
black people are becoming an increasingly powerful force around the globe.
