Becoming a billionaire is already a rare occurrence. But becoming a Black billionaire is close to damn near impossible. Out of the more than 600 billionaires in the world, less than 10 are Black. Rihanna’s work ethic and skill in various business ventures has landed her a total net worth of 1.7 billion dollars, making her the richest female musician in the world and the richest female entertainer after Oprah whose net worth is at 3.5 billion dollars according to celebrity net worth. And we know about Tyler Perry hitting the billion dollar status with an estimated net worth of 1 billion.

This list of Black millionaires are gaining on them with smart investments and business enterprises that will push them right over that billion-dollar threshold.

The following eight millionaires are closest to becoming Black billionaires in the next few months. BLAC will be keeping a close eye on their progress.
