Oprah is Only African American on Forbes Billionaire List




According to the 2011 Forbes Billionaire List, Nigeria's Aliko Dangote with a net worth of $13.8 billion is the richest Black person in the world.

The other Black billionaires on the 2011 list are South African gold magnate Patrice Motsepe with $3.3 billion, American Oprah Winfrey at $2.7 billion and Nigeria's Mike Adenuga with $2 billion.

From 2001 to 2003, Forbes listed BET (Black Entertainment Television) founder Bob Johnson, an American, as a billionaire, but dropped him after his fortune was split in his divorce.

Johnson returned to Forbes Billionaire list in 2007 with a net worth of $1.1 billion. In 2008 Johnson's wealth dropped further to approximately $1.0 billion and in 2009 he dropped off the list again after some questionalbe investments.

Nigerian petroleum executive Femi Otedola briefly emerged as a billionaire in 2009, but was not listed as one in 2010 or 2011.

With a net worth of $500 Million, Diddy (aka Sean "Puffy" Combs) was listed as "one to watch" to be on a future Fortune 400 Richest person list.

Today, I went to the beach front with my kids. I found a sea
shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear."
She placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit
crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back!
LoL I know this is completely off topic but I had to tell someone!

Thanks for your article on this site. From my very own experience, periodically softening way up a photograph may possibly provide the photographer with a little an imaginative flare.
Many times however, that soft blur isn't precisely what you had at heart and can often times spoil a normally good photograph, especially if you anticipate enlarging this.
