I dont want this to come across as a weird question, i dont mean anything by it...

But who is the richest person, of African descent in the world?

I am watching Coming to America on TV right now, and Eddie Murphy playing a super rich black prince got me thinking.

The only rich black people i know of are huge sportsmen. Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods...

I know throughout history black people have been hard done by. And still come across difficulties in some societies.

I havent googled this, maybe it can become a discussion.

Thanks.
 
Mugabe?

He's stolen the wealth of an entire country.

Plenty of rich successful black people. But you have to remember they are only a small percentage of western population, so there is of course going to be fewer.

My thoughts exactly.
 
Ok thanks for a bit of info. I guess other than Mugabe and the celebrity ones I just hadnt really heard or thought of any others.

I wasnt personally classing arabs and asian people into the "black" people I initially thought.

Im scared incase I come across racist or anything lol .

It was just something that dawned on me when I was watching the film.
 
I like Chris Rocks answer

Black people may be rich, but whites have the wealth!!!

Shaq might have a Cheque for a millions dollars, but the white man signs it.

Sorry to butt-in there...
 
Coming to America seriously wins - EM playing the white, jewish guy in the barber shop just rules!! mindless, true, but keeps on givin'
