Richest white people
Bezos
Gates
Buffett
Zuckerberg
Larry Page
Larry Ellison
Sergey Brin
Charles Koch
David Koch
Rob Walton

Richest Black People
Oprah
Robert F. Smith
Michael Jordan
Puff Daddy
Tiger
Robert L. Johnson
Mariah Carey
Magic Johnson
Jay-Z
Sheila Johnson

Why are most of the richest blacks entertainers and athletes while most of the richest whites are businessmen/entrepreneurs? Does something prevent whites from being billion-dollar entertainers? Does something prevent blacks from being innovators? I know Oprah, Jay-Z, Tiger, etc have businesses now...but that was made possible due to their greatness as entertainers. Quite the query. I’ll hang up and listen.

There are probably a couple of white entertainers/athletes who are as wealthy than some of the top wealthy black ones on the list, but the wealthy businesses owners are worth far more than all of them.

Oprah is poor compared to the white guys on that list.

There is nothing cultural to sell so to speak

Mel Gibson was pretty close to a billionaire at one point

The guy who just bought the Carolina Panthers (David Tepper) is worth 11 billion, and isn’t even on the list. Oprah is worth 2.8 billion.

I'm just glad to see that an athlete on the list didn't piss away his money and end up broke.

Duuuuuude there’s people that aren’t on that list that are far more wealthy than Bezos. This is just what they want. For us to connect the dots and divide wealth by race. They’re controlling who’s allowed to make money and they making sure it’s an obvious difference in careers. Cmon man! They ruined Tesla bc he had way too much power with his technology.

More than likely the white person had a parent or grandparent who gave them the knowledge, the motivation to succeed in business or was born on third base.

Few blacks had the opportunity to thrive in corporate America when their parents and grandparents were coming up. Many who did had everything taken from them.
