Men take note; these ladies either inherited from their fathers or husbands. That means Oyibo too those days understood that a man is the hand of the home. #just learnt a bigger lesson from this.
Wow and these women still look and dress in. A simple manner. I love the fact that most of them inherited their wealth from fathers and husbands and did not end it there, they still worked hard and took their business to greater height. #hardworkpays! I'm next in line!

The black race is partially represented in Steve Jobs' widow Laurene who's dating the former mayor of DC Adrian Fenty, a black man. Mrs. Jobs literally carries a little black in her every day off of her most private interactions with the bf. Trust our black brothers to integrate this list in their own way. Lol.
Woooooow

It should be that thier wealth surpasses hers because the least n the list is 8.1billion while folorunsho alakija's networth is 7billion
Most of them got their wealth from either their husband or daddy or granddaddy! Where are the hardworking women who pushed their way through life to earn their own money?!
Most of them inherited their wealth.
Now this is the real deal
Not all those idiots postin nude pics
#HardWorkPays!!!!!
something similar to all of them,, did u guys notice that most if not all of them are widows? and or inherited from their fathers? make e happen for naija mk i see..
It could be that thier wealth surpasses hers' because the least on the list is 8.1billion while mrs alakija's networth is 7billion
Well...apart from Suzanne on number 6, all of them came into money from one form of inheritance or another. They are just rich kids or rich wives with good heads on thier shoulders. Most rich black women worked for their money from bottom.
Summary; you dont ave to do a sextape or pose naked on magazines b4 u make it
Most of these richest women are single ladies which their hubby's died and they continued from where their hubby stopped, strong wealthy women, that's wonderful I'd luv to see an African black woman in forbe's list soon
Then it means she didn't merit it
Add me up on bbm 52F30881
heeya,but she will get there
With all due respect, most of the people on this list inherited their wealth. Hats off to Alakija who built her own wealth from the scratch. Its a very remarkable achievement.
Even isabel dos Santos didn't make the list jst woooow
Wow, I hope to get to this level some day.
omitted..DEY WIL NEXT TYM.tomjerryswit

How to make your own floral headband
Must they all kill their husbands??lol,from secretary to wife to widow to billionaire hahahaha
We still proud of her even tho her fortune was gotten majorly through favorable policies unlike others who got theirs through inheritance. Self made is still d best

Wow, that's a lot of money these ladies are sitting on. Well, at least Madam Folorunsho is the riches woman in Africa if not the world.
Most of there wealths are inherited but Madam Alakija's wealth is self made.... Thats real wealth to me
Ok noted
WOW!!!! These women tho, nice...
Interesting,I will be among this women in 2020.
Women of substance!
I've noticed a pattern, the mostly married it or were born into it. Not self made, does it mean men are better at making money
O yea? then she should work harder. im not even surprised about this list, i cant see my wife's name on it either.
Alakija's own is 7billion
But the lowest is 8million
So she no reach now
And where is oprah sef, I thought she was the richest black woman
*sad all dis money wey dem dey call enh smh billion billion
No disrespect to everyone on that list nor to women at large, but why do women have to always depend on men? Everyone on that list (except #6, who to me is suppose to be #1) inherited their wealth.
We should be pround of her,,,,,,,,, everything she is today is her sweat not her husband or father.
I dey ask o! How is it dat Oprah didn't make d list, abi na strictly for white women b dis one??? Linda take note!
I dey ask o! How is it dat Oprah didn't make d list, abi na strictly for white women b dis one??? Linda take note!
Is not self made, her father is very wealthy, even Otedola too is not self made, his father was rich too.
Yes, they inherited it. But. They did are also working hard to keep the company running and keep the money coming. Visit www.bloomingveils.blogspot.com for wedding inspiration
Its simply cos she's not among nau abi????
Make alakija go find somewhere sitdown joor, she is supposed to be in the kitchen ...
Aside from being old, All this women never worked for this money they all inherited from either their husband or father. Unlike alakija folarunsho she worked hard for her money, her money is hard earned and not some inherintance
Your comment will be visible after approval
Great women.. Hard working, intelligent, and blessed..
good for them. but i noticed that all were inherited although the are able to manage them well anyway. folorunsho built her own
SHE WILL BE ON THE LIST NEXT TIME......AKA....PROPHESY
Exactly o, very simple, trust we naija women, ur hubby has small money not even hers o, they will wear blink blink from head to toe...
i noticed that blacks are rare among these "giantess" well you don't need to be white to be wealthy, either, you are not in lack because you are black, but truth is that if you don't have it in mind it will never reflect in your account. Nigerian women wake up and stop watching home videos
BOTTOM LINE: MARRY A RICH MAN OR PRAY YOUR DAD IS RICH. MOST OF THESE WOMEN DIDNT GET HERE THROUGH PERSONAL HUSTLE. IT IS A MANS WORLD. I CANT EVEN FEEL BAD.
They ALL inherited or got the fortune passed to them!!
Some of these women look like they are about to drop any time soon! inherited money and what not.
DOES IT MAKE HER LESS RICHER IN ANY WAY???
BESIDES LINDA NA ONLY APC U DEY ADVERTISE FRO UR BLOG. UR BOND WITH DEM TOO MUCH OOOOOOO

Den believe say Naija reach woman are as corrupted as the men......
Eno reach wetin politician dey still everyday..
I believe they wouldn't mention someone like Alakija cos most of the people these women inherited these wealth from, actually Created their wealth( with Vision and Hardwork), they didn't steal or tap out of the wealth belonging to a country. Look at Steve jobs, Mark Zuckerburg, Oprah, all the husbands/ Fathers of these women, Bill Gates, the Gucci family, the Ferragarmo family, all these people CREATED the wealth they have, but Nigerian Billionaires steal oil, use their influence to monopolize business and you want the world to recognize them.Me I don't want to see them in that list.What is the impact of the money in their society? Go to Dangote's hometown in the north, I'm sure their is no road, A beg!
Linda, you forgot to mention Diezani atleast the least 100 in the world ($1.48billion)
Pls which one is self made? Nigerian billionaires steal/ tap of a Nation's wealth, they monopolize businesses to suit them.self made ko self made ni. The people these women inherited these wealth from actually created the wealth from their vision and hardwork, the founder of Walmart didn't inherit Walmart.he Created Walmart from a need he discovered.Ferragarmo created the wedge shoe, you and I wear today from a problem he noticed during world war 2, so Alakija should go sit a beg!
awww...maybe next yr
work hard ma
#iamGuru...
ok..... so there are a lot of women even Oprah dont come close to
Bad belle, wetin u get?
Al those naija grls selling pussy and flaunting designers,5star hotel room pics,business class pics on instagram nkor? Lmaoooo
@lwkmd_naija
Your still alive so how will her name be there?? Nigerians that don't believe their women or daughters or sisters deserve any inheritance even though it's the women, daughters and sisters that better manage a business than the sons who have no single focus in life.
No more anonymous
@ Femi. You are so on point. Alakija is nothing but an Owambe Billionaire. All she knows is about going from one Owambe to. another and being idolized by those fake people. Most of those mentioned billionaires were also being mentioned for their philanthropy efforts which cannot be said about Alakija. No pun intended but I believe in "To whom much is given, much is expected". Is all about ME,ME AND ME In Nigeria but in Western World, you are being acknowledged and respected for your Philanthropy effort.

@ Alloy I was going to say....the commonality is most these women come from at least 2nd to 4th generation wealth. Hate to be a race monger but majority of these White wealthy families had a "head start" when I comes to wealth building compared to black people. Some of these companies were even built on the backs of slavery. And any attempt in the old days for blacks to establish wealth were destroyed. Now re: Mrs. Alakija....hmmmm....not to hate but let's keep it real on how she obtained her wealth. She was "dashed" that bloc by a grossly corrupt government. But I guess it takes some mettle to do something with your luck.
Lol!! You stoopid....
Hmmmm....built from scratch? Errr....aren't we reaching a bit?
Shame on you Femi...your money no reach her own in 20years to come. Instead of you to appreciate her hard work you're limiting her to the kitchen.
Guys, Do you want a 'serious' relationship? Try
BV HookUps
Abeg Chimezie say what you know! Which Alakija work hard!? No be oil for my backyard wey make am rich! She was given an OPL by IBB. She used to work with a bank as a clerk. Quit her job and went and learnt sewing and clothing design. Was designing for some generals wife. IBB's wife Mariam saw it and liked the designs. They introduced her to the seamstress. She started sewing for Mariam, got closer to the family and eventually was eventually given an OPL by IBB due to her close rapport with the wife! Her Oil wells is amongst the best. Come to Isiokpo I'll take you to her Oil wells. You'll pay for logistics. It's same oil wells that Tinubu is now working hard to get by "installing" Buhari and using you people's head and funnily you guys are shouting the mantra "Change"! I pity una!
Chai.....not only was Folorunsho's name not listed, mine wasn't either....so pained right now.
All the women listed bar one inherited their wealth. Their respective countries will never highlight this or try to diminish their status. But here we have an insignificant Nigerian idiots like Femi and anon 12:41 kicking their own person down. If Folarunsho is a billionaire because she attends the right parties, what have your own mothers achieved from their own socialising?
Anon 12:59, the wealthiest people in the world got there by knowing the right people. If all your friends are drunkards and weed smokers the choice yours. All the info you dropped here is not new and can never reduce her worth in dollars. Plz calm down and learn to sew.
From seeing their faces I trust they will be tight fisted.
Aunty Elaine 😁😁😁😁
Please stop showing this Alakija woman, she did not earn her money she was dashed an oil block by Babangida. How is she an example to young girls?
The women in the list have more money than her so i get why she didnt make the list.
All this people na hard work.. even the ones that inherited still put hard work. But alakija na dash dem dash am oil well.
Alakija work very hard to get to were she is nw not monney inherited from father or husband.....fami and anon 12:41 am sure you both are praying for inheritance that's if the inheritance is even dere broke ass set of pple ranting rubish
Excuse me anon 3:00pm but why is the Truth so hard for you to hear, tell me why you support evil cos it's your brother doing it.what Femi said is the plain truth. If you are a Christian / Muslim and you read your bible/ Quran, in them, didn't God punish people( bible) that were born amongst the house of David when they erred, did he say becos my son(Jesus) was born amongst you hence I will condone anything you do. In the old testament, the Israelites were his people but he punished them appropriately when need be. So what are you saying......cos that the same God you worship and adore, Say the Truth!
Anon 3:00pm you worship money that why the truth is hard for you to comprehend, that her country is not advertizing it does not mean it's not there so pls say the truth, and let it set you free, A fulfilled life is not all about money as Nigeria makes one believe.
She still rich sha
They did not mention Alakija because she's a whore who got her money via some oil wells given to her by IBB and Abacha after screwing her.
.
Whoring can take some people far. Too bad. Shameless yoruba woman.
