Oprah Winfrey
Oprah Winfrey is the only African-American media mogul and billionaire at the same time, that we know of, and her net worth expands somewhere in the mark of $3 billion.
So to show you how she became this wealthy, we are going to give just an example of investment that landed her easy money.
In the year 2000 she and some other wealthy women created the cable channel Oxygen that was a portal to all the women out there.
When giant media conglomerate NBC Universal wanted to expand their vision to a channel like the one Oprah and friend founded they offered the gang $925 million.
The price was fair and the guys from NBC purchased Oxygen, while Oprah was earning $72 million after taxes for her early investment.
