Oprah Winfrey, Kanye WestBy Biodun BusariThe American business magazine, Forbes has been criticised for excluding some renowned Black American billionaires in its recent 2022 Forbes 400 List of Richest Americans. However, some black billionaires such as the talk show host Oprah Winfrey and American rapper Kanye West were left out because Forbes considered them “too poor” for meeting the requirements. Forbes said, “Oprah Winfrey (estimated net worth, $2.5 billion) is too poor. In the statement on Tuesday, Forbes said, “Neither do Kim Kardashian ($1.8 billion), Michael Jordan ($1.7 billion), Peter Jackson ($1.5 billion) or Jay-Z ($1.3 billion). “In all, Forbes found more than 300 American billionaires who have ten-figure fortunes, but not enough dough to crack The Forbes 400.”RELATED NEWS
