The World's Richest Black Person is from Ethiopia

Ethiopia born Mohammed Al Amoudi is the World's richest black person with a net worth of $9 Billion. Forbes magazine March 2008 edition puts him at number 97 in the world and the 6th richest person in all of Africa and Middle East.

Forbes wrote "Two of the most noteworthy new entrants are South Africa's Patrice Motsepe and Nigeria's Aliko Dangote, the first black Africans to make their debut among the world's richest. Dangote is also the first-ever Nigerian billionaire." I have no idea what Forbes editors think of Mohamed Al Amoudi who was born and raised in Ethiopia, whose mother is Ethiopian.

By our count of the World Billionaires list from Forbes, Ethiopian born Mohamed Al-Amoudi is the World's Richest Black Person. The second richest black person is Nigeria's Dangote.

So let it be known, the richest Black Person is Ethiopian.
