Meet Africa's First Female Billionaire, Isabel Dos Santos - Forbes ^ ^ by IleIfe2(m): 7:29am On Jan 25, 2013
Isabel Dos Santos, Daughter of Angolan President Eduardo Jose Dos Santos is Africa's first female Billionaire according to Forbes. She reached the one Billion mark by buying shares of public traded companies in Portugal combined with her assets in Angolan firms. Based on Forbes assessment, she has a "humble beginning" (Self-made). Started with a small restaurant at the age of 24 called Miami Beach and the rest is history.



Isabel Dos Santos On Forbes

The Nigerian media was abuzz with a story published by Huffingtonpost and Dailymail, which claimed Oprah Winfrey had been dethroned as the richest black woman by a Nigerian named Folorunsho Alakija. Alakija was said to be $500 million richer than Oprah with an estimated net-worth of $3.2 billion. An assessment done by Ventures-Africa. Forbes puts Folorunsho Alakija's Net-worth at $600 million. So, who do i believe? Forbes or Ventures-Africa?

These rich people always start small. Some of them start without shoes (CinC). Some, fashion designers (Tailor). Others, start restaurants (Buka). There are people who were security men in London (Gate-man). I hawked Chin-Chin (Snacks), so i will become a billionaire too. lol

Poster you are a very puerile being for including this part into your post. Why because, you do not know the history of ho these two ladies got to where they are right now. How can the daughter of a president be a self made billionaire without the intervention and influence of her dad? As for Alakija, Tell me how a fashion designer - a person she was before she had an oil block- become a billionaire all of a sudden if she wasnt messing with powers that were quite high ? Versace, Levis, LV and CK (all world class designers put together) don't have her current net worth. Yet she was a designer. That's a food for thought for you- now eat it and wash your plate.
