RICHEST BLACK WOMAN...NO NOT OPRAH...SO SAYS FORBES

By Osagie Alonge

Foloronsho Alakija, the richest black woman in the world has covered the second edition (December 2013/January 2014) of Forbes Africa Woman.

Here’s what Forbes had to say about the ‘Slick Oil Baroness‘:

And so it came to pass recently that 62-year-old Folorunsho Alakija, the oil baroness from Nigeria, became known as the richest black woman in the world. Alakija, however, is profoundly uncomfortable with the ‘super-rich’ tag. She believes that she is far more than just her fabulous wealth.

A collector’s item this is.

The first issue of Forbes Woman featured on its cover, South Africa’s Precious Moili-Motsepe – businesswoman, chairman Africa Fashion International and wife to Oil Magnate Patrice Motsepe.
