- Well, I am a W-O-M-A-M with pride. - I'm a woman. - One man, oh two. - You won't believe in number two. I didn't believe in number two. Isabella Africa. - Africa. - Africa. - You are raising that flag. - What? - Another African woman? (dramatic music) - Let's chill. - What up, challenge of this? - Yes, it's your boy, Coach L.J. And you know, I'm always with my co-hosts, my lovely wife, my awesomeness, my business partner. - I'm the host. - I'm the host. (laughing) - I'm kidding, go ahead. - My awesomeness, my lovely wife. The world and only lady sees us, she is in the building. (buzzing) Yes, you know we're about to survive. Each and every week. You know what I'm saying? You know, just so let's jump right in. We're welcome to Sunday Fundy, where we all about learning, being informative, and having fun. What's popping onto me, baby? - See how you introduce me, it means I'm the host. Okay, I am the woman. - Yes, she is. - It's Women's Month, give me that. - Yes. - You know, give me that. So yeah, we are in Women's Month, the month of March, International Women's Month, and we just celebrated Women's Day on the 8th of March. Hope every woman out there was inspired in some way or the other, and continue to be encouraged and be the best that you can be. There's one thing that I know that women can do it all. We are super women. - Yes, yes. - We can multitask, we're the masters of multitasking, we're the masters. I mean, a house with a woman can stand and be strong. - Yes. - But we've seen that most houses with just men, they fall apart. - Tells you how much women are worth. - Yes, they are for that. - So on that note of celebrating women, because we said the whole of March, we're gonna be celebrating women, sharing the incredible stories and showing how they've also come up the ranks, because hey, you know, it's been hard to get women up there, because first of all, they had to fight being a woman, being opposite sex. Last week, we did top 10 powerful, the richest or wealthiest woman in the world. And we realized that there was not even one black woman. - Yes. - And the reason for that is that, not only that you have to fight your space in being a woman, you have to also additionally fight the fact that you are black. So that's just another barrier that we come across as women. This week, we are gonna be talking about the richest black woman, let me write, black woman, my sisters with the melon name in the world in 2024. This is actually a list that was released by Forbes in January, 2024. - Yes. - So Forbes, everybody knows Forbes. - Forbes. - Yep. - Okay. - So Forbes is accredited as well. - Yes. - So we aim like, okay, stay tuned next week, 'cause next week we'll be doing top 10 wealthiest women in Africa. Black woman, no, we'll just say woman, woman in Africa. - Okay. - And for now we're doing top 10 black women in the world. - In the world. - Yeah. - The wealthiest top 10 black woman in the world. - Okay. - Right. - Yes. - So. - Now Cass, it was a color woman last week. - There's no color woman. - Yeah, what is she for India? - It is India, yeah. - Yeah, she's color? - Whoa. - Yeah. - I just thought about it. It's like, hold on, she's color. - Yeah, she's a woman of color. - She's a woman of color. - That was just one out of 10. - That was just one out of 10, yes, one out of 10. So we thought, let's raise the black sisters this week. - Yes. - And give them the flowers that they never receive. - Yes. - Because in most cases, black woman, they're very not well celebrated. And we don't even celebrate each other to be honest. Instead we pull each other down and stuff. So I hope that this narrative changes, especially in this new generation, that we celebrate each other more. - Yes. - So, before we look at these remarkable women, let's go into LJ's prediction. (audience applauding) All right. - Okay, okay, my prediction. - Yep, let's hear the top three. - My top three. - All three that will appear. - Okay. - We want names, right? - Yeah. - And I think you only know one person. - Yeah, Oprah Winfrey. - Of course. - Yeah, I don't know if Beyonce and Rihanna up there yet. - Okay. - I don't know. - Is anything possible? But I believe majority of the other people is coming from, like, probably Nigeria. - Okay. - Could be Nigeria. - Oh, you love Nigeria, why? - Yeah, because they are smart business people. - No, well, we've got a smart black woman all over the world. - I know. - I think you let your answer be instead. Nigeria right now is the top one. - Economic, yes, and economic, yes, and economic. So that's the reason why. - That's number one in Africa with the economics. But I guess-- - Since we're looking at black woman, there's a possibility that number one in Africa will appear in the top. - Yes, yes, yes. - So disclaimer, I have not seen what the list look like. Came across the article as usual. And I also like the element of surprise. So I'll be as just a surprise as you guys are. LJ, of course, doesn't know. - I don't know. - Doesn't know at all. I don't even look at the list. - Don't you have a sneak peek? - Yes. - I don't even go through it. - I don't even look at the list. - No, I don't. - Yeah, I had no idea. - So these predictions, the sneak peek, are pro and free. - Pro and free. - Maybe Rihanna. - Maybe Beyonce. - I'm not sure. So if they're there, we're not gonna celebrate with him, right? 'Cause they're maybe. - Maybe, yeah, maybe. - And who else? - Maybe somebody from Nigeria. - Yeah, maybe. I'm gonna believe Africa is in here. I don't know what part of Africa, but I believe Africa. It could be anywhere in Africa, but I believe Africa-- - I think in Nigeria and definitely because like we said, they are up there. - Yeah, they're up there, yeah. So definitely Nigeria or Africa, anywhere in Africa, probably, I don't know. - Okay, let's get it on. - Let's see. - So, I think Rihanna is up there. Rihanna and because they be there in here. So I'll be, yeah. - 'Cause they believe in it. - Yeah. - Oh, these are remarkable. - And Beyonce. - Okay, you're done now. Done? - Yeah, I'll do that. - So these remarkable women may have inherited their fortunes from their families or spouses. But the inclusion in the world's richest black woman speaks volumes also about their astute of investments. - Oh, Jayce. - And exceptional ability to expand their work. 'Cause you might have inherited it, but if you don't have the ability to expand, then you will lose even though your husband left it to you or your family. But if you cannot expand it, then you lose it. So even though they might not have started from scratch, we still applaud them that they were good stewards of their fortunes, okay? So, let's look at the top 10 women starting from-- - 10. - Number 10, let's see. - Okay, so our number 10 this week is Wendy Applebaum. - What, Wendy Applebaum? - I don't know who that is. - So, Wendy, really? Wendy Applebaum is a South African. - Oh, wow. - Thank you, Jayce. - Okay. - Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. - Wait, is she's black? - She's black. - No, she's Indian, I think. - She's Indian, oh yeah, okay. - She looks colored, she's actually colored. - She's colored, yeah. - She's a philanthropist. - She makes race, yeah. - A philanthropist and one of the richest and most powerful women in Africa. So, she's number 10. She is worth 259 million. - Wow, how much? - $159 million. - 20, $59 million. Okay, so, yeah, Rihanna is-- - In dollars, though. - Rihanna is in dollars, Rihanna, and Rihanna is, yeah, they definitely-- - But you're messing up the list down with the predicament. - Okay, okay. - We'll get you now. - Oh, her journey with this Wendy to success began by working in her father's company, The Liberty Group, where she eventually rose to become my director at The Liberty Group investors. During her turn, she became one of the company's largest individual shareholders, that's smart. You learn your way up and then you end up buying all the shares. After a successful career in the financial sector, Wendy Applebaum made a significant decision to sell her shares. - Mm. - And in 2003, opened the wine farm with her husband. - Mm, smart. - Yeah, so she expanded her thing. - At some time, you had to sell to do something different. - Something else, with her remarkable achievements and diverse business interest, Wendy Applebaum, has not only earned the title of the richest woman in South Africa, but also stands among the wealthiest women in the entire African continent. - Wow. - So the richest woman in South Africa only has $259 million. - Mm-hmm. - Okay. - But, hey, we in the top turn. Doesn't matter. - Number nine. - Number nine. - Janice Bryant Howard. - Okay. - Janice Bryant Howard. - Yes, I don't know who that is. - I will find out. Janice Byron Howard is the founder and CEO of Act One. - At One. - Do you know Act One? - No. - Me too. - I'm a provider of workforce solutions. I know workforce. - Workforce, yes. - But that's agencies. - Yes, agencies, yes. - According to Forbes, she opened the business in Los Angeles in 1978 with only $1,500, including $900 loan from her mother. - Mm-hmm. - Wow. - No, no, no. - The company now generates an annual revenue of about $1 billion. - $1 billion. - US dollars. - That's how much the company, but she's worth $600 million. - That's under me a net worth. - Net worth, yep. That's Janice. That's incredible though. - Yeah, that's incredible. - Hi, number eight. - Number eight. - B.B. - Oh, Beyonce. - Beyonce. - Beyonce. - Yeah. - Beyonce. - Beyonce. - Jocel Knoll's Carter. Is the undeniably one of the most prominent and effluent black woman globally. So you were partially right, Alleluia. - Yes. - Despite her marriage to billionaire J.D., the majority of her wealth comes from the illustrious music career and a successful clothing company, Ivy Park. - Yes, and she probably go up even higher now after her concert, yeah. - That's what I'm saying. - They're selling her during the documentary or other. So it's probably going to be more. - Oh my gosh, she's actually recording a rock album. - You're right. And you know what, too? - So she's stepping into the white community. - Yes, and you know what, too? She played a smart during the Super Bowl. - Yeah. - 'Cause she was, this good marketing. 'Cause she used an ad that she was on for Verizon to announce her own song and announce her ad. Yeah, her album. She announced her album that was coming out in the song. - She's an American singer, songwriter, and actress started off performing in singing and dancing competitions as a child. She rose to fame in the late 1990s and the lead singer of Destiny. So remember Destiny's song? - Destiny's song. - Everyone's song? - Oh. - I forgot the song. One of the best selling girl group of all time. Yeah, it was one of the best selling. Oh, the single ladies? - Oh, the single ladies, yes. No, that's Beyonce, I think. - Oh, that's just her by her song. - Is it, oh, I'm a survivor? - Almost, I don't know, yeah, but I mean. - I think that's a bit, I forgot. - Yeah, 90. - Beyonce was the first black woman to headline the music festival Coachella. - Mm. - Her electrifying performance at the event became the most streamed Coachella video on YouTube ever. Admittedly, Beyonce is rated one of the biggest and most successful female musicians in the world. She is a filled with unique talent which has been the source of her performance and prolificency in musical career. And guess what, Beyonce is a perfectionist from what I hear. She likes everything to be done. You see, like, if you see the tour, there was a few glitches as expected 'cause it was live, but she handled each and everyone like a pro. At one point, there was a wall drop malfunction, but you have to really pay attention. - Keep them moving. - You have to move it. At one point, her week got hooked to the fan. She kept it moving. She didn't stop, she didn't miss a beat. That shows you how professional she takes her job. At two, so as of 2024, Beyonce has accumulated a remarkable net sort of over 800 million US dollars positioning her as the second richest female black musician. - Okay, yeah, we're coming over to no one. - Second richest female black musician. - We just, we know the number one is. - Number seven is Sheila Crump Johnson. - Sheila Crump Johnson?

And the first African American woman to attain a net worth of at least one million US dollars. She is worth 840 million dollars though. In 2021, she was listed on Forbes as one of the America's self-made woman. Wow. In 1979, Sheila Crump Johnson co-founded the cable TV, Black Entertainment Network with then-husband Robert Viacom, bought it for three billion in 2001. After her divorce in 2002, she sold off her shares and has since invested in hotels in Florida and Virginia, planes and real estate and horses. - And horses? - As a cultural liaison to the Middle East for the US, Information Agency helped establish the National Music Convention of Jordan. In 1980, Johnson co-founded Black Entertainment Television which is BET. The first station focused on the needs, interest, and culture of African Americans. Wow, we're meeting an incredible woman. I didn't know that there was a black woman behind BET. - I know it was a black man, but of course, that was his last wife. - That's right, that's right. - Yeah, that's right. - Yeah, I know it was black man. - Number six. - Six. - It's Hagia Bola-Changaya. - Okay. - Hagia. - Hagia? - Yeah, Hagia Bola-Changaya is Nigerian born, international business tycoon, fashion enthusiast, and political icon. Her career started off in the banking sector where she worked at the central bank of Nigeria. However, her intrapural spirit soon led her to venture into importation and exploitation of photographic material, diversifying her interest and expanding her horizon. She is worth 950 million US dollars, but just important in exporting photographic material. Photographic, I wonder what that is. Photographic material. - Yeah, I don't, you're not photographing materials, I don't know about materials. - I don't know. - Maybe. - I don't know. - Bola-Changaya holds prominent roles, including being a valid member of the board of Unity Bank and serving as the managing director of Pratt Oil. Her active investment involvement in various industries also extends to her patronage of fashion designs association of Nigeria. As of 2024, Bola exceptional achievements have amazed her as a staggering network estimated of over 950 US dollars. Solidifying her status as one of the world's wealthiest black women. - Okay. - She is the second richest woman in Nigeria. - Second richest woman? - In Nigeria. - So wow, it's another Nigerian in the top 10. - Yeah, yeah. So number five. - Number five. - So you were right, let's clap for you. (audience applauds) And South African, and yep. So number five, here you go, here's another, this is the richest woman in Nigeria. - Okay. - Her name is Folo Rocho Alajika. Alajika, Alakija, please forgive me. (laughs) - Yeah, could you definitely butcher that name? - I'm butchering it. - Yeah, you definitely. - She's a prominent Nigerian billionaire, businesswoman, and philanthropist. Her diverse wealth is primarily sourced from thriving ventures in the fashion, oil, real estate, and printing industry. - Okay. - She's worth one billion US dollars for the network. Shortly after completing her fashion design course at the American College and the Central School of Fashion in London, Alajika established her own fashion house supreme stitches within the confines of the Model 3 bedroom apartment in Lagos.

Oh, and she gained recognition for celebrating Nigerian culture through her clothing creations.

So as of 2024, for the original Alajika's network stands at an astounding one billion US dollars positioning her as the wealthiest woman in Nigeria and one of the richest black women globally. So you see the richest black woman in South Africa is only a couple of millions, 250 something. The richest woman in Nigeria. - Big difference. - One billion dollars. - Big difference. - That's okay, gotta do better. - Big difference. - Gotta do better. - They're sending millions though. - Yeah, yeah, and then once.

The nation's first, oh, Christos, the nation's first president. - Okay. - Was Gina Kenyatta holds a prominent position in the Kenyan society. She also, a proud mother of the current president, really now. So she was the wife of the president. - The president. - And now is the mother of the current president. - President. (laughing) - Oh, who rule Kenyatta? That's how I know the last name, who who rule Kenyatta? - Okay. - That's the current president. - Yeah. - Okay, Gina Kenyatta's world is derived from various Lucas adventures, including real estate. - Real estate, I'm telling you. - Yes, real estate. - But you never go wrong. - You never could go wrong with estate. - Forming, banking, and manufacturing, her business acumen and success has gone, attention leading forms to recognize as one of the, of one of the female millionaires to watch out for in Africa back in 2012. So she was a millionaire back in 2012. That's why she's a billionaire now. With an estimated network of US dollars, one, over just one billion US dollars, Gina Kenyatta ranks fourth among the richest black woman in the world in 2024. - See, because when you got a member of real estate, right? It's a slow grind, but if you keep building, you have real estate portfolio, eventually you're gonna be able to do big adventures, like buying hotels, like buying different corporations, all that different things allow you to do bigger deals. - I mean, we, we, people are giving birth every day, so we need more places to stay anyway. - Yes. - That's why there's so many high rises coming up now. And they still, you know, doing well, because guess what? People, they need, they need places to stay. - Mm-hmm. - Yup. - Uh-huh. - Three? - Yup. (loud buzzing) - These women have done incredibly well. - Mm-hmm. - It's the one and only Rihanna. - Rihanna. - Okay. - Oh, wow. Robin Rihanna Fenty is a Babylonian singer. - Mm-hmm. - Actress, fashion designer, and business woman. She is the third richest black woman and the, and the world's richest female artist with a net worth of 1.4 billion US dollars. So she's the, she's about, I didn't even think she'd be above Beyonce. - Yeah, she's doing her thing. - Which are then Beyonce. - Yeah, 'cause you know what I mean? She was in a billion years before Beyonce. - Yeah, I mean-- - Beyonce's not even a billion. Beyonce's doing 800 million. - Yeah, and the reason why she's in a billion because of her, no, because of her husband. - No, the 800 million for Beyonce is just her. - That's just hard, you're right. But I'm saying-- - The billion it because of her husband. Yes, that's what I'm saying. - I think, yeah, we just looking at the, yeah. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, there you come. - But also, remember Rihanna started focusing on business way-- - Way before Beyonce, yeah. - 'Cause she's got the Fenty-- - Yeah, she got, yeah, she did all that, yeah. - And she's got the makeup. - So she has like an array of stuff that she's-- - Yeah, I think Beyonce just started with the business. But she do throw her thing now with the business thing. - She is, she is. And I mean, like I'm so proud of Rihanna all the way from Barbados, that's amazing. Just becoming the richest black woman artist. That's incredible, in the world. And also, the richest black woman in the world. Top three, that's incredible. At her young age-- - Yeah. - 'Cause if you're gonna see the two's and ones, they weigh up in age, so they had a lot more time to work on it. - Yeah, to build on it. - But her, she is actually the youngest, I believe, of all these-- - All the ladies, yeah. - According to Forbes, the majority of Rihanna's worth originates from her makeup line. - They go. - Fenty Beauty, rather than her music. She makes more money there. Another business venture that has helped her amass, so much wealth, is ex-fenty, a lingerie line she co-holds. I think ex-fenty's for the bigger ladies. It's a bigger ladies. We need something sexy too, you know. All right, she's worth 1.4 billion. - Okay. - That's her net worth. Number two, you won't believe in number two. I don't believe in number two. Isabellos Santos. - Huh? - Isabellos Santos. - What's that? - We're gonna find out. 'Cause I was surprised. Isabellos Santos doesn't ring a bell to you? - No. - Is a business woman from Angola, and the eldest child of the former Angolian presidents, Jose Dors Santos, who governed the nation of nearly four decades. You know, when I saw Santos, I was thinking of the governor of Florida. That's possible. I know, this one is from Angola. - Angola. - Africa. - Africa. - Africa. - You are raising that flag. - What? - Another African woman, Angola. - Angola. So, throughout her career, Santos has built an impressive and diverse investment portfolio, which includes a notable 25% stake in Unitell, a prominent Angolian mobile phone company. You can't go wrong there as well. - No, yeah, telecommunication. - Right, as well as 25% ownership in Banco Bank, SA, a prominent Angolian bank. Beyond these ventures, she also possesses substantial investments in North SGPS, I don't know what that is. A major Portuguese cable TV provider and holds a stake of just under 20% in Banco BPR. She has a vast portfolio for you. One of the largest publicly traded banks in Angola. So, she's definitely in the banking era as well. - And she diversified herself. - Her business interests extend to holdings in various companies within Portugal and Angola. However, despite her substantial success, Dost Santos has faced a series of investigations and allegations, particularly concerning fraud and corruption. (laughing) These controversies have had significant ramification leading her to removal from Forbes list of Africa richest women in January, 2021. Jealousy. (laughing) - Jealousy. - It's those jealous people. You go go with your wealth. - Mm-hmm. - So jealous people trying to pull her down. The freezing of her assets in Angola, Portugal and the Netherlands coupled with a debt of $340 million owed to the Portuguese company P.T. Ventures has contributed to the challenges she currently faces. So, she could have probably been number one, but because she's had so many problems they try to pull her down, then maybe that's why. - Yeah. Maybe they give it to Oprah. Y'all know what number one is. - Right. - If she's number two, then they had to pull her. I guess they just didn't want a black African to be number one. - Maybe. - While their son's wealth and accomplishments were highly regarded, once highly regarded, her current legal and financial troubles have brought her under scrutiny and cash shadows over her previously celebrated status, but she's still number two in the world. - Yeah, 'cause she didn't write, she didn't, she didn't definitely write industries. - She diversified herself so much. - Yeah, with seller communications, with banking. - Everything. - And with the state. - Mm-hmm. - Yeah, she's definitely. - Just everywhere. - Yeah. - The only thing she's not in is mining, but banking, phone. - Yup. - Real estate, like TV. - TV. - Everything, I don't know why they're trying to pull that down. She's watched two billion US dollars. - Two billion. - Yeah, she definitely, she's in the right industry. So, and it goes to show you. - And she still looks very young. - Yeah, she does. Black don't crack, they say, right? - Yeah, don't crack, let's talk. - Number one. - Number one. - One. - One. - Yeah, we already know what it is. - I'm going. (air whooshing) - Our very own. This Oprah! - Winfrey, yeah, yeah. We are in here. - She's currently the richest black woman in the world with a net worth of 2.8 billion according to Forbes. She is an American talk show host, television producer, actress, author and philanthropist. She's a self-made billionaire, that's true though. Born in rural poverty. There's no self-made. - Born in rural poverty and raised by a mother, dependent on government welfare payments in her poor urban neighborhood, Winfrey became a millionaire at the age of 32. When her talk show received national syndication, she negotiated ownership rights to the television program and started her own production company, making her the first black American woman to own her own production company. Of course, her wealth shot up as a consequence. In 2003, Oprah Winfrey hit the one billion mark. - Mm-hmm. - That I was away. - Mm-hmm. - Way, way. - 20 years ago, over 20, 21. - In 2003. - Yeah, 21 years ago. - It's just been a billion years ago. - Yeah, 20 years. - Wow. - So it really, it didn't rise that much after 20 years 'cause she's only 2.8 now. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, but it goes to show you though, the industry, she ain't 'cause if she was in banking to the communication of real estate, if she was more diverse, she would have been up there. Yeah, so that was just on TV. Imagine if she would have went to real estate. Imagine if she would have did a little bit more. - I think she's doing a bit more of some of that. - Yeah, now, but imagine back then. - Back then. - Yeah, imagine if she would have did that back then, crossed over into more 'cause she mostly focused, probably 80% of her wealth cut from TV. So imagine she would have did more, she would have diversified more. But again, too, it goes to education too. - But no, but also just being content with what she had. - Yeah, being content, private stuff. - Maybe I would seem to tap into things she doesn't have an idea. - Because you got a member too, because if you don't know about the industry, you don't want to go into something that you don't know about. - I guess you just wanted to do something that you enjoyed. - It's right, yeah. And then you got a member, you had to, because-- - No, the number one in the world. - I know that, but you were, yeah, she was content. Like I said, she's number one. She's still being here. So she loved what she's doing. And it was okay, you know, it's up to you. But the thing is too-- - And she has no kids to lose the money for, so. (laughs) - That's your tool.
