Every family has that one person who will break the family financial struggle, I hope you become the one😊
Investing in alternate income streams should be the top priority for everyone right now especially given the global economic crisis we are currently experiencing. Stocks, gold, silver and virtual currencies are still attractive investments at the moment.
If you don’t find a means of multiplying your money, you will wake up one day to realize that the money you thought you had, had exhausted. Investment is a ladder to climb the financial wall.
Can you show me how to trade profitably, I honestly need another source of steady income

I think that's not a good look though. We need more black representation in these industries. We have a lot of bad examples and not a lot of good ones especially outside of celebrities and entertainment.

Love seeing Black Americans succeed! We need to develop more opportunities for the youth to learn, and grow in business/tech.
We need 100% tax for billionaires.
@@chuckdude514 We need billionaires to pay their fair share.
Factzzzzzzz!!!!!
So much money has been dumped into urban areas to improve opportunities for decades. It goes no where without a culture shift.
We need to change the culture to value education and lifelong learning, avoiding drugs, living quietly and towards personal responsibility. All things this man possesses in spades. Right now the urban culture preaches everything but this, esp the hiphop and rap moguls on the bottom of this billionaire list. Those influences trap the many to rise the few.
@@BananasananaBpreach! So true.
I recently founded a tech company. This is inspiring.
Keep going and blow up. And beyond 'billions', Forbes, whatever, keep giving opportunities to rising and experieced talent and experts in your field of tech. It is the most important field that effects everyone. If you're on this path you deserve success & you'll get it.
Likewise! I hope to see you at the top my brother💪🏾

Anything is possible in America.
I'm favoured only God knows how much I praise Him, $230k every 4weeks! I now have a big mansion and can now afford anything and also support God’s work and the church.
Only God knows how much grateful i am. After so much struggles I now own a new house and my family is happy once again everything is finally falling into place!!
Wow that's huge, how do you make that much monthly?
I'm 37 and have been looking for ways to be successful, please how??
It's Ms. Susan Jane Christy doing, she's changed my life.
I started pretty low, though, $5000 thereabouts. The return came massive. Joey is in school doing well, telling me of new friends he's meeting in school. Thank you Susan Christy, you're a miracle.
This is my hometown! I ride by his company, World Wide Technology, often. It’s huge and sits right off the highway. It makes me smile on the inside. 😊
Black excellence you're gorgeous btw
So inspired
Climbing the ladder is hard, it's good to see those brave enough to climb rise
Wow kudos to him how he overcame a system that hates him
Maybe he didn't think of it that way thus his success.
That's an easy pretext
That repo story is crazy. He had blind faith in himself.
Last time I checked the list of the richest black person in America which was some years ago it was mostly celebrities and Robert Smith , the guy who is number 1 is someone who I'd never heard of back then
You're late. He's been on top long before R. Smith made his first billion. Everyone in Saint Louis knows him.
@@nachoskyful they said he just past Robert Smith this year. So he hasnt been on top long. He was worth $7 billion last year. Robert Smith was worth $9 billion

Damn...i just need $5mil....$1000mil is alot
as africa we are proud
David Steward's story is truly inspiring! His journey from humble beginnings to becoming the richest Black person in America showcases the power of resilience, hard work, and determination. It's incredible to see a tech entrepreneur like him breaking barriers and paving the way for others. His success with World Wide Technology proves that with the right vision and commitment, anything is possible. Steward's story is a reminder that we can achieve greatness no matter where we start, and it's exciting to think about how many future leaders his story will inspire!
"The richest black person????".... D.Steward would be offended by that marginalization... He is an 🇺🇸American Tycoon Tech entrepreneur..
@@Cottrell_Thomas You're absolutely right! David Steward is indeed an American tycoon and a highly respected tech entrepreneur. His success and contributions go far beyond any label, and he is a powerful example of excellence in business and technology for everyone.
@@Silversiren-d1b 💯💯💯‼️
The problem with Forbes headliner is that it marginallizes Stewards accomplishments to skin color as opposed to "excellence, hard work and skill"....
I don't care what color he is. Steward is great American 🇺🇸businessman. (Open up your eyes)
An amazing friend, brother and man of God from St. Louis, Missouri. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
The special note for most black people that make it is that we have little to no support. If we do get any support it's usually from strangers not family. This adds to the complexity of this because ain't no hugs or pats on the back in our homes...
Self-made for any millionaire much less billionaire is a huge misnomer.
I'm favoured, $27K every week! I can now give back to the locals in my community and also support God's work and the church. God bless America.
You're correct!! I make a lot of money without relying on the government.
Investing in stocks and digital currencies is beneficial at this moment.
Smith paid off loans for some students and that was one of the great things he did.
I wish this was a secret 😢
Need more of this 💪🏿
Nearly impossible for Black Americans to achieve. But they did it! Even Diddy did it. Least we for get Reynold Lewis Beatrice LBO. Harvard Law grad. Unimaginable racism he faced 1980s. RIP
Mr. Lewis. My choice as the richest black person in the world (and not just the United States) if he was still alive.
One day soon I will be on the Forbes 400 list. God is good!!! ❤️🙏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🙌🏾
Tiger Woods would have been ranked higher on the list had he not been a victim of The Swirl(Joke). 😀🤣😉

Thanks for the information.
Nice for him :D
Kind of inspiring !
Beautiful to see!!!😍💯❤️
I remember when it took a net worth of $100 million to make the top list and it took $1 billion to be in the top ten. Now, if you're worth $100 million you must be a professional athlete who's riding the bench.

Saying hello from Chicago Illinois 60644____On Saturday October 5th 2024___much success and Happiness to Mr. STEWARD OF Missouri ❤
I'm glad I was introduced to forex trading and got the best teacher and mentor who helped me understand the financial market I'm grateful to Mrs Liam🙏
I am from Miami United State🇺🇸, The difference Mrs Lucy Mary Liam makes in my life is second to none it's definitely a life changing kindness. I really appreciate her effort in my life.
I invested $2,000 and the trade in one month making close to $20,000. I wonder where she got her analysis.
Seeing my broker talked on RUclips, This was exactly how I got the recommendation about her for the past years. Hit $200k today. Thank you for all the knowledge and nuggets you had thrown my way over the last months. Started with $20k in July 2024
I'm from Brazil 🇧🇷 I and two other of my friends tried her immediately we testified her performing wonders.
Her good strategies of making large amount weekly profits for her clients are totally outstanding. Investing my $1500 with doubt and withdrawing $12,300 with happiness. I ❤️ you Lucy.
Congratulations Sir! Well done! May I one day join you on the list!
✨The right choice of an investment has always been a big problem for me I know picking a wrong investment will leave a big scar in the future

Tope Awotona shouldn't be that hard to pronounce even if with a few mistakes. Your pronunciation shows zero effort in this regard
Happy that Michael is the richest black athlete, considering the impact he has had on basketball and sports.
Too bad MJ is kinda blah as a person. I look forward to the day Lebron and Steph Curry are multi-billionaires. They're better people I think.

Let this be an example, you can do anything you put your mind to, regardless of race, gender, and socioeconomic background. No excuses!
Dude is the exception to the rule not the example of it. Blacks are still underrepresented in that list by a factor of 10 at least.
Come show us how you to living this life?
All those dealing structural, economical and other issues - need to just do it, they slackers
Ehhh. While this story is inspiring, I worry that such stories just add too the “See someone succeeded from rough circumstances, so we should do NOTHING about any systemic inequalities. If you are in the hood surrounded by bad schools and crime you should do exactly as well as a trust fund kid… no excuses!” /s. We should be focused on both.
First you have to find a way to survive the cigarette smoke filled slum lord apartments so you can breath. Then avoid religions thats taking what little money you do have and the ones that tells you its wrong to go to college and help yourself to survive. Then you can start from scratch if you're not too old.
Let’s not get carried away. He did well, but he’s being celebrated because his achievement is so very rare. This is not normal or achievable for most WHITE people. So acting as if it is easily achievable for the historically mistreated, and disenfranchised is not reasonable.
Great achievements
Nice

🌹I think the retirement crisis will get even worse. A lot of people can't save because of low paying jobs, inflation, and insane rental rates. And now that home ownership is out of reach for middle class Americans, they won't have a house to retire with either

You don’t get this from just hard work.. it comes from favors and miss handling
I am happy to see Blacks doing well. but after reading the comments section. no one spoke on development for the Black community. The next Generation. ofThe African American community. We Provide no opportunity for the next generation. and yes they do old the struggle. Because they have benefited from the Black struggle. People gave their life. so you could live anywhere you want. if you can afford it. We’re are our school hospitals, grocery store. I believe going into the future without our own. Will be detrimental.
Trust me our Renaissance is close in Range

Love it love it love it
America is still a terrible country for blacks, with the highest rates of children killed by gun violence, highest rates of gun violence, homelessness, high school dropouts, obesity, etc in the developed world... In fact most of the successful blacks in America are first generation immigrants. Poor to middle class Black Americans would do themselves a huge favor moving to countries with high upward mobility, better healthcare, and lower crime rates like Canada, Spain, England, Kenya, Ghana, Japan etc. These countries have way more successful blacks compared to America but more importantly less bad outcomes statistically.

I Actually Admire it But Where are other Black Businessman
Excellent video but Success depends on the actions or steps you take to achieve it. Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Financial management is a crucial topic that most tend to shy away from, and ends up haunting them in the near future.., I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life!!

Cloud computing is also honest business, unlike private equity and whatever Palantir's doing
90% of the black billionaires are celebrities or sports stars. Don't know if this says something about the country we live in or something about us needing to step up our game or both.
get it how you live it, it really doesn't matter.
Says something problematic about the black community. We dont value engineering, business, or entrepreneuship as much as sports and music
we need to step up our game.
We definitely should get into other fields,but we should never denigrate our accomplishments in entertainment and sports. We excelled in what was open to us.
@@LAinLA86 we value sports & music because of the lanes we've tracked into from white supremacy. They don't even like us succeeding in those. We value and have innovated in science, business, engineering, medicine, etc. for centuries you pay attention. It's on us to encourage it more for our children than media funneling us down narrow lanes.
