Billionaires possess unthinkable quantities of wealth that empower them to influence the world we live in from the economy, to politics, our media and more.

This affluent group of people are highly elite and a lot of them are founders of major technology giants or other corporations that we rely on regularly in our daily lives

The Hurun Global Rich List 2023 showed that 70% of the billionaires are self-made and only 30% are legacy.

Of the 3,311 billionaires in the world in 2021, only 12.9 percent were women, meaning that there were 430 billionaires worldwide. Whereas male billionaires tend to be self-made, 45 percent of the female billionaires in 2020 had inherited their fortune.

Ironically with the trending news of PSG player Hakimi and his fantastic divorce settlement, we understudy how Men vs Women made their billions on the Forbes top ten list

Gender equality na scam.
What a man can do,another man can do better.

As a man, u loose guard too much you loose ur hard work, as u dey fall in love dey carry ur brain along, if she don dey say u don’t need prenup Na Red flag be that dem no dey tell blind man se rain dey fall

Cc: Seun , Nlfpmod, Mynd44

Who ever fail to learn to learn from hakimi may end up as eboue, the choices are there’s

I no get advise to give men forming Wike and modern, women are not equal to men, it’s fine to establish her as your wife but never loose guards your wealth for her, she will drain you and still go follow another man

We women are thieves.

It is insecurity and complex that make some women claim equality with men, in reality, no woman will be equal to a man under the same conditions, nature was skewed against women and nobody, law or medical operation can change that. A man that trans-gendered to a woman has only removed his physical sex organs, the internal structure remains the same as is still far ahead of females.

Get your facts right. Majority of the men you mentioned also inherited their fortunes from their families and built on them. Elon Musk is an example. And what's wrong if the women inherited their wealth? Haven't you read about men that inherited fortunes and lost everything? That the women have been able to sustain their inherited fortunes is a feat by itself.

Non of the men on my list inherited their wealth from anyone

If you understand what self made means.

Just like Davido Music group was selfmade and different from his father's Pacific group

Ellon Musk got his money from tech mostly PayPal and not his parents mining fortune

And no where in my post did I mention it is wrong to inherit

Majority of women are gold diggers and opportunist

I guess Elon Musk used stones to set up Paypal. And did Davido tell you that he didn't use part of his inheritance to set up his music group? The men you mentioned only built on what they already inherited. Go and get your facts right and stop writing trash just to be on front page.

Wonder why you are so emotional

PayPal was written web program and doesn't require "inheritance"

Davido's song Ema Dami duro that blew him to stardom required his talent not investment from his father, even in his latest interview he said his father opposed his music and sent police to arrest him in shows

It's just an interesting post please keep your negativity out of these space

At the bolded, you clearly have no idea what it entails to set up a tech business.

This is a very childish comparison. You are comparing the strength of men with the weakness of women.

Men have always been sole providers for women, as fathers, husbands, sons and brothers. So, men have always been self-made.
Men have always been economically independent and women economically dependent. Our men are our cover, providers and protectors. It is only in modern times (last 200 years) women are learning and striving to become financially independent and have their own money. Home/family care has always been the strength of women.

I'm beginning to see that a lot of young modern men are confused. You shame women for not being substantial financial contributors in the home. You will still shame women for abandoning the home to source for their own money.

You belittle women who are not rich or self-made, yet you see the ones richer than you as threat to your masculinity.

I'm looking forward to seeing you compare the strength of women to the weakness of men

You guys keep pushing women down the path of masculinity and will still complain there are fewer feminine women/home makers.

You can't blame the op

Rather, you should blame the insane men pushing the propaganda that men and women are equal. No, men and women aren't equal and it didn't mean that men are greater or women are greater but just that we have different roles to play.

Men are providers as you stated. Isn't it out of line that women are now made to compete with men before they can be termed "successful"?

Men are naturally endowed with the ability to manipulate objects, ambitions and situations, solve problems and earn as a result. A man without a purpose or something that wakes him up everyday is incomplete.

Can women be seen as that? Women have roles to play that are different from that of men. If you love your career, pursue it. But it shouldn't be with the goal of being better than a man. Just stay on your lane and do what you're created to do.

At times, I wonder why Marie Curie didn't have time to fight for equality. Yet, she's not just the only person to have the Nobel in two different fields, but she also raised daughter who won the Nobel.

Then look at women now, especially those ones fighting for equality and ask them what problem they have solved for humanity.
