Forbes has released its list of the world’s wealthiest women for 2022, and unfortunately, none of them are black.

Forbes has revealed its list of the world's 10 wealthiest women, and none of the ladies on the list are African-American.

Certainly, there has been a lot of attention paid to Black women who have become billionaires – who can forget the excitement around Rihanna's debut on the Forbes Billionaire List thanks to the success of her Savage x Fenty line?

However, this pales in comparison to the billions of dollars earned by the world's wealthiest women, according to Forbes. For example, first-place finisher Francoise Bettencourt Meyers is worth over $74 billion, while second-place finisher Alice Walton (of Walmart fame) is worth over $65 billion.

Furthermore, while many Black women are self-made millionaires (and billionaires), many of the world's wealthiest women come from family fortunes or were given their fortunes.

When her casino magnate husband, Sheldon Adelson, died, Miriam Adelson (No. 7) inherited his $27.5 billion fortune. Susanne Klatten (No. 8) inherited a $24.3 billion fortune from her parents, Johanna and Herbert Quant, who saved BMW from bankruptcy in the 1950s. She also invested in a pharmaceutical company called Altana, ensuring that the family's riches would be passed down through the generations.

So, what's the deal with this discrepancy?
