Remember when Beyoncé danced to O.T. Genasis’ hit song “Everybody Mad”? She had the entire “Coachella” audience screaming the iconic line, “I been getting to the money.” Although this is on brand for the Houston, TX, native, a long history of successful Black women can say the same thing about success. This is where Sheila C. Johnson enters the chat. Johnson is the first Black woman to become a billionaire, and her journey toward that fortune is just as fascinating as it is history-making. Born in 1949 and originally from McKeesport, PA — Johnson had a father who was a prominent neurosurgeon and a mother who was an accountant, per Black Past.

I always emulated that–I’d go take trips to look for houses to purchase.” He added, “I’d say my influences really came from watching my mum.” While he’s was influenced by his mom, that doesn’t mean his success came easy.

The OG has reached a new stage in life, where him hopping on track is mostly based on the bond or relationship, as previously reported by AfroTech. “It’s mostly relationships,” he shared with Kevin Hart in a recent interview. “It’s mostly — it’s actually always been mostly relationships.
