If there were ever three black billionaires at the top of the list, these individuals deserved it. Two men and one woman started their journeys in similar fashion. They were dead broke. They decided to use their business skills to pull them out of poverty in Newark, Delaware. The entire story about their rise to prominence enchanted some and amazed others.

The Top Five Dead or Alive as they were called utilized their acumen to gain those top positions in the business world. They knew what they were doing and they got their work done with even aplomb.

    This... well, it confused me a bit. "Two women and one woman." Why not have it as "three women?" Unless You actually mean "two men and one woman." What business skills did they have? What resources did they use to pull them out of Newark, Delaware? Without even mentioning one skill like real estate, copywriting, fashion and design, etc. it's too ambiguous and makes me wonder what value they provided to obtain and retain their value to become billionaires. "Top Five" confuses me cause I don't wonder if they recruited two more people along the way that's the same mindset as them, or if "The Top Five Dead or Alive" is another ranking company that's ranking the three Black billionaires. The way the story's laid out reminds me of one of those gurus that try to scam people by building up the hype of "If I can do it, so can You. So, let me sell You on more hype." Sure, have hype in Your story, but where's the story?
