You will excuse me if I don't go on Wiki every day. i have bills that need to be paid. I read it in an article in Fortune magazine awhile back. I have the issue, all I need is to find it and post it up. When I have the time, that's what I'll do.
As I have stated many times, I posted that figure ($2.5 billion) along with the doubts that come with that number. And even the ones that have refences are still changed!
- You need to give a source for the $2.5 billion figure, otherwise anyone can just make up any number for anyone. Forbes does not believe he is a billionaire at all, so if you wish to claim another reliable source states he has $2.5 billion, you have to provide a link to the source. It's not useful to add information with no source because a lot of students of African American business use this article to get reliable information and we don't want to mislead people or provide information of a low quality.

- Now I did add a source from Forbes saying some had estimated him at $1.5 billion but Forbes disagrees, and I also cited the Washington Post claiming that if he had $1.5 billion he would have been the richest African American as of 2002, but I can't find any source ever estimating him at $2.5 billion or claiming that he would have been the richest African American ever.

No problem. The article looks a lot cleaner now. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 02:49, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
