A Nigerian woman has apparently beaten Oprah Winfrey to become the world's richest black woman according to a report by Ventures Africa, an African business magazine and news service.

Folorunsho Alakija, a 61 year-old fashion designer and oil tycoon said to be worth at least $3.3 billion, is $500 million richer than media mogul Oprah Winfrey whose wealth Forbes magazine estimated at $2.7 billion in September. Folorunsho Alakija is the founder and owner of Famfa oil, a Nigerian oil company which owns a 60% working interest in OML 127, an offshore oil field which produces 200,000 barrels of oil per day.

The complete calculation of Folorunsho Alakija’s net worth is available on http://www.ventures-africa.com. Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote also happens to be Nigerian.
