#11: Louis Farrakhan
$3 Million Fortune
Born Louis Eugene Walcott in the Bronx in 1933, he underwent a transformation upon embracing Islam in 1955, adopting the name Louis Farrakhan. Rising to prominence as the leader of the Nation of Islam, Farrakhan’s outspoken views have stirred controversy.

With some labeling his ideology as black supremacist and facing criticism for alleged antisemitism. Granted his views do not speak for the majority, Farrakhan’s fortune is estimated at $3 million.
