Who are the richest black actresses in Hollywood? Several women on this list have not only been rewarded with great wealth for their talents, they’ve also received multiple Emmys, Academy Awards, Tonys, Golen Globes and more. But some might say it’s been a challenge for black women to get the financial recognition they deserve for their contribution to the entertainment industry. Even putting the race issue aside, women in general are often not paid as highly as their male counter parts. But that’s all changing. And these women are in some ways the trailblazers who are leveling the playing field not just for women, but for all minorities who dream of fame and fortune in Hollywood!
