Who will be next? Possibilities include P. Diddy, Jay-Z, Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, and Mariah Carey. Here's hoping that an African-American in an industry outside entertainment and sports also rockets to billionaire status someday soon. According to Wikipedia (which pulled the information from Forbes), there are 492 billionaires in the U.S.
