Business Insider takes a look at the lives of the children of some of the world's richest black billionaires.

Many of them have taken the same path their parents took, such as being an athlete or running an oil company.

One of the most famous black billionaires around is Michael Jordan. He is considered one of the greatest basketball players of all time.

With an estimated net worth of $1.65 billion, Jordan is also one of the richest African Americans.

Jordan has five children, including a twin boy and girl. The twins came to his life in 2014.

Another famous black billionaire is 71-year-old Mohammed Ibrahim. The Sudanese-born owner of a huge telecommunications company now lives in the UK.
