Fortunes are built over time
Owning islands and big time banks requires access to capital, which is something that a few of us (people like Oprah Winfrey, Michael Jordan, Robert Johnson, et al) are just starting to get.
Remember, we've only had civil rights for the past 50 years or so (I date the beginning of the movement to Rosa Parks). Fifty years of civil rights can't really undo BS like slavery and its aftereffects that date back to the 1600s. Whole populations don't go in lockstep from poverty to affluence.
