They’re entertainers, media moguls, elite athletes, music artists, tech tycoons, and investors.

Stacker compiled a list of the 11 richest Black billionaires, using Dec. 5, 2025 data from Forbes. Individuals were ranked by their overall wealth ranking, with the richest person taking the #1 spot.

America’s Black billionaires represent an array of industries and business ventures; however, over half of those on this list made the bulk of their wealth in the sports or entertainment industries. The people on this list are worth $54.9 billion combined, which is a lot of money—but that’s just about a ninth of the net worth of America’s richest person, Elon Musk, at an estimated $496.7 billion.

The United States is home to the most billionaires of any country represented on Forbes’ Real-Time Billionaires List. Of the 1,000 wealthiest people in the world in 2025, only three are Black Americans. This wealth gap results from long-standing practices in the United States that denied Black Americans the ability to accumulate wealth while their labor often contributed to the wealth of white Americans. This dates back to slavery and continued with discriminatory practices in the housing and labor markets that have never been fully redressed.

Despite these barriers, America’s Black billionaires have risen to the top tiers of financial success.

The Trump administration’s deployments of federal agents and National Guard troops to cities across the country, in the name of reducing crime, are having the opposite effect, according to local leaders — eroding the trust required for them to police effectively, making it harder for them to prosecute violent crimes, and leaving residents feeling less safe, The Marshall Project reports.

These concerns are noted repeatedly in interviews with policing experts and community members, and in lawsuits challenging troop deployments in several American cities, including Los Angeles, Washington D.C., Chicago, and Memphis, Tennessee.

In Chicago, ICE agents began using increasingly aggressive tactics in September during what President Donald Trump dubbed “Operation Midway Blitz.” It was a response, ICE said, to crimes committed by migrants in Illinois without documentation. The scenes have been dramatic by design: an overnight raid on an apartment building, with Blackhawk helicopters and U.S. citizens dragged into the street in zip-ties. The tactics have resulted in at least one death: In September, an immigration agent shot and killed 38-year-old Silverio Villegas González while attempting to pull him over and arrest him.

Locals in Chicago have turned out in force to protest, leading to daily demonstrations at an ICE processing center outside Chicago and elsewhere throughout the city. In response, Trump sent 500 National Guard soldiers to the area, but a judge blocked their deployment to the city.

Nevertheless, the presence of immigration agents in the city — with their military-style uniforms and tactics — has made it harder, prosecutors argue in a federal lawsuit, to pursue cases against people accused of violent crimes in Chicago.

In one case, the wife of a man who had been murdered did not want to come to court to testify for fear of being arrested by Homeland Security agents. Her fear of arrest “makes it more likely that her husband’s murderers will go free and justice will be denied,” wrote Jose Villarreal, a prosecutor with the Cook County State’s Attorney’s office, in court documents.

Villarreal listed a wide array of crimes that his office can no longer prosecute because of ICE’s presence in the city: children who are victims of sexual assault, whose mothers fear that bringing them to court m

Bringing home a new puppy is one of life’s greatest joys—but it also comes with a long list of questions. Right at the top? How much should I feed my puppy? Whether you’re a first-time dog parent or just need a refresher, figuring out the right amount of food can feel overwhelming.

Puppies grow fast—sometimes doubling or tripling their weight in just a few months. And just like human babies, they need the right fuel to develop strong bones, healthy muscles, and a resilient immune system. Feeding too little can lead to stunted growth or nutrient deficiencies. Feeding too much? That puts your pup at risk of obesity and long-term health issues.

In this comprehensive puppy feeding guide, Spot & Tango breaks down:

• Exactly how much to feed a puppy at different ages,
• How breed size and activity level affect food portions,
• The best types of food for growing pups,
• And expert tips for building a feeding schedule that works for both of you.

Learn how to set your puppy up for a lifetime of health—one bowl at a time.

Why Puppy Nutrition Matters

According to the American College of Veterinary Nutrition (ACVN), the first 12 months of a dog’s life are critical for developing a strong skeletal structure, healthy organs, and brain function. “Puppies aren’t just smaller versions of adult dogs—they have unique nutritional needs that change rapidly as they grow,” says Dr. Emily Wilson, a board-certified veterinary nutritionist.

Here’s why proper nutrition matters so much during this early stage:

• Bone and joint development: Puppies require more calcium and phosphorus than adult dogs, but in carefully balanced ratios. Too much can lead to skeletal issues, especially in large breeds.
• Cognitive development: DHA, an omega-3 fatty acid found in quality puppy foods, supports brain and vision development.
• Immune support: Antioxidants, vitamins A, C, and E, and zinc help strengthen a young pup’s immune system during vaccinations and exposure to new environments.
• Energy needs: Puppies have higher metabolic rates than adult dogs, burning through calories faster—even when they’re just napping after a wild play session.

Did You Know?

Puppies need up to twice the daily calories per pound of body weight compared to adult dogs. That means feeding schedules and portion sizes should reflect their stage of rapid growth.

By choosing a well-balanced, whole-food diet tailored to your puppy’s specific needs, you’re giving them more than just food. You’re giving them a foundation for lifelong health.

How Much to Feed a Puppy Based on Age

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer to how much to feed puppies—it depends on their age, breed, weight, and energy levels. However, we can break it down by life stage to give you a clear roadmap for the first year.
