Black creators set the trends that platforms monetise, and the shift underway is from paid post to owned audience, owned product and owned distribution.

Figures are limited to public filings, live market data and revenue published by a named source. A Black ownership percentage is shown only where a company, a filing or a certifying body has published one; everything else reads "not disclosed" rather than being estimated. Private companies file nothing public, so they carry no amount. Prices and filings are read live from a public market feed. Listed companies link out to their market reference page; every other name opens a details window. Every figure here is in US dollars; a company trading or filing in another currency is converted at the live exchange rate and marked with an asterisk.
