2026 Inaugural Class · Nominations Close Soon!

The Melanin Money 100

The people closing the wealth gap deserve to be named…
About the MM100

Some lists celebrate fame. 

This one celebrates receipts.

Until now, there has been nothing - no award, no list, no stage - for the people who built without a blueprint, without a safety net, without a head start. The first-gen wealth builders who figured it out anyway, brought others with them, and spend every day doing the real work of closing the wealth gap.

That's who the MM100 exists to name.

The MM100 is presented by Melanin Money - a financial education & wealth-building community on a mission to close the racial wealth gap by $100 billion. 

This is not a popularity contest. Every name on the list is hand-selected by the Board of Trustees based on demonstrated impact, achievement, and community influence. The strongest 100 make the list - no exceptions.

How Selection Works

Earned, not given

The MM100 uses a two-track model — public nominations from the community, plus a
dedicated Selection Council that proactively identifies leaders across every category.
Every name is evaluated against the same standard.
