Real estate offers real opportunities to serve people and build wealth both now and in years to come. Some notable entrepreneurs in the real estate sector are Bidemi Amusa, Donald Leroy Bren, etc.

Food: Just like real estate, food is another basic need of life. Since we need food to survive, any business owner operating in the food and drinks industry could possibly be a millionaire.

From food vending to logistics, there are so many business options to be explored.
Beauty and self-care: This industry has produced big names such as Tara Durotoye, Oke Maduewesi, Victoria Odia, and Kylie Jenner. Beauty encompasses skin care, cosmetics, hair care, fragrances, and personal care.
