CNBC's "NEWBOs: The Rise of America's New Black Overclass," is an original one-hour primetime documentary about the growing wave of young black multimillionaires coming out of the sports, media and entertainment industries. This project examines the rise of "Newbos," -- young black athletes, entertainers, and creative entrepreneurs – who, with the right amount of financial literacy, collaboration, intergenerational mentorship and social awareness, could have a profound, positive impact on black America.
There are more black multimillionaires and potential billionaires in the United States than ever before, and a startling new black overclass has emerged out of these three industries, generating billions of dollars of income per year.
Newbos exposes and chronicles the experiences and insights of these men and women as they move from relative poverty to fantastic wealth at a very young age. Hawkins examines how the Newbos' unconventional paths to success have become blueprints for broader independence and entrepreneurship, and how this segment of black society has a disproportionately heavy influence over millions.

Just don't ask those pro-sports players to read a book out loud before cameras. It would show just how much of their college and high school years were actually spent in a classroom.

Dude please stop being a hater. Lebron James is the best marketing young man in the united states. Went straight from highschool to the pro's.
I watching it now. I didn't know that Kirk franklin is the highest seller of gospel music ever with over 14 million copies.
I also see Bob Johnson sold BET for 3 billion dollars to viacom.

Am I the only one that knows that most of them went to college?
I've known a few pro-sports players. Some came from my high school. Most teachers knew not to call on them to read. Heard them try to read. I've heard first graders read better than them. Some pro-sports players did earn their degree but there are many who to this day can barely read or write.
You don't need a degree to be able to read and write...I would hope you'd have had the highest level of reading and writing wrapped up by middle school...
Black people are incredibly talented, supremely versatile, have a wide range, are dignified, dynamic, and super intelligent people. Stands to reason that a race that endured slavery will certainly rise to the top in due time.
No surprise here.
