How Cathy Hughes Stays on Top of the Entertainment Industry

One of the nation's wealthiest black, female entrepreneurs shares her secrets to success
by Safon Floyd Posted: February 5, 2017


With a reported net worth of $460 million, Cathy Hughes, the second wealthiest African American woman in the nation, has made a resounding impact on black media having pioneered Radio One, a BE 100s company and one the of the most successful and lucrative black-owned media companies to date.

If you’ve listened to The Quiet Storm on the radio, watched your favorite shows on TV One, or perused an Interactive One digital outlet, you’ve experienced Hughes media influence.

A gifted trendsetter, she has thrived for more than 30 years in an ever-changing often directionless industry, yet she still hesitates to be called a success.

Adding to her list of accomplishments, the media mogul was recently honored by Howard University with the renaming of the school of communications to the Cathy Hughes School of Communications.
