Tiffany James, the founder of ModernBlkGirl, made her $7 million primarily by investing in stocks, including Tesla and semiconductor companies. Her journey began in 2019, when she invested $10,000, with Tesla being a significant part of her portfolio. At the time, Tesla’s stock was priced between $60 and $70 per share, and her decision to invest in the company early paid off tremendously as Tesla’s stock soared in subsequent years. Additionally, she invested in long-term LEAP options (Long-Term Equity Anticipation Securities) and S&P SPDR ETFs (Exchange-Traded Funds), diversifying her investments across high-growth areas of the stock market.
Her success wasn’t just about luck; it was built on financial literacy, persistence, and an openness to learning from mentors and peers. Tiffany now uses her platform, ModernBlkGirl, to teach other women—particularly women of color—how to approach investing and build their own wealth.
