February 04, (THEWILL) – Forbes magazine has named Nigerian-born Tope Awotana as the richest immigrant and Nigerian-American residing in the United States. Like many businessmen, the road to success was not smooth at the beginning for Awotona. He immigrated to the United States as a teenager after watching his dad get shot and killed by a criminal who stole their car. Before founding Calendly, Awotona had started a few other businesses, including one that sold projectors and another that sold garden tools, which flopped. He put all his savings into it, quit his job and started Calendly.
