Top 10 Hottest Bookeristas: Male

Who are the hottest moderate, moderate-conservative, moderate-liberal, libertarian, and conservative men of black African descent? Well, the readers of Booker Rising have spoken!

1. Adam Afriyie, 47 - 2011 HOTTEST BOOKERISTA MALE 
THREE-PEAT WINNER
Conservative Party parliamentarian & entrepreneur | British Parliament
Birthplace: Wimbledon, England | Nationality: British | Residence: Windsor, England
Position on 2011 list: 1



Hotness factor: This brotha has won the contest three years in a row. I might have to create a "Hottest Bookerista All-Stars" or something so someone else has a chance to win LOL. Handsome looks, has created massive wealth through his own ideas, smokin' physique, and has political power. No wonder Booker Rising readers continue to give MP Afriyie the most votes. The son of a Ghanaian father and British mother, MP Afriyie is the UK's first elected black conservative parliamentarian. MP Afriyie, who is married, has won "Hottest Male Parliamentarian" contests in the past in Britain.

However, there's more to him than just good looks. A graduate of London University, MP Afriyie is also a tech entrepreneur worth US$75 million-$150 million. He founded Connect Support Services, an information technology company that provides services to small- and medium-sized businesses. In 2003, he was a regional finalist in Ernst and Young's Entrepreneur Of The Year awards. Some folks in Britain say that he could perhaps one day be Britain's first black prime minister. In his spare time, he enjoys distance running for charity and is a fitness buff.
