12. KCee – $4.91m
Currently making serious waves in the Nigerian music scene, KCee, formerly a member of the KCPresh, is one of the most fortunate guys in the industry.
He picked the right beat at the right time, and the rest has become history, especially with his songs‘Limpopo’ and ‘Pull Over’, which are currently on 14.5 million views collectively on youtube.
KCee’s net worth is – $4.91m
11. M.I – $4.94m
Regarded as the most successful rap artiste ever in Africa, M.I has built a reputation that will be too difficult for anyone to surmount. He is among the major stakeholders in Chocolate City records and is credited with the rise to fame of Ice Prince Zamani.
For the sake of the record label and the stars that came through it, we are placing MI at number 11 on this list. His current net worth is – $4.94m
10. Timaya – $5.5m
Timaya’s vocal power is one of the strongest in the industry. He is one of the best and probably the most successful music star ever come out of the Niger Delta area.
Far more successful than Daniel Wilson and others. He is truly the ‘Egberi Papa 1 of Bayelsa’. One of his hit tracks, ‘Sanko’, is about to hit 2 million views while his biggest hit ‘Bum Bum’ featuring Sean Paul, has already grossed over 16 million views on youtube. Timaya’s net worth is $5.5m
09. Banky W – $9.0m
Two best music videos ever done in Nigeria to his credit (Lagos party and Wizkid’s holla at your boy) and a serious record label of his own, Banky W is surely a force to reckon with in Nigeria’s music industry.
From Etisalat to Samsung, he has the knack to land juicy endorsement deals anytime. Started with a copycat of Rihanna’s song, he graduated to becoming an international superstar, doing original songs and winning awards. Banky’s net worth is $9.0m
08. Wizkid – $11.5m
From a backup artiste to Banky W to becoming a superstar, Wizkid has been transformed into international star by just one music video, ‘Holla at your Boy’. That video created the defining moment in his career.
Widely regarded as the Justin Bieber of Nigeria, Wizkid is one of the stars in the industry that many upcoming artistes look up to. What he lacks in vocal talent, he makes up in personality appeal, Wizkid’s net worth is $11.5m
07. Iyanya – $12.5m
From a hungry project fame ex-winner to an international famous superstar within the space of three years; that sums up the story of Iyanya.
He has shown that if you want to be successful in Nigeria, give people what they want and you will be blessed with wealth.
Iyanya’s hit song, ‘Kukere’, complete with it’s one unique dance steps, currently has more than 15 million views on youtube. His net worth is $12.5m
06. Davido – $14.5m
What he lacks in physical appeal, he makes up with great vocal talent, perhaps the twisted version of Wizkid.
Davido’s two songs ‘Aye’ and ‘Gobe’ are currently having 15 million and 11 million views respectively on youtube. Son of a politician and business man, the self-styled ‘Omo Baba Olowo’ is worth $14.5m
