Top 20 Richest Musicians In Nigeria And
Their Net Worth
Who are
the richest musicians in Nigeria? Music has been paying heavily in Nigeria for
the past ten years. No wonder average Nigerian youths sees music as one of the
the quick means to wealth and fame.
Why
not! When a good number of artistes have risen from nothing to something over
the years, enjoying wealth that can only be imagined by their peers.
The
question is Who is the richest among these musicians and how much are they
worth? Before you read, I want you to have these in mind:-
1. Net
Worth does not necessarily mean the amount of money you have in the bank. It is
how much you are worth as an asset base on your works, your achievements,
investments, and popularity. So, when we talk about richest musicians in
Nigeria and their net worth, some of the artistes mentioned may not have the
said amount of money in the bank.
2.
Album/music sells is not the only means musicians make money. They make much
more money from – YouTube partnership, Loyalties, ringtones, concerts,
sponsorships, endorsements, and appearances.
These
were factored into this rating to come up with this robust, time tested ranking
of richest musicians in Nigeria. The best and most accurate you can find
anywhere on the internet.
3. This
list is dynamic – it changes from time to time. Someone who is on this ranking
today may not be here tomorrow.
4. If
you have an objection, state it in a civil manner, utilizing the comment system
below.
Here I
present to you the top 20 richest musicians in Nigeria and their estimated net
worth.
Like I
said before, this list is the most detailed and most accurate you can find
