D'banj, they said, made $1 million dollars when he was paid by a TV station to star on his own reality show called the Koko Mansion.

His Atlanta crib was estimated to worth $1.5 million and he reportedly charges on the upside of $100000 per show currently.

Tuface, who just recently painted the city of Dubai red with his exquisite and exclusive wedding, reportedly has a vast investment in real estate across Nigeria, earns around $50k to $80k per show and owns a night club in Nigeria just to name a few.

For Banky W, Answers Africa wrote: "His talent in music has made him one of the richest African musicians. He has been a brand ambassador for Estisalat mobile in Nigeria and is currently the face for Samsung products in the west African nation.

Out of his generous heart, Banky W has started off Mr capable foundation; an education charity organisation with the aim to aid in the education of children from poor families."
