Their Squareville, which is located at Ikeja is worth $3 million and as part of their brand support, they also have a 3-year deal with Globacom; a Nigerian telecommunications company as brand ambassadors where they are paid a million dollars a year.
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."
