Imagine the incredible feeling you’d have when you search on Google and see your name occupying the #1 spot on the list of top 10 richest musicians in Africa for 2023.

 

If you can find a word to describe that feeling, please share it in the comments below. I’d love to hear what it’s like.

 

Africa is blessed with abundant talent and resources, yet it is puzzling why there isn’t as much wealth as expected.

 

Out of all the musicians on the richest musician in Africa top 10 list, only Akon made it to the top 50 richest musicians in the world list.

 

Surprisingly, even Davido’s fortune isn’t enough to get him on the world’s richest musicians list. It makes you wonder, doesn’t it? Now, let’s take a look at how much cash these talented musicians currently have.

 

 
No Artists Net Worth Country
1 Akon $190 Million Senegal
2 Youssou Ndour $120 Million Senegal
3 Dj Black Coffee $60 Million South Africa
4 Davido $27 Milion Nigerian
5 Wzkid $25 Million Nigerian

7 Koffi Olomide $18 Million Dr Congo
8 Fally Ipupa $17 million Dr Congo
9 Dbanj $16.7 Million Nigerian
10 2face $16.5 Million Nigerian

 

Akon Worth $190 Million

 

Akon peaked at number 1 in the Shoutmeceleb list of top 20 richest musicians in Africa 2022.

 

while most of you may know him for doing songs with legends like Michael Jackson. and Lionel Richie, I respectively say that Lonely is the song that drew me to Akon.

 

His voice I feel sets him apart from other African richest musicians. so without further ado let’s dive into some of the details about Akon.

 

Aliaune Damala Badara Akon Thiam is an African- American singer, songwriter, record producer, entrepreneur, philanthropist, and actor.

 

Akon’s success started after the recording of locked up which is a song off his debut studio album Trouble.

Like Youssou Ndour Akon is also a Senegalese but spent his childhood growing up. In two different countries which is Senegal and the United state of America which is his place of birth.

 

Aliaune Damala is the son of a Senegal dancer and a father who is a percussionist. But he was born in St Missouri US.

 

Akon learned how to play several musical instruments including Drum, guitar, and Djembe at the age of 12.

 

The songwriter currently has 3 studio albums and several mixtapes with singles running to 100s.

 

Here is a list of his albums!

 

  • Trouble 2004

 

  • Konvict – 2006

 

  • Freedom – 2008

 

Konvicted received three nominations for the Grammy Awards in two categories.

 

Best Contemporary R&B Album for Konvicted album and Best Rap/Sung Collaboration for “Smack That” and “I Wanna Love You”

 

On billboard Hot 100 Akon is the first solo artist whose song got debuted at number 1 and 2 consecutively twice.

 

Maybe I should chalk it to being better at what you do. But do you know that Akon has more than ten songs certified as gold in digital sales?

 

But wait is not all!

 

He has hit the certified platinum on several occasions with more than 10 of his songs. Recording 1X platinum

 

What Does it Mean to Go Gold or Platinum?

 

Probably you don’t know what it means “Going Gold or Platinum” so let me explain that easily.

 

You know the way in science there is a term attributed to everything on earth right?

Top 10 richest musician in Africa 2022

Well, in the music industry, going Gold means you have sold over 500,000 copies of your songs.

 

And going platinum simply means you have doubled that sale to 1 million copies. Hope you understand now?

 

Similarly, when I said Akon has more than 10 songs on 1x platinum, I meant he has more than 10 songs. Which have sold 1 million copies.

 

2x platinum means the song has sold 2 million copies. And 3x platinum means the song has sold 3million copies.

 

Badara has 4 songs that have sold 2 million copies worldwide(2x platinum) and 3 songs which have sold over 3 million copies worldwide.

 

So how does the Senegalese American earn his living?

 

Did I tell you that Akon is the founder of 2 record labels?

 

I guess I did not!

 

One of the singer’s sources of income is through his record label Konvict Music and Konvictdistributionn.

 

When my team and I valued his worth, we found Akon’s worth to be 190 million US dollars.

 

So here are some facts to take home:

 

Real Name: Aliaune Damala Badara Akon Thiam

 

Stage Name: Akon

 

Date of Birth:  April 16, 1973

 

Record Label: Konvict Music and KonvictDistribution

 

Nationality: Senegal and United State of America

 

Sources of income: Music, Record Labels and Business

 

Net Worth: $190 Million

 

Youssou Ndour Worth $120 Million

 

If there is one man that is very much celebrated during his time at the peak of his career.

 

That man would be Youssou Ndour. I like how Wikipedia wrote it when the site said: N’Dour is one of the most celebrated African musicians in history.

 

Richest Musician in Africa 2022

His mix of traditional Senegalese mbalax with eclectic influences ranging from Cuban rumba to hip hop, jazz, and soul won him an international fan base of millions.

 

But who is he then?

 

I certainly am going to indulge you because if there is anything I love,t would be telling. Stories like my mother who once enchanted me with her storytelling ability.

 

Youssou Ndour is a Senegalese like Akon and he was born in the year 1959 on the 1st of October.

 

The interesting thing about his birth is the fact that he was born a year before Nigeria got her independence.

 

N’dour is a Senegalese singer, songwriter, and actor. One of the movies he debuted in is Amazing Grace, a movie centered on the abolishment of the slave trade.

 

Here is how the New York Times described him: “his voice as an “arresting tenor, a supple weapon deployed with prophetic authority”

 

He was born to a Toucouler mother and Serer father and began his career at the early age of 12.

 

Considering this post is on his net worth, I won’t touch more on his biography. But, you can learn more about him here.

So What is his source of wealth?

 

Youssou Ndour is a businessman and a politician, I don’t know about Senegal.

 

but if you are a politician in my country that’s a huge criterion to be a millionaire.

 

don’t take my word for it lolz!

 

Occasionally he acts in movies and gets paid too. The fact that he is a composer means that he also gets paid writing songs for others.

 

In the movie Amazing Grace he is the musician behind the soundtrack of the film

 

Here is take home from this:

David is currently 29 years and he was born in the early 90s Precisely 1992.

But would you agree with me on this?

 

Honestly, you really don’t have to but here is what I think.

 

There’s no difference between the man who is Rich and the one that is poor…

 

The only difference I have seen while meeting with several young people like myself is the fact that we want to be rich but not ready to put in the work.

 

Wizkid isn’t one of the generations that didn’t do anything and got rich overnight right!

 

I talked about that more when I wrote about Wzkid net worth and biography. in that article, I covered more about it so you should check it out too.

As a result of his Love for music, several Stars like Tiwa Savage have risen to prominence. you can’t take that away because if you call Tiwa then know Mavin records is close by.

 

Although Mavin Queen is now signed to Universal Music Group. after she left a heart-throbbing goodbye to the record label that made her.

Don Jazzy was born in the year 1982. and he is a record producer, singer, and most recently an entrepreneur.

 

After his first record label failed while in partnership with D’banj. the singer decided to raise a new record label called Mavin records.

Koffi Olomide Worth 18 Million US Dollars

 

Another singer that I have come to love over the years is Koffi Olomide. most especially because of his impact in the music industry.

 

Plus it only makes sense if he is included as the richest musician in Africa right?

 

I still remember that Fally Ipupa and Ferre Gola are all past members of his Quartier Latin International Orchestra.

 

A group that was founded in Kinshasa DR Congo in 1986  purely to entertain Congolese and other African countries.

 

Similarly, this group also often tours Europe and other North American countries according to Wikipedia.

 

As a result of his impact on the African music industry. Koffi Olomude has earned a spot in SMCE top 20 richest singers in Africa.

 

But you might be wondering who is he, right?

and he was born in the year 1956 in Kisangani, Democratic Republic of Congo.

 

He has worked with artists like Bouro Mpela who much like Fally Ipupa. was part of the group he formed in the mid-80s.

 

The Soukous singer and producer has had Gold record much like his African brother Akon.

Fally Ipupa Worth $17 million

 

African is filled with impeccable raw talents and among such talents is Fally Ipupa.

 

I think the Congolese are a country of raw and talented musicians ranging from Papa Wemba to Koffi Olumide, Werrason, and more.

 

Ipupa was born in the year 1977 and he is a singer, songwriter, philanthropist, and dancer.

 

Before flying a solo career Fally was part of the Koffi Olomude music group Quartier Latin International Orchestra.

 

The group performs in African countries, Europe and North America before the singer decided it is time. To chase his own dream and write his name in the book of history like every other African.

he won Césaire music male artist of the gear in Paris, two Black Music Awards for Male Artist of the Year, Best clip in Benin, and Male Artist of the year in Ivory Coast.

 

The Great One is what the Congolese call him and being born in Kinshasa can mean music is engraved in your DNA.

 

The singer was signed into a universal music group and further shared the stage with the likes of 2face, Snoop Lion, Dbanj, and more.

 

So what are his sources of wealth?

 

The guitarist and dancer make his money from music and international shows. Being signed by a brand like UMG can mean more money.

 

Fally Ipupa is currently worth 17 million US dollars with more than 3 albums to his name.

 

Here is a list of his albums

 

  • Droit Chemin – 2006

Dbanj Worth $16.7 Million

 

Another singer who has amazed endlessly with his gift and talents is Oladapo Oyebanjo. At least that is his real name in contrast with his stage name D’banj.

 

Dbanj in his prime took Africa by storm and I can’t forget songs like Why Me and Suddenly which were hit tracks and by far still one of my favorites from the singer.

Dbanj Having Breakfast

Lolz!

 

I bet he can’t be featured on Soukous because we have the likes of Fally Ipupa there raking awards home.

 

Anyways Dbanj is a Nigerian singer, songwriter, entrepreneur, and TV personality of the Afro-pop genre. His early career started at Mohits records.

 

A record label that he co-owned with Don jazzy but the label later disbanded due to. a misunderstanding that arose between the two partners.

 

Oladapo Daniel Oyebanjo was born in the year 1980 and his father and mother wanted him to be a military man. However, his destiny was music and he just went for it.

 

D’banj Why Me is the song that gained prominence in Africa and the world at large.

 

If you want to find a singer that honors Fela Kuti by fusing Afrobeat and Afropop and creating a modern sound. That resonated with lots of Nigerians then that will be Dbanj.

Best Musicians in Africa
D’banj

Tongolo announced him to Nigeria as a new star and the video was paid for by the mother. But why Me and Oliver Twist sealed and put him on a pedestal of best musicians in Nigeria.
