Recently I was on a Facebook group where my target audience hangs out. and someone asked the question below like;
Who is the richest musician in Nigeria?
The richest Nigerian musician 2022 is Wizkid I said in a reply to his question that Davido is the wealthiest in 2022.
Again I said yeah, but that’s like Forbes’s top 10 richest musicians in Nigeria 2022. I told him to check out the current list on Shoutmeceleb Entertainment.
He came back and said I love the layout of your blog. It’s nice.
To which of course I replied, thank you.
David, in my opinion, is quite the inspiration to this younger generation.
When one of my audience Clem visited my site and read about the top 10 richest artists in Nigeria. His only wish was that he wants to be richer than Davido and Wizkid put together.
David is the son of a multi-billionaire Lagosian businessman, His father owns Pacific holdings.
The 27 years old dropped out of school to start recording songs until his father convinced him. to come back to Nigeria which he did to further his education at Babcock University.
There, the son of Adedeji Adeleke graduated with a degree in music.
He was the Co-founder of HKN, a record label with which he started his career.
Now David owns his personal business record label DMW. which is an acronym for Davido Music Worldwide.
When I valued Davido cars and houses, his endorsement deals with several big companies like Infinix, his charges per show, and his record label DMW, we realize that David is worth 27 million US dollars.
Davido is worth 11 billion Naira PLUS.
I got this figure by converting his worth in US dollars to Davido net worth in Naira.
Real Name: David Adedeji Adeleke
Stage Name: Davido and OBO

My team and I valued his net worth to be 9 billion Naira after converting Wizkid net worth in dollars to Naira.
This includes Wizkid charges per show, his endorsement deals with Glo, houses, and cars.
He is currently the only Nigerian that has performed with the likes of Drake, Chris Brown, etc.
You may be wondering his age but I will save you much time thinking.
Ayo Ibrahim Balogun (Wizkid stage name) is 30 years old now.
