9. Banky W Olubankole Wellignton that HEAD of EME, also
sometimes referred to as the King of African
RnB. He grew up Lagos and started singing in
church at a really young age. The man has
been brand ambassador for etisalat and is
currently the face Samsung Mobile products in the entire West Africa. Signing artistes like

number 9 on this list.


8. Hugh Masekela Born April 4 1939, Hugh Masekela is a South
African composer, singer & trumpeter. He is by
far the most talented jazz performer in Africa
(Yemisax do you understand?) Hugh Masekela
has been nominated for a Grammy in the best
contemporary Pop performance category. He makes st*pid money on invitation to festivals
and albums across the world.]


7. 2Face Idibia From grass to grace. African queen was the
song that got the ball rolling for this man. ever
since then he has been unstoppable. Born in
Jos, Plateau state, Innocent Idibia makes
around 80,000 USD per show. That is all you
need to know really.


6. Fally Ipupa Fally Ipupa is from the Democratic Republic of
Congo, started the early days of his career
working on Koffi Olomide’s band. Before he
later started his own solo career and later
becoming on of Africa’s biggest acts. If you
don’t know who Fally Ipupa is then… I really don’t know what to say to you.


5. Salif Keita Let me just begin by saying Salif Keita is an
incredible talent, his music is unbelievable even
though I don’t understand 80% of it most time
I try to Google out the lyrics and translate.
Proud citizen of Mali, Salif keita was born
August 25 1949. Very humble with his wealth, he is a direct descendant of the creator of the
Mali empire “Sundiata Keita”. Which kind of
meant he should never have been allowed to
become a singer. But when you hear the
“Golden voice of Africa” sing you just have to
be thankful he became a singer. He owns a private island in France.


4. Koffi Olomide Antoinne Cristophe Agbepa also known as
Koffi Olomide was born July 13 1956 in DR
Congo. Has up to 7 albums already and
charges abut 100,000 euros per show. Straight
up walking bag of money this man.


3. D’banj No surprises here, well deserved success from
the Koko Master, what he lacks in talent he
makes up for with hardwork and
entertainment. From Mohits to Good Music to
DB records. D’banj is easily the most successful
Nigerian act till date. D’banj counts his millions in the dollars. Earning upwards of 100,000 USD
per show.


2. P Square This twins are like walking money, can you
“taste the money?” Pun intended. They both
live in square villa, estimated to be worth well
over 3 million dollars…. Inside lagos ooo. They
have deals with Akon’s Konvict music and
Universal. Earning well over 150,000 USD per show they are the second richest on our list.


1. Youssou N’Dour Born October 1st 1959, Youssou N’Dour is a
Senegalese singer, composer, business man &
politician. Recently appointed as the Tourism
and Culture minister by the new prime minister
Abdoul Mbaye, Youssou has remarkable
investments in real estate, owns radio and TV stations. The Senegalese will describe him as
“perhaps the most famous singer alive”..
Unfortunately he is not so famous around this
parts (Correct me if I’m wrong). Safe to say most of his wealth did’t come from
actual music yes? But still he’s our number 1. Do you Agree with this List? Drop your Comment
