I saw dis in a blog


Nigerian entertainers are not well known to folks
with little or no interest in Africa, but on the
continent for those who value good music or
great comedy then they’ll know most of these
artistes/entertainers. But popularity doesn’t drive
home the point on who earns what. These are
Nigeria’s top 10 earning entertainers - based on
professional/performance fees and endorsement
deals - entertainers as of 2014.
Criteria used for arriving at and assessing the
earnings of these artistes are record sales,
performance fees, endorsement deals and
estimated royalties and commissions earned from
artistes signed to their record labels, but not
included is their net worth in terms of assets or
liabilities.
Don Jazzy – earned at least N480 million/$3
million
After his split with erstwhile business partner
d’banj in 2012, Don Jazzi’s strides as CEO of
Nigeria’s leading record label Mavin records has
seen him earning mega bucks from producing
massive hits for some of Nigeria’s leading acts to
earning endorsements and royalties plus a
generous cut from gigs of artistes signed under
his record label including Tiwa Savage and Dr.
Sid. In 2014 Don Jazzy earned more money that
any Nigerian entertainer and is therefore Nigeria’s
richest artiste for the year.
P-square – earned at least N460 million/$2.8
million
Known for always having sold out concerts and
albums the duo of Peter and Paul (twin brothers)
earn an astonishing $200,000 per gig when
performing outside Nigeria excluding other
expenses plus massive endorsements from some
leading companies in Nigeria. They could have
earned much more but for Ebola fears from the
global community and minor feuds among the
brothers that make up their very successful record
label – square records.
Davido – earned over N440 million/$2.7 million
Davido had another very successful year in 2014
after an equally successful 2013 but perhaps
could have made even more if he had a more
proactive management team. His efforts paid off
with a few endorsement deals but his impressive
performance fee of between N5 million and N10
million per show makes him the second highest
earning artiste based on performance fees after
P-square.
Wizkid – made at least N430 million/$2.5
million
Talented and very fashionable Ayo Ibrahim
Balogun aka Wizkid is well loved and received by
many Nigerians across diverse cultural and social
backgrounds but especially with the youth. He’s
the biggest celebrity endorsement earner
pocketing a cool N120 million for being a brand
ambassador for Pepsi, MTN and Hennessey with
at least N310 million from gigs (could have been
higher if he owned his record label).
Tiwa Savage – earned over N390 million/$2.3
million
Nigeria’s most successful female artiste of our
time is also a big earner pocketing N5 million per
show which is almost twice weekly fetched her
N290 million and endorsement deals with MTN,
Forte Oil and Pepsi which earned her at least
another N100 million. Her earnings could have
been more save that she’s signed to Mavin
records which gets a cut on every gig she
performs.
Flavour – earned over N350 million/$2.2 million
A hugely popular and successful artiste with his
own night club and bar, endorsement deals, sold
out shows he personally organizes and
performance and appearance fees makes flavor a
very rich man.
Kcee – earned over N300 million/$1.8 million
Five Star Entertainment boss is a money maker
any day. He understands showbiz like it’s what
he’s born to do relying on nothing but pure street
sense and talent of course Kcee - real name
Kingsley Okonkwo - makes money as if it’s
plucked from trees mostly from shows he
organizes himself but also from celebrity
endorsement, petroleum marketing and real
estate. He’s probably worth more than what I put
up as 2014 earnings.
Banky W – N280 million/$1.75 million
WIzkid is his biggest money making machine
although this savvy business man knows how to
turn small opportunities into big money spinners.
He earns at least 50% on every gig for all his
artistes and is a silent money maker – Nollywood
watch out for him in 2015.
Clarence Peters – earned over N270 million/$1.7
million
Quietly making millions without being noticed, too
bad our eyes caught him, Clarence owns two very
successful companies Capital Dream Pictures
(which shoots most high budget music videos for
Nigerian artistes) and Capital Hill Records (which
have Chidinma and Ill bliss signed on). Both of
these companies fetch him millions of Naira on a
monthly basis.
Tu Face – N260 million/$1.6 million
He should have made much more than this in
2014 judging from his antecedents as a music
legend from Nigeria but his latest album –
Ascension - till date is the bestselling Nigerian
album ever to be released to the international
market plus N8 million per show as performance
fee he doesn’t really need endorsement deals to
rock the top earners chart in the Nigerian
entertainment industry.
