If you have been told that music is not a profitable sphere and it is practically impossible to make money here, do not believe this point of view. In fact, the doors are always open for talented and motivated people. 10 persons from this rating are vivid proof of the fact that musicians can be famous and also very rich.

In recent years, there have been lots of musical directions and styles, original compositions, etc. Some artistes rapidly became remarkably successful and enjoy the love of the public. All this suggests that the music industry in Nigeria is in a state of dawn and is constantly changing. People who freely express their thoughts and style, become the favorites of the public.

A musician today is not just a hobby but a full-fledged profession with good income. At the end of each month, Nigerian singers and producers count the thick packs of money.

Many successful musicians carefully conceal their incomes. If in developed countries such information is more public, in Nigeria finding out the net worth of celebrities may be quite difficult.

The list below is compiled on the basis of Forbes data. In addition, we have analyzed information in the media, incomes from tours and shows, iTunes sales, approved transactions, own labels of stars or contracts with recording studios.

Until recently, the champion of all such ratings was the duo P-Square. However, after its split, the position of the celebrities changed somewhat. We suggest you familiarize yourself with the current situation and find out who became the richest musician in 2018.
