[b]10 Richest African Musician 2014 (You Need To See This)
We see lists of richest Nigerian acts everywhere, so we decided to take it a step futher and educate 10.Jose Chameleone
Stage name Joe Chameleone,he is a popular raggae musician from Uganda and he started his career at a very young age in the early 90′s. He is regarded as the act who redefined local Ugandan music in the wake of the 21st century and is also the biggest money maker in East Africa.

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 Wizkid couldn’t have hurt making his way to 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 stupid 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.
