I’l be very honest with you, there really is not clear cut way to determine who is the richest musicians in Nigeria. However, being in the industry, people have a general idea of who is the most booked, how much they charge, their brand endorsement and ambassadorships, the side-businesses they have etc. This helps you have a fairly good general idea of who has what and who should make the list.
This is the list of the top ten richest musicians in Nigerians in an ascending order
10. Timaya:
Timaya is a hard-worker who is not backing down. The plantain boy rakes in money from brand-endorsements and world-wide tours.

This hard-working baddo, churns out hits on a regular. He is the brain behind YBNL and like Don Jazzy is getting huge returns from his investment in the artistes he signed on.

The Omo Baba Olowo is fast becoming an olowo himself. From international tours to brand endorsements, Davido has quickly climbed the income ladder to being number 5 of the list.
4. Dbanj:

The Mavin boss who sings and produces is number 3 on the list. His sources of income span from his investments in the team members and several other businesses which churn in money on a regular basis.
