5.Salif KeitaLet 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 August25 1949. Very humble with his wealth, he is a direct descendant of the creator of theMali empire “Sundiata Keita”. Which kind of meant he should never have been allowed to become a singer. But when youhear 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 OlomideAntoinne Cristophe Agbepa also known as Koffi Olomide was born July 13 1956 in DRCongo. 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 SquareThis 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’DourBorn October 1st 1959, Youssou N’Dour isa 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.
