  1. People, this is not a list of the ‘Richest’. If it is, Sarkodie, Wizkid and Ice Prince won’t be anywhere near the list. This is just about endorsements.

    • @Kay Bamba,
      and how do you think wealthy entertainers make their money?
      endorsements play a huge part, do u think think Beyonce & Jay Z for instance are wealthy because of music sales smh
      Pepsi alone brings Bey 50 mill dollars and thats just one of many deals
      so endorsements reflect wealth

  2. Eyaah, see small children don bench 2baba. And wat the heck is Don Jazzy doing at number 2? Might be my country man, but gets far too much credit than he deserves. All the same, congrats to all of them for making the list.
