In 2026, Davido is officially recognized as the richest musician in Nigeria and across the African continent. His wealth, which has seen a significant surge recently, is estimated to be between $100 million and $150 million.
Wealth Rankings & Net Worth (Early 2026)
While estimates vary by source, Davido consistently leads the "Big Three":
Davido: ~$100M – $150M
Burna Boy: ~$30M – $95M
Wizkid: ~$25M – $85M
Don Jazzy: ~$30M – $55M
Olamide: ~$10M – $40M
Why Davido is Currently Leading
Davido’s superior net worth in 2026 is attributed to a combination of his musical success and extensive external ventures:
Diversified Income: Beyond music, he has the most lucrative ambassadorial deals in Nigeria, including high-value partnerships with brands like Puma, Martell, and Stake.com.
High-Value Assets: His personal assets include a Bombardier Global 6000 private jet (valued at over $27 million) and multi-million dollar real estate in Lagos and Atlanta.
Performance Revenue: He remains one of the highest-paid African performers; for example, he reportedly received $2.7 million for a single performance at a year-end event in Lagos in late 2024.
It is worth noting that while Davido holds the highest total net worth, Burna Boy and Wizkid were reported as the highest-paid Afrobeats artists of 2025 specifically in terms of music-related revenue (streaming and touring), with Burna Boy earning approximately $17.5 million and Wizkid $17.1 million that year.
