To get a clear insight into who the richer person is, it would be fair to compare their net worth, brand ambassadorships, cars, and houses. Let us have a look at Davido’s net worth before proceeding to check Whizkid’s net worth.
Davido net worth
He is not only a Musician but also the son of one of Nigeria’s richest men – Dr. Adedeji Adeleke. But, Davido became a household name as a Musician in 2011 when he released his first single called Back When. Since 2011, he has become a force to reckon with in the Nigerian entertainment scene.
According to Forbes Magazine, Davido has an estimated net worth of $90 million. His riches over the years have been acquired mostly from his time as a Musician, and even on his YouTube page, he has over 663 million views of his videos.
Apart from his music deals, he is a brand ambassador for Nigerian brands like Close Up, MTN, Infinix, and other Nigerian and foreign brands. For his musical performances and shows, he charges about N10 million – N40 million for Nigerian shows. For shows abroad, he charges about $100,000 – $200,000 per show
In addition to his estimated net worth, Davido has a number of luxury cars to his name like; Toyota Land Cruiser, Rolls Royce Phantom, Mercedes Benz Sedan AMG series, Lamborghini Uru, Bentley Bentayga, Chevrolet Camaro GS, Porsche Carrera, Range Rover, and a new Lamborghini Huracan, etc.
He owns three mansions home and abroad, in Lekki and Banana Island, Lagos worth N140 million, and the other in Atlanta, USA.
Wizkid net worth
According to some reports in Nigeria, Wizkid has the largest fan club but can a celebrity’s fan club be measured by social media shenanigans?
Wizkid started singing as a choir member when he was a teenager, and since then his passion to pursue his music career has not dwindled. Wizkid has an estimated net worth of 70 million dollars, and he is not backing down.
He is a brand ambassador to many Nigerian and International brands.
He signed some endorsement deals for Telecommunication companies like MTN and Glo networks, which secured him N120 million in the bag. He is also a brand ambassador for Pepsi alongside celebrities like Tiwa Savage, Dj Cuppy, Burna Boy, Alex Iwobi, and others, he earned $350,000. In 2019, he also became a brand ambassador for one of Africa’s finest banks, the United Bank of Africa. For international brands, he has an endorsement deal with Sony, Ciroc, Nike, Dolce, and Gabanna.
In 2018, he walked alongside Naomi Campbell at a fashion show in Milan and he was reportedly paid $20,000 by Dolce and Gabanna. For Nike, he posed in a tracksuit created for the Nigerian Super Eagles official Jersey which was used at the 2018 world cup in Russia and this deal was worth $3.75 million.
Wizkid charges more than N10 million for a show in Nigeria. He has a house worth N13 million in Surulere, Lagos, and another house in Lekki, Lagos worth N68 million. He reportedly has a house located in Los Angeles also. Some of the cars he owns are Porsche Panamera, Hyundai Sonata, A Bentley, A Lamborghini Prime, and many other luxury cars.
From the calculated net worth presented in this article, it would be right to say that Wizkid is richer, but you cannot say who is actually richer in reality. The two young men though in the same industry perform at several shows, release different songs and have their own personal businesses. It is impossible to say for a fact who the richer person is because as the year goes on, one may surpass the other at shows, and vice versa. For now, they are inspirations to many youths looking to carve a niche in the entertainment industry.
For this year Wizkid is $2 million richer than Davido.
According to Forbes Magazine, Davido has an estimated net worth of $90 million.
As per Carmart’s richest musicians list, Davido is the richest and highest-paid artist in Nigeria with an estimated net worth of $90 Million, whereas Wizkid’s net worth is estimated at $70 Million as of 2023.
Wizkid has an estimated net worth of 70 million dollars, and he is not backing down.

The rise of Wizkid from poor background to global stardom is nothing compared to Davido who had silver spoon but also chose to work hard.
Two of them are good in what they do. As for wealth, it’s relative oh. But wizkid has more endorsements than Davido if you are to rate it like that.

If you read this article well you will agree with me that There is nothing like coming from a poor background… Davido despite his fathers riches made his name for himself… he could have ventured into anything, if you judge it from family background.Remember there are other Artists in the industry from rich families yet they are nothing to be compared with…no shades and I don’t want to mention names.so please next time align your facts in a coherent manner. Thanks 😊

Well I go with Wizkid. Wizkid is richer than Davido. Davido was raised in a wealthy family which shows his money are from his parents. Wizkid is the main Gee. My thoughts though
Both of them are the richest , but God as you bless this people bless me also ijn amen.
As for me I’m absolutely choosing the two of them because it ain’t no easy to be a man. Wizkid and davido are doing great I like their music, no one is richer than the other they are all good in their performance, keep on the good work my brother’s I really appreciate it, God will continue to bless two of you in the future so that you will still remember me.
