Porsche for Wizkid, LV for Tiwa, Rolex for Yvonne, Birkin for Mercy! Are Nigerian & Ghanaian Stars TOO Boastful?

Believe it or not, there is no business like Showbiz!

We love our Nigerian superstars and how they constantly keep us entertained 365 days 24/7. Of course, through their many skills either in movies, music, TV and radio, the stars cash in some big bucks.

So if you have the money, is it okay to flaunt it?

Today we profile how some stars spend their hard earned cash!

Wizkid
Recently Star Boy Wizkid shared on Instagram, images of his newly acquired sleek Porsche Panamera S. Posing next to the sleek car with a price ranging from $75,000 to $175,000 depending on the spec, the music star said I am “Thankful”

In March, after a “boring afternoon” in South Africa, he went shopping and bought items from Nike, Lacoste and Gap.

Toke Makinwa
While in London for a short vacation in April, Nigerian media personality Toke Makinwa went shopping. She shared the below photo on Instagram asking which of these Gucci Spring/Summer 2013 Collection shoes, to buy at Selfridges. A pair retails for $ 916 on Rafaello Network

Dr Sid
With his latest singles including Talented topping charts, Mavin Records’ Dr Sid is definitely a happy man. Last week, Don Jazzy shared an image of the star’s house (currently under construction) in Lekki, Lagos. Houses and lands in Lekki sell for millions of Naira.

Tiwa Savage
Tiwa Savage is one of Nigeria’s highest paid female musicians. With her Pepsi ambassadorship, the music chanteuse can afford to buy some of the priciest things of life.

On her way to London for a video shoot and of course some shopping, Tiwa rocked a pair of black Louis Vuitton. They retail for $ 400 on Louis Vuitton

Coco Chanel once said ‘The best things in life are free. The second best are very expensive”. Well she was right!

In London, Tiwa hit the stores and bought a range of luxury items from Chanel, Céline, Gucci, YSL, Louis Vuitton and Hermès. These top brands retail from $$$- $$$$$$$.

Davido
They don’t call him “Omo Baba Olowo” – Son of a Wealthy Man, for nothing. Since 2010, the Gobe star has carved a niche for himself in the music industry by selling lots of albums and booking numerous shows. In February, the star took to Twitter to share his white Chevrolet fleet, tagging the image “I ain’t got no worries.”

Well from where we stand, you certainly don’t have any worries, Davido. Chevrolet cars retail for millions of Naira.

Oluchi Orlandi
Supermodel Oluchi Orlandi has access to numerous designers. The once Victoria Secrets runway queen has worn high tag pieces from Roberto Cavalli and Tom Ford. In January 2013, she shared an image of a limited Louis Vuitton sequined clutch.

When you are a celeb, you sometimes get a pricey goodie bag. On Instagram, Lynxxx made a shout out to Nike for inviting as well as giving him a few of their products including 3 pairs of  Nike Jordan shoes.
