- Geh Geh, paused his activities on the “University of Wisdom” platform.
- He sparked a debate comparing the wealth of footballers and musicians.
- In a trending video from August 28, he claimed that musicians are wealthier than footballers.
Self-acclaimed financial analyst, Geh Geh, momentarily stepped away from his “University of Wisdom” platform to ignite a heated discussion about the wealth of footballers versus musicians.
In a trending video posted on Thursday, August 28, he confidently asserted that artists in the music industry are both wealthier and more globally recognized than professional footballers.
According to him, Nigerians often exaggerate the financial success of footballers, pointing out that international music icons like Jay-Z and Rihanna have net worths that surpass those of football legends Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
He further argued that Nigerian Afrobeats superstars Davido, Burna Boy, and Wizkid are financially ahead of former Super Eagles captain Mikel Obi, whom he described as the richest footballer in the country.
Geh Geh concluded by stressing that fame in music tends to be more enduring, unlike football careers where popularity diminishes after retirement.
“Musicians make more money than footballers. Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi are worth over 1 billion dollars, Jay Z is worth over 2.8 billion dollars, and Rihanna is worth over 1 billion. In Nigeria, Mikel Obi is worth 40 million to 45 million dollars, Wizkid is worth 50 million to 60 million dollars, Davido is worth 100 million dollars, and Burna Boy is worth 100 million. I love music fame more than football fame,” he said in part.
