involves earnings from endorsements, and other
businesses they have been involved in during the past
years.
10) Chioma Chukwuka – 46 Million Naira
The absolutely scandal-free actress in Nollywood has
featured in about 70 movies and has raked in millions for
herself and family. She earned N8 million from movies in
2007.

properties in choice locations in both Rivers State
and Lagos.
8) Uche Jombo – 49.5 Million Naira
In 2008, she pocketed N10 million for her slick
performances in several movies.
The Glo ambassador and model, who earned more than
N11 million in 2009, seems unstoppable at the moment.
The year 2011/2012 could see her top this list, since
some of her movies are not yet released and the ones
being shown in cinemas are still enjoying sold-out status
across the continent.
7) Patience Ozokwor – 51 Million Naira
The Enugu star is nicknamed 'Mama G' in Nollywood. She
is the oldest on the list and is notable for her tough roles
in movies. 'Mama G', who is also a musician, has been
consistent in the industry and her roles have been raw
energy. She is very diverse in her investments but also
has several landed properties. She also started business
very early.
6) Omotola Jalade Ekeinde – 53 Million Naira
In 2007, she grossed N9 million. Omotola takes it easy
with her life and also has great passion for cars.
She drives more expensive cars than any actress in
Nollywood and her garage is estimated to be worth N20
million. The mother, model and musician has recently
stepped up her game in the music industry.
Her first album 'Gba' was her first introduction to the
music industry but her sophomore album 'Me, Myself &
Eyes' has defined her as truly talented. The production
and promotion of her album cost her a whopping N13
million.
5) Mercy Johnson – 55 Million Naira
By 2008, Mercy Johnson had appeared in fifteen movies
and earned N11.4 million from movies alone. The
following year, she earned N13 million and she featured in
the Emen Isong hit movie 'Guilty Pleasures'. She is also
an investor in properties and she is about to complete
two houses at the moment. She also owns about six
landed properties in Lagos.
4) Rita Dominic – 58 Million Naira
In 2004, she won the City Peoples Award as the Most
Outstanding Actress. The face of Nokia and the Glo
ambassador is also a business woman.
Rita has done well both as an actress and a model. Her
assets include landed properties and two homes
estimated to be worth over N40 million.
Between 2008 and 2009, she earned N16million (most of
it part of the money coming from Nokia and Glo.) She is
about to launch a book and produce her own films.
3) Ini Edo – 60 Million Naira
She has five buildings to her credit and another one to be
completed by the end of the year. Most of the buildings
are being rented to tenants. By 2007, she had earned
N15.7 million from movies and her businesses.
She has just produced her latest flick 'Memories Of The
Heart' which will be premiered in the United States. She is
a Glo ambassador and is also part of the project to move
Nollywood to another level. She is fully involved with
Nollywood USA.
2) Genevieve Nnaji – 64 Million Naira
By 2009, she raised the bar and she was paid $25,000 in
the blockbuster international hit movie 'IJE' produced by
Chineze Anyaene. A model and also a singer, she
became the Face of Lux in 2004 and was subsequently
involved with Pronto beverage and Omo detergent.
Between 2004 and 2006, she earned a whopping N31.3
million.
N14.7 million came from her two-year deal with Lux
($100,000). With no great interest in real estate, she
decided to dive into the fashion industry. She launched
her clothing line St. Genevieve in 2008 which is presently
being managed by fashion icon Zizi Cardow and is
reportedly worth N20 million.
There is no doubt that she would have been topping this
list with a great margin if she eventually got the Glo deal.
She became the first to be contacted by Globacom, but
she demanded N50 million while globacom wanted to sign
her on for N30 million. She's reported to have tried later to
salvage the deal, but she had already lost it. She is also
the brand ambassador of Range Rover's Evogue new
brand of cars.
1) Kate Henshaw-Nuttall –67 Million Naira
By 2006, she had earned N10 million and the following
year, she reached N12 million. The warm and beautiful
star is also a model, a former Glo Ambassador, and face
of Onga (brand from Promasidor) and has since earned a
whopping N20 million between 2008 and 2010.
