List Nollywood's biggest earners abeg? Which actress receives the fattest pay in Nollywood now per movie and which actor receives the highest pay now? Authentic info puleeeze.

I believe its still Genevieve. She earns 1million per movie abi?

Oops, She's a big chick o!
1 milla?

Yep. At least that's what City People said.

I envy her.
I want 2 resign from work, i have to start acting.

I believe its still Genevieve. She earns 1million per movie abi?

Are you sure Genevieve earns more than Joke Silva? who is the top earner among actors ?

there  was a film stephanie okereke acted where she refused to act until she was paid a whooping sum of 1.8 million naira,and she said the last she was going to be taking from producers is 1.3 million (  na amebo magazines carry am)

so wats 1million compared to that?

@Jenny i doubt that story,Steph is good sha but she stands nowhere close to jenny.Fame and Popularity in nollywood i mean.
@Topic,i doubt if any one can come up with an authentic list.maybe you should ask the producers

@ifyalways

the question is the highest paid ,and not the best ,most popular or famous

sm pple r very famous ,poular and good in nollywood,but it doesnt mean that they earn more than others

I heard that Emeka Ike is the highest paid actor now in Nollywood but I dont know for actresses.

i heard dat too,but i think "nkem owoh" has taken over

the man earns so much money dat he now produces his own film cos producers cant afford him

na so i hear

Well Genny could probably be the highest pain not until Liz benson got suspended,it was because of her outrageous amount that made the marketers suspended her,but come to think of it,what gives marketers the right to suspend actors and actresses.I beleieve the highest paid actor right now is Nkem Owoh because so fao as far as i am concerned he has gotten the highest money,that was on The Prince where he starrred along side with Pat Attah and the rest of them.he was paid 1.5 m for that movie that is for certain friend.

Emeka Ike definately cannot take the lead of the highest paid compared to the likes of RMD and Nkem Owoh

Emeka Ike is actually the highest paid actor now.I read his recent interview with a guy from punch(a week or two ago) and he confirmed it. Can't remember the date but it was on nigeriaworld.com

I don't know about women though.

Nobody suspended LIz Benson. The icon retired from acting on her own. I think she's a pastor now.

Must be Stephanie.

nkem owoh is d highest paid abeg

emeka ike used to be then but hes no more

Nkem Owoh is da highest paid actor,
For da actresses, its not clear who earns top, jst depends on her bargaining power, but Jenny & Stef rate high

dada22:


Nkem Owoh is da highest paid actor,

really I thought ramsey or desmond

huh,desmond and ramsey wetin?

jennykadri:

huh,desmond and ramsey wetin?

they are top actors in
nollywood so y not?

rokiatu:

they are top actors in
nollywood so y not?

we r talking about highest paid and not top actors here

desmond acts more films dan emeka ike dis days,but it doesnt mean that hes paid more than emeka

fame is quite diff from the pay

sm r popular because they don't demand for too much money to act a film,while some r not popular because their money is high and most producers can't pay them

so top,fame and popularity has nothing to do wt d pay

jennykadri:

so top,fame and popularity has nothing to do wt d pay

weird I thought
it is top actors that demand
more

This topic was covered in the last edition of City People. You people can check it out.

I remember they wrote:

Nkem Owoh = 1.8 million
Genevieve = 1 million
Emeka Ike = 600k
Jim Iyke = 800k
Olu Jacobs = 500k
Ini Edo = 600k
Pete Edochie = 400k
Sam Loco = 400k
Uche Jombo = 400k

Thats all I can recall for now. I'd look in my house for the mag and come and post on here. That is assuming the City People report is anything to go by.

Ini Edo earns more than Olu jacobs? something is wrong with that picture.

I think it's Genevieve and the City People list makes sense

I think that list is kinda correct because i know and very sure that Nkem Owoh is the highest paid but certainly not th richest,it should be noted that being the highest paid does not make one the richest but how often you act counts more than being the highest paid,thats why you guys think Emeka is the highest paid,but he is probably one of the richest.

Liz Benson did not resign from acting she was practically sent out of the industry via the suspensions from the marketers

Liz Benson did not resign from acting she was practically sent out of the industry via the suspensions from the marketers

Any proof to this assertion?

Emeka Ike is the highest paid actor in Nigeria now. He receives N1.8M per movie followed by Kenneth Okonkwo that receives N1.6M per movie.

@Aloy. Emeka - iz 2dae, ?

nkem owoh n Genny ought to be d best paid; but what i'd really like 2 find out is the richest, heard Genny stays in VGC, u know most of them act movies and play big roles n u'd want to think they r dat rich in real life, not until i saw one of them d other day pricing roasted carn with me and beggin d woman to sell it for N20, 'stead of N30( :-Xi won't name names)
