Nigerian economist, entrepreneur, philanthropist and chairman of Heirs Holdings, the United Bank for Africa, Transcorp and founder of The Tony Elumelu Foundation has been dragged into a competition with Starboy Wizkid.
The duo were pictured together in what Elumelu described as: ”A quick chat with @wizkidayo before tonight’s show ahead of the @ubagroup ’s launch in #Mali” while the ”Fever” crooner also shared a photo of the duo, calling their meeting a done deal in Mali.
Fans of Wizkid and Tony have since reacted on Twitter, trying to compare who the richer one is between them both. Some even went as far as solving arithmetic to ascertain their net worth.

Tony Elumelu has a net worth of $700 million and owns UBA Group (active in 21 countries). UBA has a deal with Wiz. Even Wizkid knows Elumelu is a boss. A troll looking for attention compared him to Wizkid. Wizkid FC has nothing to do with that stupid comparison. Let's be guided.

Someone who is NOT a Wizkid fan trolled (seeked for attention) and said Wizkid is richer than Tony Elumelu, who owns UBA Group, which has branches in 21 countries including USA and the UK and has a net worth of $700m. Now they're saying "Wizkid fans said it". Imagine the rubbish.

Tony Elumelu has a far more healthier, prettier, smarter & fresher accounts as a money creator while Wizkid's account is though alive but looks out of date.

Wizkid and Tony Elumelu
Wizkid was the Face of UBA's launch in Mali, which further cemented UBA's position as Africa's Global Banks. He has more projects with them. This is what's worth reading, not attention seeking tweets from someone comparing Wizkid & Elumelu. #WizkidTheIcon pic.twitter.com/rolxTENt3y

I'm not surprised that people are comparing wizkid to Tony Elumelu, after all he was compared to Fela and nobody said anything.
