This one no be your regular list of rich men o, this is Osun State’s crème de la crème—the kings of money, the titans of industries, and yes, the legends making the Adeleke dynasty look like the Yoruba version of the Rockefellers.

So, grab your snack, adjust your reading glasses (if you wear one), and let’s gist about the richest men in Osun State and how they made the kind of money that can buy out a small country. Okay, maybe not a country—but at least the best table at Quilox every weekend for a year straight.

Summary Table: Richest Men in Osun State (2025)

1. Dr. Adedeji Adeleke – The Billionaire Father of Davido (aka OBO’s Papa)

If Osun State had its own version of Forbes, Dr. Adedeji Adeleke would be on the cover every month. The man no dey make noise, but his money is LOUD. He's the chairman of Pacific Holdings Limited, a business empire with investments in oil & gas, logistics, real estate, finance—you name it.

And just so you know, the Adeleke family doesn’t just flex money, they invest in education too. Dr. Adeleke founded Adeleke University in Ede. Yes, the same Ede where students now walk past fountains and posh buildings. The man’s estimated worth ranges from $900 million to $1.7 billion. BILLION, not million o!

Just imagine: you’re chilling and your dad drops, “I just bought a new campus.” Billionaire problems.

2. Senator Ademola Adeleke – The Dancing Governor with Deep Pockets

Now, if his brother is the money master, then Governor Ademola Adeleke is the people’s favourite. Na him dey enter campaign grounds with dance moves that can scatter TikTok. But behind that fun-loving exterior is serious money and political weight.

This Osun State governor and former senator has been involved in business way before the fame. Of course, it helps when your family runs a billion-dollar company like Pacific Holdings. His estimated net worth? Reports vary, but the figure dances (pun intended) between $100 million and $560 million.

Talk about flexing with a twist of politics and Azonto.

3. Pastor E.A. Adeboye – Preaching and Prosperity

Our next oga is not your regular businessman. Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), is a spiritual father to millions, but let’s be honest—his economic influence is massive too.

From Redeemer’s University to countless RCCG-owned schools, guest houses, and businesses globally, Pastor Adeboye has built a faith-based empire. His net worth is estimated to be around $110 million to $150 million.

Some say he’s the most humble wealthy man they know—drives his own car, wears simple clothes, but don’t be fooled, Daddy G.O. moves mountains... and bank alerts too.

4. Professor Olusola Adeyeye – From Lecturing to Lawmaking

Before politics, Prof. Olusola Adeyeye was an academic doing his thing. Born in Ila Orangun, this biologist became a political heavyweight, eventually representing Osun Central in the Senate.

Now you may not find him at celebrity parties or flashy events, but trust me, Prof. Adeyeye is not broke. His estimated net worth hovers around $80 million, mostly from academia, consulting gigs, and political earnings.

If book could turn to money, this man has a PhD in cash flow.

5. Ooni Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi – The Royal Tycoon

Our fifth entry wears a crown—not just metaphorically, but literally. Ooni of Ife, Oba Ogunwusi, is one of the most powerful traditional rulers in Nigeria, and yes, his money game is as strong as his royal beads.

Before becoming king, he was a successful real estate mogul. He’s the founder of Gran Imperio Group, a company that has built estates and structures across Nigeria.

Now that he’s the Ooni, he’s investing even more in tourism, culture, and heritage preservation. His estimated net worth? A cool $70 million. Long live the king—and his bank account.

6. Davido – OBO, 001, The Baddest

This list cannot be complete without the man with one of the most iconic intros in Afrobeats: “Shekpe!”

David Adeleke, aka Davido, has made a name for himself not just as a musician but as a business mogul in the making. With global tours, endorsements from Pepsi, Puma, and Martell, a record label, real estate deals, and even cryptocurrency investments, OBO is no small boy.

His estimated net worth? $50 million to $90 million, depending on which source you check. And no, his father didn’t pay him to succeed—this boy worked hard and sang harder.

7. Pastor William Kumuyi – The Deeper Pocket from Deeper Life

You know Deeper Life Church, right? The same church where clapping too loud used to feel like a sin. Well, its founder, Pastor W.F. Kumuyi, is as wealthy as he is disciplined.

With millions of followers worldwide, Kumuyi has built churches, schools, and publishing houses. His wealth, estimated at around $50 million, is from books, educational institutions, and strategic investments.

This is the kind of man who can buy a private jet but will rather fly economy. Humility is not his problem at all.

8. Senator Iyiola Omisore – Engineer of Politics and Wealth

Senator Omisore is another Osun-born big boy who has tasted wealth from both engineering and politics. As a civil engineer, he worked on major projects in Nigeria before venturing into politics.

He served as Deputy Governor of Osun State and as a senator. Add his company, Chrisore Engineering Limited, to the mix, and you have a man with a money story worth listening to. His estimated net worth is $40 million.

Rumour has it that when Omisore enters a room, money follows quietly behind.

9. Femi Fani-Kayode (FFK) – The Lawyer with a Loaded Wallet

Controversial? Yes. Articulate? Absolutely. Rich? Definitely.

Femi Fani-Kayode is from Osun State and has served in various federal roles including Minister of Aviation. He’s a lawyer, politician, columnist, and investor. His estimated net worth is about $40 million, and that includes real estate, media properties, and consultancy.

His grammar is enough to confuse you, but when you recover, just know the man is not just talking—he’s talking with millions in the bank.

10. Chief Bisi Akande – Elder Statesman, Millionaire Mind

Last but not least is Chief Bisi Akande, a respected elder and the first civilian governor of Osun State. He later became the interim national chairman of the APC.

Akande may not trend on Twitter or dance on Instagram, but when he speaks, even the most stubborn political figures sit up. His wealth, estimated around $35 million, comes from years of public service, real estate investments, and wise decisions.

A true Yoruba elder with both wisdom and wealth.

Honourable Mentions (aka The “Almost Richer Than Your Fave” Crew)

• Dr. Hareter Babatunde Oralusi – Tech, agro-business, and venture capital. Word is, he’s quietly sitting on $45 million.

• Gboyega Oyetola – Former governor turned Minister. Insurance + politics = money moves.

• Lasun Yusuf – Ex-Deputy Speaker. Low-key but loaded.

What These Men Have in Common

Now, here’s the real tea: these men didn’t just wake up rich. They did the work (okay, and had a sprinkle of privilege too).

1. They Diversified Early: Real estate, oil, finance, religion, politics—you name it.

2. They Used Platforms: Education, politics, faith, and music gave them voice, power, and eventually money.

3. They Think Legacy: From building schools and universities to heritage tourism, they’re investing for generations.

Final Thoughts – So, What’s Your Own Plan?

If you’ve read this far, congrats—you now know the 10 richest men in Osun State. But beyond just knowing who’s balling, the real question is: what are you doing with your own skills?

So whether you’re a student, a hustler, a tech bro, or just figuring life out, one thing is clear—Osun men are showing us that where you’re from doesn’t limit how far you can go.

Now go and be great… and maybe one day, you’ll be the 11th name on this list.
