The popular Funke Akindele is a talented Yoruba movie
actress who rose to fame in I Need
To Know, a TV series that enlightened youths about HIV/AIDS. However, the
Nollywood star cemented her stardom in the Nigerian film industry with her amazing performance in her rib cracking movie
‘Jenifa’.
This movie cuts across all social groups with the street parlance in it becoming the mode
of communication at social gatherings. Many folks now says ‘Yelz’ instead of
Yes, ‘Big Gehs’ instead of Big Girls, ‘Parry’ instead of Party,
etc.
So far, Funke has earned over 56 Million Naira, netting about 20 Million Naira in 2012 alone.
Her movie ‘The Return of Jenifa’ brought 35 Million
Naira to her coffers. ‘Maami’ (Starring Funke Akindele, Ayomide Abatti and Wole
Ojo. Produced by Tunde Kelani ) made 11 Million naira. Funke was also the lead
for the flick ‘Married But Living Single’ which grossed 9.9 Million
Naira.
Another movie which she's part of is the upcoming ‘A
Wish’ and industry buffs are already hoping it will become a box office success. With all these facts and numbers,
the question about Funke Akindele being the richest Yoruba actress can be said
to have been addressed.
Funke is undeniably very rich and to cap her success,
the highly creative actress got married in 2012!
