Obafemi Martins: Top 10 Nigerian Super Sport Stars & their Super Investments

John Mikel

Obi Mikel has been with Chelsea since 2006 and currently earns £80,000 (N20 million) every week, excluding bonuses and income from participating in the UEFA Champions League. He is said to be the owner of a national transport company with a fleet of over 100 buses, each costing N5 million.

Within the last three years, the transport company has raked in over N100 million in profits according to reports. The 28-year-old central midfielder also owns a mansion in Jos and London with both valued in the region of N700 million. Mikel also has shares in major oil companies in Nigeria.

Obafemi Martins

Although financial experts have said the acquisition of cars cannot be regarded as investment, the Seattle Sounders striker is notable as a big lover of flashy automobiles and has them aplenty, but that has not stopped him from investing a portion of his money in real estate and hospitality business. He has mansions in Italy and Nigeria, but his money-spinning hotel in Como, Italy, is regarded as one of the best in that modest city.
