So everyone’s been asking about Portable’s money situation, right? I mean, you can’t scroll through Twitter without someone arguing about how much this guy is actually worth. And honestly, the numbers are confusing as hell.
I’ve been trying to figure this out myself because some blogs are saying one thing, others are saying something completely different. Like, what’s the real deal with Habeeb Okikiola’s bank account? He is so big, from Abeokuta to international collabs, no stopping. Trying to get the exact net worth is quite difficult; that’s where the problem lies.
The Numbers Game
Okay, so here’s what I found. Back in 2023, most places were putting him at around $400,000 (around 280 million naira then). Some were saying $300,000 in 2024, which is a bit confusing. Was he spending more than he was making, or were the earlier estimates just wrong? Not sure. Or, and this is more likely, different websites use completely different methods to calculate these things.
Now we’re in 2025, and some sources are pushing it back up to maybe half a million dollars. But then you’ve got these random blogs throwing around numbers like one million, five million… I saw one that claimed ten million.
The thing is, when I actually try to verify any of these numbers, it’s impossible. Nobody’s showing their work, you know? But from what I can piece together from streaming data, show bookings, endorsement deals… I’d say he’s probably sitting somewhere between $300k and $500k.
Where’s He Getting All This Cash?
Music streaming is obviously the big one. Ever since ‘Zazu Zeh’ went crazy in 2021, and yeah, having Olamide co-sign definitely didn’t hurt his Spotify and Apple Music numbers have been decent. That ‘Tony Montana’ track with Skepta? Last I checked, it had several million streams. Those royalties add up faster than people think.
But what people don’t really get is… streaming money isn’t actually that crazy. Like, Spotify gives artists maybe half a cent per stream, sometimes less. A million streams might only get you 4 or 5 thousand dollars. Split that with producers, features, label cuts… the artist might see half of that.
Live shows are probably his biggest money maker, though. I heard he’s charging around $3,000 per show, sometimes more if it’s a big event. And he is everywhere: arties, concerts, club appearances. The tricky part is that show bookings aren’t consistent. December might be packed with events, but January and February could be dead. So his monthly income probably swings wildly.
Then there are endorsements. That Odogwu Bitters thing with Obi Cubana in 2022 must’ve paid well. Don’t know the exact figures, but when you see celebrities doing these endorsements, it’s usually somewhere between 10 and 50 million naira. Depends on how big you are and how much the brand wants you.
There’s also this Sujimoto construction partnership I keep seeing mentioned, but honestly, I have no clue what that’s worth. Plus, there’s this local herbal drink called Zazu Bitters in Ogun State. Seems like he’s trying to build his own brand around ‘zazu’, which honestly isn’t a bad business move.
I keep hearing about bars and restaurants, too, but honestly, I can’t confirm those. It could be true, it could be internet rumors. You know how these things go.
The Flashy Lifestyle
Look, Portable knows how to stunt. No question about it. That Lekki apartment isn’t cheap, even if it’s not some crazy mansion; Lekki rent will eat your money quickly. I’ve got friends paying 8-12 million naira yearly just for decent places there. And he’s always posting about it on Instagram.
Cars? He’s got a Range Rover, Toyota Camry, and Lexus, from what I’ve seen. Nothing too wild, but definitely not struggling-artist vehicles either. The Range Rover alone probably cost him around 40-60 million naira, depending on the year and model.
But here’s where I get skeptical… some blogs claiming he dropped 800 million naira on houses and cars? Where’s the proof, though? I’ve looked everywhere and can’t find any reliable source for numbers that big. Sounds like internet exaggeration to me.
Also, let’s be real about social media flexing. Half the time, celebrities rent expensive cars for music videos or events, then people assume they own them. Or they’ll lease something and act like they bought it cash. Not saying he’s doing this, but it happens a lot in the entertainment industry.
Why The Numbers Keep Jumping Around
This whole thing started bugging me until I realized, of course, his worth keeps changing. Musicians don’t have steady salaries like office workers. One viral song could double his income for the year. A quiet period could slow everything down.
Plus, different websites just… make stuff up? Some inflate everything because bigger numbers get more clicks. Others are more realistic. And Portable himself loves flexing on social media, so people see his posts and assume that’s factual financial information.
I spent hours trying to cross-reference different sources, and it’s like they’re talking about completely different people sometimes. One site says he bought a house for 200 million naira, another says 500 million, and another doesn’t mention any house at all.
Also, his career trajectory has been pretty steep. In 2022, estimates had him at maybe $100,000. Then 2023 hits, and it’s suddenly four times that amount. That kind of rapid growth naturally makes the numbers unstable.
What I Actually Think
After all this research and trying to separate facts from hype, my guess is Portable’s net worth is around $300,000 to $500,000 right now in 2025. Convert that to naira, you’re looking at maybe 140 to 230 million, give or take.
That covers streaming revenue, performance fees, endorsement money, and whatever business ventures he’s actually got running (not the rumored ones).
Could he hit that million-dollar mark soon? Maybe, if he keeps the momentum going and makes smart moves. International features like the Skepta collaboration definitely help expand his market beyond Nigeria. But right now, the realistic estimates keep him under that millionaire threshold.
Portable’s financial story is about timing, hustle, and grabbing opportunities. In just a few years, he went from local street performer to streaming internationally, from small venue gigs to features with UK artists.
Sure, those million-dollar rumors sound exciting, but the actual verifiable numbers are still pretty impressive for someone who’s only been mainstream famous for like three years. Whether you’re a fan of his music, entertained by his antics, or just respect the grind… his story isn’t finished. And his bank account probably is not done growing either.
Let us know what you also think about these figures in the comment section. Gracias.
