9. Diamond Platnum
Diamond Platnumz is rumoured to have mansions like these scattered across the continent. He has a taste for big cars from Toyota Land Cruiser V8 to Escalades, therefore, he would love a bigger compound. The house is valued at $7 million — quite a good bargain for his money. Diamond recently gave his fans a full tour of his house in the Africa Day Benefit Concert hosted by Idris Elba. Watch the video here.
10. Adebayor
Emmanuel Adebayo’s Accra residence is quite a property to die for. The $15 million mansion boasts of a large compound with a swimming pool, an in-house cinema, a gym and many cool amenities.
Adebayor, 37, boasts an amazing array of cars which he keeps safely undercover at a custom-built hangar at his huge home in East Legon, Accra.
If you asked me to choose my favourite, I’d go for Cassper Nyovest’s mansion because he really got value for his money. The exterior and the greenery just does it for me.
