The luxury lifestyle of some of the former Big Brother Naija reality TV stars seems to have a toll on how they go about their businesses, even though they appear to make it noticeable as to how they show off. Some reality TV stars are luxury freaks while a few number of them choose to remain focused and low-key.
Owning luxurious vehicles has been a thing for celebrities, not only in Nigeria, but also around the world, and we tend to see this lifestyle as common, with so many emotions attached. A car worth millions of bucks seems like nothing to a celebrity who presumably makes more than that in months. And even with the depreciating factors accrued to luxuries like vehicles, the owner tends to lose in the long run.
After a thorough survey and research, ValidUpdates came out with a list of celebrity reality TV stars, precisely Big Brother Naija who is believed to own the best and probably most expensive cars among their colleagues in the industry. Our list focused more on those reality TV stars who show their cars off very often and have announced previously about owning such luxury automobiles. The list also goes on to point out the amount of the vehicle in line with the market trends.
The reality TV stars on our list include Mercy Eke, Hazel Whitemoney Onoduenyi, Frodd Chukwuebuka Okoye, Natacha Tacha Akide, and Erica Nlewedim.
Whitemoney’s Mercedes-Benz Maybach
The number one BBNaija star on our list, who has the best car among other reality TV stars is Hazel Oyeze Onoduenyi, popularly called Whitemoney. The winner of BBNaija season 6 Shine Ya Eye show acquired this ride in 2023, a year after emerging as the winner of the reality TV show. Since announcing the acquisition of the luxury car, Whitemoney has continued to show it off almost all the time through his social media platforms, specifically Snapchat and Instagram.
We also noticed that the reality TV star seems to prove that he owns the same car as the likes of America’s Dj Khaled and Nigerian Afropop star, Davido.
However, according to our findings, the Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for the 2023 Mercedes-Benz Maybach owned by Whitemoney starts at $194,550 for the S-Class, and this is equivalent to ₦238,907,400 if we calculate this on the $1,228 rate.
Mercy Eke’s Range Rover series
The second housemate on our list of BBNaija reality TV stars with the best car is the 2019 Pepper Dem show winner, Mercy Chinenyenwa Eke. It’s never hidden from the public that Mercy loves to show off her fleet of cars, particularly Range Rover. Within the space of three years, this Imo State native has purchased two Range Rovers namely Range Rover Velar and Range Rover Sport.
Mercy bought her first Range Rover in 2020. She announced in September of that year about gifting herself a Range Rover Velar on her birthday. She confirmed this by taking to her social media pages to share pictures of herself posing with a white colored Range Rover. “I want it, I got it, I want it, I got it. Couldnt think of a better way to spoil myself today after an amazing year. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME, from me to me… Range Rover Velar!!!!!!”, Mercy posted on her Twitter page on 29 September 2020. Then, a year later, she had to repaint that Valer with a girlie pink color.
In December 2023, the BBNaija star announced acquiring a new Range Sport. Following her announcement, netizens reacted, as they accused Mercy of recycling the same Range Rover unknown to them that it’s two different cars. Mercy has spent a reasonable amount of money on luxury cars, hence our reason for adding her as number two on our list.
According to the Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price, the cost of the Range Rover Velar and Range Sport stays at $61,500 – $85,095 and $83,000 – $121,500 respectively.
Frodd Chukwuebuka Okoye
Without any argument, we observed that the 2019 Pepper Dem star, who happens to take part alongside Mercy Eke and Whitemoney in the 2023 season 8 All Stars edition made it to our list as one of the few BBNaija stars who drive the best luxury cars. Frodd owns about three fleets of cars namely two Mercedes Benz (GLE and Maybach) and a Range Rover. Frodd also joins his colleagues as one of the reality TV stars who show off their cars in any way possible on the Internet. His cars have since been celebrities’ favorites.
Natacha Ibinabo Akide
One of the most relevant Nigerian reality TV stars, Tacha is also included in the list of those BBNaija stars we believe spent millions of money on cars they drive. Tacha currently owns about two luxury cars, a Mercedes Benz and a Range Rover to his name. Tacha’s Benz happens to be her first-ever luxury car allegedly gifted to her by her prosperous fans, Titans in 2019. It wasn’t until last year, 2023, that Tacha revealed owning a Range Rover. She has also joined the queue of her colleagues like Mercy, Frodd, and Whitemoney who always display their cars flamboyantly on social media.
Erica Ngozi Nlewedim
Just like her colleagues, Erica has shown several times that she owns and drives a white-colored Range Rover. This leaves us to conclude that BBNaija ladies love to pull up in Range Rovers. Erica acquired her Range Rover in 2021, a few months after the 2020 Lockdown show, where she got disqualified. Although Erica minimizes the rate at which she shows off, any social media user who comes across some of her posts would notice a speck of her flamboyancy.
The above BBNaija stars are the ones we believe have always wanted the general public to see that they ride expensive and luxury cars. That does not mean other BBNaija stars don’t own expensive cars of their own, but they choose to remain private about it.
