Veteran Nigerian comedian Atunyota Alleluya Akpobome, popularly known as Alibaba, says skit maker Mark Angel is one of the richest comedians in the country.
According to him, Mark Angel earns up to $300,000 per month.
Speaking in the latest episode of The Honest Bunch Podcast, Alibaba said many do not believe Mark Angel is wealthy because he doesn’t flaunt it.
He said, “Some people still don’t believe Mark Angel is one of the richest comedians. Until somebody then hears how much YouTube, and Facebook pay him every month. You hear someone is making up to $300,000 a month. And you are like, ‘Is it not that guy that wears big shorts and acts crazy?”
Alibaba said if Mark Angel was a politician, banker, or oil merchant people would have believed he is wealthy but because he is a comedian, many don’t believe he is wealthy.
He advised people to stop looking down on the comedy profession.
