Lifestyle

Net Worth

Teni’s fortune has come from endorsement deals, concerts, and song sales. She has a net worth of $2.1 million, making her one of the wealthiest female Nigerian artists. She secured a partnership deal with Cadbury Nigeria’s confectionery brand TomTom in March 2019. Teni also secured an endorsement contract with Globacom Nigeria, a major telecommunications company, according to PM News. A mouthwatering deal that has been renewed. She also signed a contract to serve as the brand ambassador of Wema Bank Nigeria’s “alat.ng” initiative on July 12, 2019. Budweiser beer also endorsed the artist as one of its many celebrity ambassadors.

Cars

Even though Teniola rarely flaunts her pricey rides on social media, we are confident that she has high standards for automobiles. The exotic cars Teni enjoys are displayed in her hit song, “Billionaire.” She displays a Rolls-Royce Wraith Grand Tourer Coupe and the coveted Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon SUV. But based on our research, we believe she only owns a Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon SUV and a Lexus LX 570, not a Rolls-Royce Wraith Grand Tourer Coupe.

House

Family

Parents

Teni’s mother, Mrs. Margaret Apata, is largely unknown, although Rt. Brigadier General Simeon Olaosebikan Apata is her father. Few people knew that he had served in the Nigerian civil war and as a retired Brigadier-General in the Nigerian army. He was renowned for his boldness; he didn’t give his neighborhood’s armed thieves and robbers a chance to get away. He developed many enemies due to this, and unfortunately for him, on January 8, 1995, gunmen in Lagos shot and killed him. Many were saddened by the news of his passing, particularly his family.

Simeon Apata started a private school in 1980 when he was still living. Because he was a soldier, the private boarding school was operated militarily. The school was a success, with thousands of pupils and hundreds of teachers. The school was renamed Apata Memorial High School in his honor upon passing in 1995. His three widows currently run the school.
