Emeka Okonkwo biography
This man makes everyone jealous. Expensive cars, lavish mansions, beautiful clothes and famous friends. Who wouldn’t want all that? Emeka Okonkwo has made a name for himself, and that name is E-Money. Check out our E-Money biography to find out how he earned his fortune, how he spends it and what he is into these days.
How it all started
Back in 1981, on February 18, a star was born. But then little Emeka Okonkwo didn’t know he was going to be rich and famous. He and his family lived in Ajegunle for a long time. His father worked as a DJ and sold music CDs. The Okonkwos had barely enough money to live a normal life.
Emeka’s older brother, Kingsley Okonkwo, always looked after his little bro and supported the family any way he could. Now you might know him as the popular Nigerian musician Kcee, but back then, he was just a simple Lagos boy.
Emeka tried to find his place in the world and in 1997 he opened up a small forwarding business he called Borisa Nigeria Ltd. In 1999, Kingsley got a shot at fame with his friend Presh in their music band, and things started to look up for the Okonkwo family.
Up until 2003, nothing special happened to Emeka. His business was rather small, and it did not bring in much money. Nevertheless, he did not give up and continued to expand his field of business. In 2003, he met his future wife Juliet, who liked him for who he was, as he could offer her not much else then. However, around that time, he got an important call that changed his life. He received a large 2-million contract for his firm. After that, things became better and better.
How he is doing now
In 2017, Emeka, who now goes by E-Money, has everything he’s ever wanted. Even though he is only thirty-six years old, in cases of people like E-Money, age does not matter. He is already living the dream most people (probably more than 90%) will never even get a glimpse of.
E-Money is the chairperson and CEO of Five Star Group, EmyCargo and Shipping Services Nigeria ltd. and of Emy Motors ltd. He has also invested in the oil and gas industry, as well as real estate. These two branches bring him significant profits.
He is happily married to the love of his life, Juliet Okonkwo. Together, they have three beautiful boys. His wife and kids live in Great Britain in one of his spectacular mansions.
He has many influential friends, who he likes to show off in his pictures. The friend list includes (but is not limited to) senators, influential businessmen, Nigerian customs officials and many others.
