CharlyBoy’s Amazing Wealth Unveiled
A recent report at our dis
posal has shown that Charles Oputa, popularly known as CharlyBoy, like the legendary Afro beat King, Fela Anikulapo Kuti, was tossed between upholding his aristocratic status as first son of the renowned jurist, Justice Chukwudifu Oputa and establishing his originality on the sands of time by heeding the call of destiny to make a difference in his generation.
He rebelled against parental interference in his career path with a determination to deliver himself as a gift to his generation, a decision he paid dearly for. Today. CharlyBoy is not only an entertainer, but a household name and an enigmatic social engineer who has carved a nitch for himself with an amazing wealth and cult followership.
It was gathered that in 2009, Charly Boy acquired a second. hand helicopter for his family use, but sold it after one week of purchase due to some mechanical faults. However, Charlyboy, undisputably celebrated Nigerian entertainers and obviously one of the richest celebrities in Africa, recently came back from his tour of the United States with a second hand helicopter which he acquired with $780,000.00.
It is shocking to know that Charly Boy also known as ‘Area Fada’ has acquired apartments on every street in Gwarimpa Abuja. His 25 buildings in Gwarimpa cannot be disputed. In recognition of his antecedents as a social engineer, some bus stops in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt and Benin have been named after him.
He also has over 30 landed properties in Abuja, including the newly secured Charly Boy youth centre.
The General of the Peoples Army also has different apartments abroad, including Dubai, an apartment in United States, a night club in England, 3 apartments in Lagos and an apartment in Ghana as well as fleet of exotic cars and power bikes. The multi-billionaire also has a mansion for an office just immediately after his house in the Gwarimpa estate, Abuja.
Charly Boy has been rated as one of the richest living celebrities in Nigeria. He has not only acquired fame, but stupendous wealth as well. Many have concluded that it is because of his wealth that he continues to spend money on make ups and eccentric costumes. Some have said that it is because he feels so successful that he now sleeps in coffins, keeps a python as a pet and a host of other weird things he does.
Apart from his wealth, not many are aware that the ‘Area Fada’ is a grand father. He is said to be happy with his 9 children who are all doing well in their various endeavours. They are mostly graduates, one of his sons is an Associate Professor at MIT, Boston. Indeed Charly Boy’s story is that of rags to riches, from cradle to greatness, from obscurity to fame, from poverty to stupendous wealth and from failure to success in life.
Today, the stone that the builders rejected has now become the chief corner stone in the Oputa’s family. The supposed stubborn child and so called a rascal and black sheep of the family is now a positive reference point and a major help to the family.

But while saying that, Yul also hinted that there were incidents in their marriage he had chosen not to discuss publicly.
According to him, he was “too much of a man” to come online and break down over personal matters.
Reacting to the interview, Sarah, in a post on her Instagram story, pointed out what she described as irony in Yul’s words—saying he wished May well while also making statements that could create doubt in people’s minds.
According to her, if he truly meant well for his former wife, there was no reason to hint at hidden issues and leave people guessing.
“You wish her well, but you granted Podcast the power to sow doubt in people’s minds by saying she did something that led you to do what you did, but you won’t say it,” she said.
“Oga, you’re just pained that she’s doing well!”
Sarah also questioned the purpose of the interview, asking if jealousy may have played a role.

Nigerian entrepreneur and socialite, Pascal Chibuike Okechukwu, also known as Cubana Chief Priest, has opened up on his fallout with singer Burna Boy, alleging that the music star publicly attacked him because of his close relationship with Davido.
Speaking during an interview on The Beat 99.9 FM on Wednesday, Cubana Chief Priest said his journey to success began from apprenticeship and years of hard work, adding that fame and financial growth often attract envy and criticism.
“Success comes with a lot of hate. I started my journey from apprenticeship and service and I learnt so much about growth and perseverance. When you start becoming successful, you understand how people treat you.
“I was on my own and Burna Boy came for me, went on his big platform and started tweeting things that are not genuine, things that are not possible, things that have not existed and the attack was straight to my wealth.
“So he wanted to make people look at my wealth, disrespect my wealth, I felt bad and that happened because of my relationship with Davido,” he said.
He further stated that Davido has consistently supported his businesses and personal projects.
“David is always there for me. He opened all my nightclubs, restaurants, everything. He always shows up to support me.
“He’s investing in clubs in Lagos, and I’m making music to prove a point that I can,” he added.
