Apart from living in sprawling mansions, these guys have some of the most expensive cars in the country. A few months ago, Timaya who until recently lived a very private life, shared photos of his mansion and it got everybody talking.
A close look at the mansion from the exterior shows the property was carefully designed to the finest detail, it looks like paradise on earth. Even the sitting room for his kids can pass for the board room of an international company.
Timaya was one of the hosts at MTV Base’s celebrity living and he got to show his closet and men, his closet is so big that it can house a studio and mini apartment.
For Peter Okoye, the guy has always lived a very classy life style since fame hit him, so it wasn’t a surprise when Peter moved into a mansion after leaving Square Ville, once shared with his twin brother, Paul.
During one of MTV Base’s show, celebrity living episode, Peter got to show to the world his mansion and we were all in awe. From his massive living room to his kitchen which is all white and red, we got to see how stylish Peter is with his studio which also doubles as mini cinema. Guys, Peter Okoye aka Mr. P is indeed living the life.
