Despite being considered as only the sixth richest Nigerian footballer, past and present, in terms of net worth, Saudi Arabia based striker Odion Ighalo boasts a richly extravagant mansion like no other, as it also boasts a sizeable football court adjacent to a lush swimming pool. Here's a look.
The story
Located in the Nigerian suburbs of Lekki near Ighalo's hometown of Lagos, the striker is the proud owner of the beautiful mansion called the Ighalo Residence.

Let's talk wealth
According to a 2022 report by Nigerian outlet Pulse, Ighalo is the second richest active footballer from the country with a net worth of ?14.6 billion (R585 million) and the sixth wealthiest if you include retired stars John Obi Mikel and Obafemi Martins.
His wealth is for all to see, as he often flaunts in valuables, including a modified Mercedes G-Wagon and private jets for his regular travels. Last month, he went all out for his son Samuel's 11th birthday, bringing out a luxury limousine, a private yacht, and a supercar-inspired jet ski.

Name a South African star who could match Ighalo's wealth.
