Regina Daniels was born in Lagos, Nigeria, in 1998
She was born on 10th October 1998 into the family of Mr. Jude Ojegwu and Rita Daniels. Against the widespread belief that the actress was born in 2000, it had been revealed that she was born in 1998. This was made known in 2019 after she showed off her PVC on social media when she was campaigning for the Youth Coordinator of Atiku Abubakar. Even though her finger covered part of her birth year on the card, the open part showed that it started with ’19.’ Hence, a Nairaland fan took it upon himself to verify the information on the INEC website. The result revealed that Regina Daniels was born in 1998, contrary to 2000 on record.
Regina was born in the city of Lagos but originally hails from Delta state. Her mother, Rita Daniels, is a famous face in the movie industry as well. She is an actress and was appointed the chairwoman of the Delta State Actors Guild sometime ago. Rita is said to have been very supportive of her daughter’s acting career. Actress Regina came from a middle-class family and was raised in Asaba alongside her five siblings; Samuel, Lawrence, Emmanuel, Ifeoma, and Destiny Daniels. For now, there’s no detailed information about what the siblings are up to and where they are, but we believe they are doing well in their respective fields of interest, just like their sister.
She Dropped out of Igbinedion University
Speaking of her education, Daniels perfectly handles both fields (acting and school) well. She spent her formative years in Lagos State, after which her family came down to Asaba in Delta State. There, she attended both her primary and secondary schools. She studied at the prestigious Hollywood International School Asaba, Delta State. Then in 2018, she proceeded to the Okada-based elite institution – Igbinedion University in Benin City, Nigeria, where she started studying Mass Communication.
However, in November 2019, reports had it that the actress had dropped out of the university and switched to an institution based in the United Arab Emirates. She took the news to her Instagram story, where she shared screenshots and photos of herself taking lectures at the university in UAR. But from the indication, it seems the actress takes the courses online.
Regina Had Her Professional Acting Debut in 2010
Although she came into Nollywood as a child actor with the widely acclaimed Nollywood movie Marriage of Sorrow, Regina Daniels made her professional acting debut in the 2010 movie titled Miracle Child. Given her impressive performance in the film, she got her big breaks and started getting bigger roles in subsequent blockbuster films, and today, she has become a household name in the industry.
Her involvement in the industry has seen her share screen time with popular Nollywood A-list actors such as Chinwe Owoh, Yul Edochie, Tonto Dikeh, Ngozi Ezeonu, Mercy Johnson, and many others. Even though she is yet to win an award, the budding star has been nominated for so many awards in the entertainment industry. In 2015, she was nominated for the Most Promising Actress at the City Movie Award. Similarly, Regina was nominated at the City People Movie Award for Best Supporting Actress of the Year (English) in 2016.

Her Other Business Interests

She has ventured into a few other businesses alongside her acting career, which undoubtedly contributed to her huge net worth. In February 2012, she launched Regina Magazine, which has its content as celebrity and entertainment news, fashion and style, fascinating life stories, and glamour. Regina Daniels also collaborates with Sapphire Time, a fashion accessory brand she advertises on her social media pages.
Does Her Husband’s Net Worth Contribute to Her Wealth?
While it is known that the beautiful actress has made money for herself through her acting career and other business endeavors, it is also worthy to note that a good part of her net worth was acquired due to her marriage to the multi-billionaire politician and businessman Ned Nwoko. Recall that the actress in 2019 made headlines following the news that she is in a romantic relationship with a man who already has five wives and is 38 years older than her. Shortly after they met, the two got married in a traditional wedding ceremony on 26th May 2019 in the actress’s hometown, Anaocha LGA, Delta State.
Ned Nwoko is a Nigerian politician, lawyer, business mogul, and philanthropist who has amassed a huge net worth estimated at $1.5 billion. He acquired his wealth from his numerous businesses such as real estate, tourism, agriculture, oil, arts, etc. He is the founder of Mount Delta, a famous tourist center approved by the Delta State Government. Following her marriage to Ned, Regina became the talk of the town and was mentioned by Google as the most searched actor in the country, topping star actresses like Genevieve Nnaji and Ini Edo. Many simply believed that the actress got married to Ned just for his wealth.
As expected, Regina Daniel’s lavish lifestyle got to its peak just after the marriage. Hence, it won’t rather be any news to say that her net worth is positively affected and boosted by her husband’s massive wealth. Ned is known initially to be a person who loves luxuries. He buys and changes cars for his wives which actress Regina is not left out. So, it is safe to say that Ned Nwoko’s wealth decently contributed to Regina Daniel’s net worth, too, as marrying a man as wealthy as Ned will be the icing on the cake for her.
The Actress is an Activist and Philanthropist
Regina Daniels founded a charity organization known as Regina Daniels Foundation through which she gives back to society. The foundation located in Asaba, Nigeria, aims to provide financial strength for poor children, the physically challenged, and orphans. Regina Daniels Foundation organizes an annual event for children every 27th May whereby it makes large provisions for good food, learning materials, clothes, etc., to promote the welfare of children living in Asaba and its environs.
On the other hand, the actress is also a passionate activist who prioritizes people’s rights and values. She was one of the celebrities who actively supported the #ENDSARS movement in Nigeria. She updated an #EndSARS poster on her Instagram handle, speaking against unjust killings, intimidation, and brutality.
The Beautiful Actress Lavishes on Luxurious Cars

However, based on her usual posts on Instagram, it has become apparent that the actress is a lover of Mercedez-Benz. Let’s look at her latest car collection, the brands, and how much each one is worth.
