But going through his background, you would be taken aback to know that E-money was born in the shantytown of Lagos called Ajegunle on October 18, 1981, into a humble family. Born, raised, and gained fame and popularity in Lagos, some believe that E-money is from Lagos. However, the Business Mogul is an Igbo man from Uli<strong>,<\/strong> a town of historical importance situated at the extreme Southeast corner of Ihiala local government area of Anambra State, the eastern part of Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p>He was raised alongside his brother Kingsley (Kcee) under the care of their parents.\u00a0Being raised in an entertainment-grounded family, his father was a Disc Jockey. He played music in social events, sold CD plates, video cassettes, and ventured into other low-income businesses to feed and train his children. His mother was a supportive housewife to his husband. Today, both parents are happy they are currently reaping the fruit of their labor as the fortune of their son E-money has in turn given them the befitting good and luxurious life they deserve.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>He Holds A Doctorate Degree in Business Management and Corporate Governance<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The 43-year-old oil mogul spent most of his years in <a href=\"https:\/\/buzznigeria.com\/how-many-local-governments-are-in-lagos-state-here-is-the-complete-list\/\">Lagos State<\/a>. E-money&#8217;s formal education from nursery school, primary to the secondary level were all in Lagos State. Information about his tertiary education is also unknown. The businessmen bagged an Honorary Doctorate Degree in Business Management and Corporate Governance from The European-American University. This certificate has played an outstanding role in shaping his businesses and management as well. The certificate was made public on Five Star Music&#8217;s official Instagram handle.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>His Only Brother, Kcee, is a Successful Music Star<\/strong><\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/tv\/CWaZxGcoHaf\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

Popularly known as <a href=\"https:\/\/buzznigeria.com\/kcee-net-worth-another-look-at-the-singers-sources-of-income\/\">Kcee<\/a>, E-money&#8217;s elder and only brother is a 45-year-old famous Nigerian musician and songwriter known for his hit song <em>Limpopo<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Born on April 18, 1979, Kcee rose to the limelight in 2013 after releasing his hit song, which accorded him several awards and mouth watery endorsement deals. He was formerly a member of the defunct group called Kc Presh. He has recorded and performed great songs with notable artists like <a href=\"https:\/\/buzznigeria.com\/flavour\/\">Flavour<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/buzznigeria.com\/wizkid-facts-profile-biography\/\">Wizkid<\/a>, and much more.<\/p>\n<p>Fondly called Michael Jackson in his early days as a kid due to his dancing skills, it earned him the Best Rated Artiste of the year award in 2013, and he was also nominated for the Most Gifted Video Dance Award in 2013. Unarguably, E-money has also been a great fan and supporter of his brother&#8217;s music career. He has been spotted mainly in most of his music videos.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>E-Money Had a Rough Beginning<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>It is interesting to know that the billionaire did not have an all rosy beginning as many would think. E-money from childhood understood his background and was determined to hustle to make it in life. He followed his father&#8217;s footsteps and learned to work hard legitimately as a businessman. He grew up struggling to make ends meet alongside his brother Kingsley, the <em>Limpopo<\/em> crooner, Kcee. The two brothers faced many challenges to the extent that they could not afford their house rent, which was about N70,000, leading to their eviction from their home in Ajegunle, Lagos.<\/p>\n<p>The family had no option but to turn to their friends and relatives who could take them in. Their mother moved in with one of her sisters, while their father had to turn to some of his friends. E-money and his brother took refuge in Kcee&#8217;s car, which he won in a Star Quest Talent Hunt Competition. It wasn&#8217;t long before the vehicle they used as their home got stolen and left them homeless. Nevertheless, the two still kept pushing, and E-money resorted to becoming a freight agent.<\/p>\n<p>Things took a good turn for E-money not too long after his wedding when he got his first $2 million deal through a call. He held on to that opportunity and maximized it, which still left him on the list of young billionaires today.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>E-Money Has Many Business Ventures<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>From his major break to date, E-money has ventured into many businesses, which have amassed him the vast wealth he has today. Below is a list of the businesses that he has ventured into so far:<\/p>\n<h3><strong>He Became The Owner Of 5-star Oil and Gas At 17<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Oil and gas is another business which E-money does and, to a large extent, has brought him profit and prosperity. This part of his company was established in 1997. 5-star oil and gas serve as one of his primary sources of income.<\/p>\n<p>Counting E-money&#8217;s successive achievements, his investment in transportation in maritime comes to mind. He owns a shipping company, which he acquired in 1997. The company was formerly known as Borisa Nig Ltd but is currently owned by E-money and named Emmy Cargo Nigeria Limited.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>He Established A Music Record Label At The Age Of 30<\/strong><\/h3>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CRQtZs_gPqh\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;
