Although there have been varying reportsabout his age, he revealed in an interview that he was one year old in 1964 when <a href=\"https:\/\/buzznigeria.com\/how-old-is-jide-kosoko-and-who-are-his-children\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Prince Jide Kosoko<\/a> began acting. In this case, the actor was born on May 26, 1963, in Lagos. Nonetheless, he hails from Osun State in the southwestern geopolitical zone of Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p>His birth happened in an unusual manner as his mother was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.citypeopleonline.com\/inside-mum-18-months-star-actor-antar-laniyan-reveals-shocking-story\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pregnant with him for 18 months<\/a> (1 year and 6 months). His parents were forced to find a solution and his mother was told to eat an animal called &#8220;aworinwo&#8221; or &#8220;antar&#8221; (Goanna). This resulted in his birth as well as his name, &#8220;Antar&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The actor was born into a royal and Muslim family before he later converted to Christianity. Regardless, he still upholds some values he got from Islam. When he was younger, his mother was the chief mammy market woman at Ilaro, Ogun State. On the other end, his father was working with the Federal Ministry of Education.<\/p>\n<p>This also caused him to be moving from one location to another since his father kept being transferred.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Antar Laniyan&#8217;s Education<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Antar attended many schools while growing up since his family couldn&#8217;t settle in a particular place. Some of the places he was schooled in were Lagos, Ilaro, and Ikere Ekiti. Among the earliest schools he went to is Ansarudeen Primary School. Later, he attended a secondary school in Lagos.<\/p>\n<p>He subsequently went to the <a href=\"https:\/\/buzznigeria.com\/top-10-oldest-universities-in-nigeria-when-and-how-they-where-established\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">oldest university in Nigeria<\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/buzznigeria.com\/university-of-ibadan-school-fees\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">University of Ibadan<\/a>. There he studied Theater Arts.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The Actor Played Football and Nurtured the Dream of Becoming a Soldier<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>While growing up, Antar was exposed to numerous things that shaped his thoughts toward a career. He played street football but his mind was <a href=\"https:\/\/punchng.com\/i-would-have-staged-a-coup-if-i-had-joined-military-antar-laniyan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">on becoming a soldier<\/a> &#8211; a career choice that his mother was not happy with.<\/p>\n<p>He continued to hope to pave a way for himself in the military but his school principal, M.O Alake (father of Henry Dele Alake, journalist and special adviser to <a href=\"https:\/\/buzznigeria.com\/who-was-the-first-executive-president-of-nigeria\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nigeria&#8217;s president<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/buzznigeria.com\/bola-tinubus-net-worth-cars-and-the-houses-he-owns\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bola Tinibu<\/a>) thought he would be better off as a Thespian.<\/p>\n<p>Also, he met the playwright Ben Tomoloju &#8220;Pappy Ben&#8221; &#8211; a man who has a successful career as a journalist, activist, essayist, poet, singer, and former deputy editor of The Guardian. Pappy Ben thought that he may not make a very good soldier. Instead, the older man saw him as a young teenager who would have a prospect as an actor.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Antar Laniyan&#8217;s Journey as a Stage and Mainstream Actor<\/strong><\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/Ck2hObrDntP\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

He has earned majorly from his career as a stage and mainstream actor as well as director. In addition, he has earned from other sources such as endorsement deals and perhaps other businesses.<\/p>\n<p>Here, we have calculated his net worth based on his career success (keeping income at the forefront). This includes looking at his assets and putting them in monetary value.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>How Much Is Antar Laniyan&#8217;s Salary?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The actor&#8217;s exact salary is not known but he sure gets paid for each of the movies and series he is featured in. Interestingly, he has featured in over 50 films and has equally performed on stage.<\/p>\n<p>Looking further, most new Nigerian actors of this era receive over \u20a6150,000 per role while those with more experience and playing major roles receive over \u20a61 million for a role.<\/p>\n<p>In this case, it is safe to say that Antar may have received about \u20a6150,000 at a point in his career. Needless to say, he may be receiving almost or about a million Naira for each of the roles he has played.<\/p>\n<p>While keeping this in mind, it is also worth noting that many Yoruba language actors do not earn as high as English actors. Since most of his roles are in Yoruba movies, his earning may not necessarily be as high as our projection.<\/p>\n<p>Now, looking at his earning as a director, Nigerian directors are said to earn an average of \u20a6200,000 per film. One of his greatest works is Super Story which he directed for 10 years. In this case, he would be paid per episode (for every series for 10 years).<\/p>\n<h3><strong>He Has Bagged Several Endorsement Deals\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The Ogun-state native has bagged several endorsement deals which have contributed to his estimated $1 million net worth. Among them is a deal with Dosmak Nigeria Limited. The company owns the famous Prince Golden Estate. The endorsement is reportedly worth millions of Naira and the actor was highly involved in advertisement and other marketing strategies for the brand.<\/p>\n<p>Another brand Antar Laniyan <a href=\"https:\/\/tribuneonlineng.com\/antar-nkechi-blessing-others-endorsed-as-naira-million-lottery-ambassadors\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">endorsed is Naira Millions<\/a> &#8211; a Nigerian online lottery company which he cut a deal with in 2020. The company which aims at alleviating poverty, especially among youths, has also been endorsed by Kunle Afod and Kazeem Abimbola among others.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Who is Antar Laniyan&#8217;s Wife?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Antar Laniyan is married to a supportive wife whose identity is kept under wraps. In 2014, it was revealed that the couple was married for 18 years. As such, it is likely they were married around 1996.<\/p>\n<p>Laniyan met his wife at the National Theater in Lagos. At first, he was not sure if he was going to speak to her because he was shy about asking women out. As a result, his friend and actor Rasak Ajao &#8220;Araosan&#8221; approached and told her that Antar wanted to speak to her. The rest they say is history.<\/p>\n<p>Antar Laniyan speaks highly of his wife despite keeping her away from the spotlight. He narrated a story of how she would review his movies and once told him how he was <a href=\"https:\/\/punchng.com\/my-wife-criticises-me-if-i-dont-play-romantic-roles-well-antar-laniyan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">not romantic enough in a movie<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Meet Antar Laniyan&#8217;s Children<\/strong><\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_83441\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-83441\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-83441 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/buzznigeria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Ifeoluwa.jpg\" alt=\"Antar Laniyan \" width=\"640\" height=\"393\" srcset=\"https:\/\/buzznigeria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Ifeoluwa.jpg 640w, https:\/\/buzznigeria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Ifeoluwa-260x160.jpg 260w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-83441\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Antar and his oldest son (<a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.punchng.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/16191300\/Ifeoluwa-and-his-father.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Image Source<\/a>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Nollywood actor is a father of 2 sons.
