“Comedy is not to be underrated” — Alibaba
Veteran Nigerian comedian Atunyota Alleluya Akpobome, better known as Alibaba, disclosed intriguing insights about the wealth the Comedy industry fetches for comedians and what skit artists like Mark Angel earn.
During an episode of The Honest Bunch Podcast, Alibaba shed light on Angel’s financial success, which has largely remained under the radar.
Alibaba emphasized the prevalent underestimation of Angel’s wealth due to his unassuming demeanor and the comedic nature of his profession.
“Some people still don’t believe Mark Angel is one of the richest comedians,” Alibaba remarked during the podcast.
He highlighted the disbelief that surrounds Angel’s substantial monthly earnings, reaching a staggering $300,000 from platforms like YouTube and Facebook.
In his candid discussion, Alibaba pointed out the disparity in acknowledging wealth across different professions.
He highlighted that if Angel were in fields like politics, banking, or the oil industry, his financial success would be readily acknowledged. However, due to his identity as a comedian, some individuals tend to doubt his substantial earnings.
Alibaba advocated for a shift in perception, urging people not to underestimate the potential financial success within the comedy profession. He stressed the need to recognize the significant earnings and achievements possible within this creative field.
Mark Angel, known for his signature comedic style and viral skits, continues to maintain a low-profile approach to his wealth, a factor contributing to the ongoing underestimation of his financial prowess.
