Nollywood these days is about how you “package” yourself on the internet and social outings. Sometimes it determines how much you are being paid as an actress and if you are classed as a premium or a normal actress. While some actresses are premium but prefer to live the lowkey life, others have embraced the life-camera-action lifestyle and it has become a way of life.
We dug deep some of these actresses. In no particular order
5. Rukky Sanda
Rukky Sanda is probably the queen of luxury lifestyle right now in Nollywood. She doesn’t give interviews that much so little is known about the actress. Her age is not even known, but she is believed to be in her 30s or approaching.
Born in Ikorodu as Rukayat Akinsanya, Rukky doesn’t travel that much, but when she does luxury shopping is the minimum expectation. Her outfits are always top notch and suits her slender figure although she doesn’t grace the red carpet frequently.
Peep some items Rukky has gotten herself, from YSL to Louboutins, Chanel, Valentino among the designer brands she rocks.
4. Ini Edo:
The song ‘Emi Ni Baller’ by Chidinma was probably dedicated to Ini Edo. Since her divorce in 2014 the actress has gone from an actress to a super flashy lady thanks to the purchase of a Mercedes G-Wagon, Range Rover and a mansion in 2015 situated in one of the most expensive areas in Lagos.
Well, what do you expect from an actress-turned politician. In 2016, Ini Edo was appointed by the Akwa Ibom State government as the Special Adviser to the governor on Tourism.
Go Girl!!
3. Chika Ike
Chika Ike is a well documented traveler more than she is a leading actress in Nollywood these days. She is also an entrepreneur (CEO of Fancy Nancy Collections) and philanthropist. She is a UN Ambassador, Refugee Ambassador for Displaced persons and founder of the Chika Ike (Help A Child) Foundation. Chika ike is the brand Ambassador of Bullet Energy Drink.

Chika is probably the youngest on this list at 33, she has slowed down on her travelling so far this year concentrating on business duties, like every other summer, Chika Ike will be away from the country living the kind of lifestyle you see below:
2. Omotola:
Marriage hasn’t stopped Omotola Jalade, MFR from living the flashy paparazzi lifestyle just yet. Aparty from being a superstar actress she is into several other things such as music, philanthropy and many more. Feel free to refer to her as a chief after all she bagged one in Ondo state last year.

1. Genevieve Nnaji
The Imo state born beauty rose to fame a long time ago but has been able to retain the buzz. Genevieve thrilled the whole entertainment scene after he emerged as the first Nollywood billionaire after selling her blockbuster movie, ‘Lionheart’ to Netflix in the figures of N1,385,100,000 ($3.8 million).
Her choice of luxury wears has reduced since she relaunched her clothing line, St. Genevieve, that didn’t stop her from spending the new year in far away Jamaica and United States. She is known for her simple yet stunning outfits and a lot of Nigerian women go to her Instagram page for everyday-wears inspiration. This is where Genevieve stands out from the rest of them.
For most people she was the most dressed at the 2015 African Magic Viewers Choice Awards.
