Bright Okpocha, famously known as Basket mouth, is one of the richest Comedians in Nigeria. He is from Abia State, Nigeria.
Basketmouth is a household name, and with a whopping net worth of N2.34 billion, he has become a force to be reckoned with in the comedy industry. He knows his onion when it comes to making people laugh.
He has hosted comedy in Nigeria and abroad.
Basketmouth is not just a comedy guru, star actor, and a talisman in coordinating events and ceremonies – his versatility has carved a niche for him in the entertainment industry. He is great in interpreting roles perfectly and comically.
Basketmouth earned the honour of the National Comedy Award and the awards for Best Stand-up Comedian of the Year in 2005 and 2006 in the early days of his comedy career.
His comedy career has also opened him up to major ambassadorial deals. Currently, a Glo ambassador, Basketmouth earns nothing less than N2 million from his deals. That’s huge, I know.
He hosted a comedy challenge on Instagram called the #TwoThingsChallenge, which sparked an uproar from fans after a young fan posted a video of him saying nasty things about sex with a child in close view in the video.
He recently got separated from his wife.
