Nigerian pre-teen, Muhammed Awal Mustapha, aka Mompha Junior, is being dubbed the ‘world’s youngest billionaire’ at just 10 years old.
He’s the only son of wealthy internet celebrity, Ismailia Mustapha, aka Mompha Senior.
But with millions already to his name, his father claims Mompha Junior already “paid his dues in full”.

He even gifted his son a mansion on his birthday saying he’d “earned it”.
And that wasn’t his first expensive home.
He was bought his first mansion at the age of just six and, like most billionaires, owns other lavish properties.
His dad called him the “youngest landlord who wears Gucci and still owns a house”.
The proud father gushed over the birthday gift.
“Owning your own home is one of the best feelings ever,” he said.
“It can’t be described in words, it can’t be quantified in money.
“Home ownership is a feeling that makes life’s daily grind worth facing.
“It reassures you that after all the ups and downs you have a place to go to… A place that will never judge you and always invite you with open arms.
“Congrats my son on your new home. Your birthday gift from Daddy.”
And he’s not the first nepo-baby billionaire to get on the property ladder at a young age.
Of course, the ‘world’s youngest billionaire’ has his own Instagram account.
He shares photos of himself in Gucci and Versace.
These are usually standing in front of his Lamborghini Aventador and a cream Bentley Flying Spur – despite not being old enough to drive.
He can also regularly be seen on social media enjoying lavish meals aboard his private jet.
So where does the wealth come from?
Dad-of-two, Mompha Senior, is believed to have earned his fortune from a bureau de change business in Lagos.
He then moved into investments.
And the daddy is just as generous with his younger daughter, Fatima, and his wife who he calls “Cash Madam”.
However, while Mompha Junior’s age is not contested, the term “youngest billionaire” is up for debate.
Estimates by the CEO of a Lagos Bureau De Change put Mompha’s reported net worth at just under $15 million.
When converted into Nigeria Naira, that does make Mompha Junior a billioniare, however.
But it’s not all happy families, as Mompha Senior was arrested in January 2022.
He was accused by Nigeria’s anti-corruption agency of laundering over $12 million.
The case is ongoing.

All Supercar Blondie contributors undergo editorial review and fact-checking to ensure accuracy and authority in automotive journalism. After gaining her BA Hons in French and English at the University of Nottingham, Amelia embarked on a vocational diploma from the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ). This led to numerous opportunities, from interning at Vogue to being on the small team that launched Women’s Health magazine in the UK, which was named the PPA Consumer magazine of the year for three years running. As Health, Beauty and Fitness editor, Amelia personally received a Johnson & Johnson Award and was shortlisted for both PPA and BSME titles. Since then, Amelia has created content for numerous titles and brands, including the Telegraph, 111 Skin, Waitrose, Red magazine, Stylist, and Elle, as well as being Head of Content at Vitality and Editor in Chief at INLondon magazine. “My superpower is translating technical jargon about the mechanical workings of a supercar into a relatable story you’ll want to share with your friends after you’ve read it.” After joining the SB Media family as a senior journalist in September of 2023, Amelia’s role has evolved to see her heading up the SEO output of the editorial team. From researching the most ‘Google-able’ key terms to producing evergreen content - it’s been a time of hard work, growth, and success for the editorial team and the Supercar Blondie website. “I like to think of myself as a ‘method journalist’. In other words: I live and breathe whatever I am writing about. When writing about fitness, I trained as a personal trainer, and as a beauty editor, I completed an ‘expert’ in scent diploma with the Fragrance Foundation. “During my tenure at Supercar Blondie, however, I did something I never thought possible: I passed my driving test at the age of 36. One day I’d love to train as a mechanic to better understand what happens under the hood, too. “My sweet spot is providing readers with a ‘takeaway’ (read: something new they didn’t know before) after reading every one of my stories. While I don’t claim to be an expert in the automotive world, I know the experts and bodies in the field to rely on to provide our readers with an informative and thought-provoking story every time they visit the site.”
