Just how rich is South African DJ Black Coffee? The hitmaker recently took to social media to share a snap wearing a Dior and Amoako Boafo turtleneck and fans were not only left stunned by the design but by the price thereof – it costs an arm and a leg. We did some digging of our own and checked it out on the Dior website it costs $3,300.00 which is a whopping 45k in Rands.
In 2020, the internationally renowned DJ set tongues wagging with his now-deleted post in Munich, Germany. He was wearing the limited-edition Air Jordan 1 High OG Dior sneaker.
The kicks didn’t come cheap. The cost a whopping R460 151.82 ($26 718) on FarFetch. The successful musician and serial business owner was invited to speak at Midem in Cannes and he touched on business in Africa. “We don’t need handouts but for us, it’s still easier to ask for money than to see that we have money already. Africa is ready to create a new Africa, where we create solutions that are by us and for us.” He said.
In May 2020 several reports suggested that he had acquired a stake at Gallo Records. Coffee also has investments in the tech business. A few years back he attained shares the African Technology Compay (Yoco).
In 2017 he bought the popular Zone 6 venue in Soweto. His manager Amaru Da Costa confirmed the exciting news at the time. “We are obviously very excited about the acquisition but what is even more thrilling is the fact that we can further contribute to the culture, this is the main reason we decided to invest in the venue." Other than a few operational improvements, it’s business as usual, Chris Hajibey and his team will continue to manage the venue and people can look forward to the many more exciting upcoming events."
Nathi gets booked week-in-week-out and mostly it’s outside of the continent. He has headlined at Coachella as well as at Ibiza. We’re not sure if he gets the majority of his income from gigs or his many businesses, but what we do know is that he is balling.
