Being a public figure often means attracting a lot of opportunities for making money, but not everyone has the business sense to capitalize on such. However, some of our ZAlebs have honed this skill at a young age, and we couldn't be prouder.
So gather around, ladies and gentlemen. We have a list of some of the richest, young ZAlebs. The best part? They're all under 40, and single!
Cassper Nyovest
Musician Refiloe Maele Phoolo who goes by the stage name Cassper Nyovest, is likely the richest rapper in Mzansi.
As of 2021, he owns two Bentleys and a Mercedes Benz, both status symbols that he is swimming in money. And all of this he achieved young, as the rapper is only 30 years old.
While he got his start as a musician, it is likely his record label, Family Tree Records, that spurred him to such financial heights. He also has multiple brand endorsements including Ciroc and Samsung South Africa. In addition, he owns a sneaker company called Root of Fame, and has a liquor brand called Billiato.
As of the writing of this article, Don Billiato is single.

While he has since moved to the United States, Trevor Noah is one of Mzansi's proudest sons. The 34 year old comedian has managed to amass impressive wealth.

Pearl Thusi
We have no choice but to stan our multitalented queen, Pearl Thusi. She is a model, a radio and TV host, and occasionally graces music videos. And she is only 30 years old!
