Nollywood is evolving and has given room for many multi-talented actors and actresses to grace the scenes of its many produced movies. But despite the influx of new faces, the likes of Regina Daniels will always ring a bell. Not only has she made her way to become one of the biggest fishes in the movie industry, but Regina has also become one of the most talked-about people in the country. Believe it or not, the young star is now listed among the richest Nollywood actresses, a list that includes the likes of Genevieve Nnaji, Mercy Johnson Okojie, and Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde. Regina Daniels reportedly has a net worth of N580 million that won’t have been amassed if not for her successful career.
How Regina Daniels Built Her N580 Million Fortune?
Regina’s huge financial earnings won’t be surprising to many who are already aware of her talent and beauty. While much of her income comes from her acting career, the young actress is believed to have made some money from venturing into some other businesses. However, a higher percentage of her wealth is said to have come from her marriage to multi-millionaire businessman Ned Nwoko.
She Began Her Acting Career as a Child
Being a famous child actor takes lots of hard work. The time, dedication, and intelligence that a child actor must maintain in order to understand the finer points of acting deserve plenty of praise and celebration. But Regina was able to scale through it all and is now successful.
Born 10 October 2000 to a family in Delta State, Nigeria, Regina Daniels was raised by her mother Rita who is also a familiar face in the Nigerian film industry. Regina went on to make her acting debut at the age of seven, playing Onyinye in Marriage of Sorrow. As a child, the young actress had an eye for the big screen, hence her choice of Anjelina Jolie as her role model. Her first movie role earned her a take-home pay of about 10,000 Nigerian Naira.

It only took Regina Daniels a few years to become conversant with the rudiments of the arts. Her big break came in 2010 when she got the chance to feature in a movie titled Miracle Child. The movie not only got her sharing the screen with big shots like Chinwe Owoh and Chinwetalu Agu, but it also got her more financial income plus bigger roles in the movies.

Regina Daniels may be popular as an actress but the beautiful star has some other business ventures that could have helped in securing her the huge amount she is worth.
In February 2020, the talented actress launched Regina Magazine which according to reviews, is a timely masterpiece that tells the story of the ingenuity and strong will of the Nigerian woman. Content of the magazine combines celebrity and entertainment news, fashion, style, poise, glamour, fascinating life stories, and sometimes a little dose of politics.
In addition to her magazine, Regina also has a collaboration going with a fashion accessory line called Sapphire Time. The actress herself advertised the business on her Instagram page and it appears to be very lucrative.
The actress has also set up a charity organization – Regina Daniels Foundation – which aims at giving back to the community and providing for the poor, orphaned, and physically challenged children.

Regina Daniels became the talk of the town in April 2019 when she got married to billionaire Ned Nwoko.
