Meet The Nigerian “In Bed With” Petroleum Minister and lives a lavish life style
Multimillionaire businessman Aluko, co-founder of the Made In Africa Foundation who was recently seen lunching in Paris with Naomi Campbell, was among a group of wealthy businessmen at DiCaprio’s 39th birthday party at Tao Downtown late Sunday night. Nigerian oil, gas and aviation tycoon Kola Aluko was among a host of billionaires at the event. He is reportedly said to be a large scale hustler, private-partner oil robber-baron and money launderer for Nigeria’s oil minister, Diezani Madukwe and President Goodluck Jonathan, recently spotted with the British Naomi Campbell, implicated in large scale billion dollar frauds, is a usual suspect in the latest $7billion NNPC, Swiss Oil company explosive fraud in Nigeria’s news headlines. Kola Aluko’s wealth is modestly estimated at well over $100 millions dollars according to SuperYacht.com. He buys up properties in Las Vegas and other top spots for millions of dollars at will; his wealth stolen from Nigeria’s oil sector, runs into billions of dollars. Kola owns the Galactica Star yacht, which he acquired in June of 2013. Galactica Star is a one-of-a-kind custom built Super Yacht. The 65m long boat is the newest and largest Heesen yacht ever built and goes for a whopping $50-100+ million! Beyonce and JayZ celebrated her 32nd birthday on one in Italy this year.
He founded Fossil Resources in 2001 and turned it into a formidable force inside the Nigerian energy sector. A passionate car racing enthusiast, Aluko has competed in major European races with the Swiss team Kessel racing. In June 2012, he reportedly purchased two ultra-modern luxury estates in Beverly Hills at $40 million. In December 2012, Aluko stepped on to the podium at Rome’s Vallelunga circuit to celebrate third place in the Endurance Champions Cup. It was a defining moment in his motor racing career as he stood next to one of his idols, former F1 driver Giancarlo Fisichella. The race at Vallelunga was the fourth and final race of the Cup, which was won by Fisichella and Italy’s AF Corse. Aluko’s Kessel Racing team, with co-pilots Thomas Kemenater and Maurizio Mediani, were consistent throughout the six-hour race which is as much a feat of endurance as of skill.
Sources close to him claim that his wrist watch collection is to die for; he has a particular one that cost him a whooping $1 million. The highflying entrepreneur believes that the home depicts the quality of soul possessed by a man hence his acquisition of choice apartments and mansions in the most highbrow areas across the world. He owns expensive and tastefully furnished homes in the most exotic locations including Monaco, Spain, Los Angeles, New York in United States of America, London, United Kingdom to mention a few. His home in New York, USA is said to be located at one of the most luxurious and most expensive flats in the world with a super spectacular view. The one in at LA mansions in Beverly Hills, is said to be on a hill all by itself and it is padded by the best of designer home stuff one can imagine. The apartment cost him about $40 Million dollars. He once flew in a renowned diamond jeweler from New York, USA and commissioned him to build a $2.5 million diamond collar for his second wife, Teni Edu. He had seen the same necklace on one of the Trumps and had asked for it, but since they didn’t have it for retail sale it had to be built for madam. So jeweler was flown in on Kola’s jet, madam’s neck was measured and then collar was later delivered made to measure. At Kola’s birthday at one of his private homes in Los Angeles, California last year, the party was hosted by 2 of the best pop icons in the US, in the persons of Jay Z & P-Diddy. Both stars were the ones that sent out the invitations for the party. Whenever Kola visits his favourite joint, 1 Oak, it’s like the late Michael Jackson has come to bless the joint with his distinguished presence. We hear that the owner waits to come to take him in, and remains at his beck and call all through, while the spotlight is focused on him and his guests till he leaves. He is probably one of there most valued customer. Like someone said and we quote ”he is the most interesting black character he has come across in a long while”. Kola supposedly single handedly sponsored Kanye West’s Paris Fashion sometime ago.
