”Before you envy my success, learn my pain!” Actress Funke Adesiyan On How She Became A Millionaire At 17 And Lost Everything At 27

One of the most gorgeous and ambitious Yoruba actresses Funke Adesiyan has revealed how she made her first million when she was just 17-years-old, built her first house at the age of 19, and almost lost everything at age 27.

Sharing her story via her Instagram page, she said:

”Let me tell you a story. I am a product of God’s Grace. I was the Games Prefect at my elementary school, I was the Senior Prefect of the secondary school I attended. I started modelling at 13.

I started business at 14. At 17 I made my first million. At 19, I built my first house. At 24, I already have OND, a diploma and a degree. At 25, I ran a presidential campaign for one of the greatest men Nigeria is blessed with, Mallam Shekarau.

At 26, I opened a fashion emporium in my home town which cost me over 20 million naira then.

But guess what, at 27, I had lost almost all. This was the period I knew people for what they are. God used this period to prepare me for a better tomorrow. Instead of sulking, I looked inward and found a renewed strength within me. I sold my car, started all over but this time, quietly.

I found a new calling. To live my live for people who are truly in need and have nothing to even give you in return but a most sincere prayer to God almighty.

To the glory of God today, I am the CEO of four resourceful companies with interest in Importation, Oil and Gas, Integrated services and Farming. Guess what? I’m yet to begin! Whatever your disappointment, see it as an opportunity. Never be scared to begin again. Everyday is always a new day!!!
