Ilebaye Odiniya, popularly known as Baye, the recent winner of Big Brother Naija All Stars, has set ambitious financial goals, aspiring to become the world’s ‘youngest richest woman’.
News About Nigeria reports that Baye, who proudly identifies as the ‘Gen Z Baddie’, shared her aspirations during a recent interview with Arise TV.
In her own words, she stated, “I would say I wanted to become the biggest star everybody would recognise and also the youngest richest woman. So, that was my goal.”
Prior to entering the Big Brother Naija All Stars House, Baye had been saving money to kickstart her business venture.
On October 1, 2023, Baye clinched the Big Brother Naija All Stars title, along with a prize of N120 million and a brand-new car.
In a recent interview, she expressed her intention to give a portion of her prize money as a tithe to her church before making any personal expenditures.
Speaking with Saturday Beats shortly after being presented with her prize, she said she didn’t rely on any strategy to win the show. Instead, she relied on prayers.
“I did not use any strategy (to win the game). The only strategy I used was to pray to God. I never imagined that I would win the competition.
“During my first participation on the show (in 2022), I spent only three weeks. When I realised that they were bringing stars (for this season), I thought I would last for a maximum of three weeks. I did not know I would be the winner,” she said.
Asked if she had any regrets about her time in the house, Ilebaye said, “The only regret is that I wish I danced very well at the parties. But, there was so much fun and adventure in the house. So, I really don’t have any regret.”
