by Many social media users have started reacting following a new clip of late Herbert Wigwe 20-bedroom Lagos home worth N30billion that leaks online.
Recall that Herbert Wigwe, the former CEO of Access Bank, tragically died in a helicopter crash on February 9, 2024, in California, USA.
The crash occurred near Boulder City, Nevada, while he was traveling with his wife, Chizoba Wigwe, their son, and Abimbola Ogunbanjo, the former chairman of the Nigerian Exchange Group (NGX). Unfortunately, none of the passengers survived.
Recently, 90-year-old father of late Herbert Wigwe takes 26-year-old granddaughter to court over property dispute, a development that left many tongues wagging online.
However, the aerial view clip of Herbert Wigwe’s N30bn newly built Ikoyi was a three-minute tour video of the outside and inside of the 20-bedroom Lagos mansion.
Herbert Wigwe’s Ikoyi mansion sits on 23,000 square meters of land. This is the same land mass the Ikeja City Mall occupies.
When did Herbert Wigwe build this mansion?
According to reports from Craneburg, the engineering firm responsible for constructing the mansion, the project took 22 months to complete.
Herbert Wigwe reportedly moved in late last year, intending for it to be his retirement home, alongside his other luxury properties across Lagos.
Popular Twitter real estate commentator Oke Umurhohwo, also known as Oke Stalyf, estimated that an infrastructure of such scale would cost no less than $15 to $20 million.
According to Oke Stalyf’s estimation, the mansion’s cost in naira would be approximately ₦10.33 billion.

imokeubi : Now that he is dead 💀 I will not pay that my loan again 🤔🤔 May soul Rest In Peace.
amawuamawu : Vanity upon vanity all is vanity. I hate human insatiable quest and greed for vain things. How much did he give back to society and the last time i checked, nothing to show for his investment on human capital development and humanity. A Blackman mentality is really poor and black. I don’t envy him for his life style but detest and derang humans not thinking of life after death. May his soul rest in peace, though!
rotimi_joseph_ 56w: ALWAYS REMEMBER THE LAW OF SOWING AND REPEAN✍️✍️✍️✍️ VANITY UPON VANITY ALL IS VANITY 😭😭😭😈😈👹👹.
jujonsjyannick: Now Wigwe can not take this beautiful mansion to wherever he’s now vanity!! lesson to learned my people… rather learn to help less privileged and the needy in our country Nigeria 🇳🇬 🙏.
nathcallistafoodhoneyandoil: He is just like the rich foo in th bible that build such edifices for himself and said to himself now everything is ready all he need is to eat, drink, swim, gym, see the sea from either of the luxury bedrooms thinking only about himself. The same things was said about him oh foolish man, you will not live long in this luxury mansion. Let us learn from this nothing we bring to this world and nothing shall we take from it, your life will be demanded from you and the mansion won’t be able to save you or big enough to hide you from death. When you are reach towards yourself and yourself alone, you are poor toward God.
eniola_aworinde : I just wish these so call bug men in Nigeria will allow us to breath, this money they stole from us would have been good,if it’s invested back in Nigeria. Vanity upon vanity, he’s no more to enjoy what he rubbish us with 😢.
