Nollywood star Mercy Johnson Okojie has humorously lamented her financial status after Elon Musk and popular YouTuber Mr Beast disclosed how much they make daily and per minute, respectively.
Mr Beast recently took to X (formerly Twitter) to reveal that he earns $1 million every day. In response, tech billionaire Elon Musk claimed he makes the same amount—but in just one minute.
Reacting to their staggering earnings, Mercy Johnson expressed her feelings about her own financial journey. The actress jokingly shared that her prophet had prophesied she would achieve great financial success last year, but she feels life had other plans.
“Omo, na pikin and play na him I con do for this life ooo. Chai… and prophet see vision for me ooo. Say I must hit money last year,” she wrote on social media.
The post quickly garnered reactions from fans and followers, with many sharing their own lighthearted takes:
– @wf_khalifa: “I make mine per seconds 😂.”

– @chef_ivyjones1: “Take heart, sis. We all here to play 😂😂😂😂. Elon can’t pressure me.”
– @_cherii_coco: “Elon no dey do coded 😂😂😂. He dey make people know say he get the money…. 😂.”
Despite the humor, Mercy’s post sparked discussions on wealth, success, and the pressure to compare oneself to others in an increasingly connected world.
