Hollywood rich: Two times richer than Sizwe Dhlomo, Tbo Touch’s net worth leaves Mzansi puzzled
Dupped as the best on-air radio presenter in Mzansi, Tbo Touch has been winning big of late. With an illustrious career spanning years, he has become South Africa’s finest and the world at large. His thrust into the limelight came when he joined Metro FM back then. However, on his first stay with Metro FM, he was said to be the highest-paid on-air personality. Well, in the mix of things, the two parted ways after Tbo Touch was shown the exit door.
He has the plug and the bling too. Of late, he has been making all sorts of headlines after he made his much-talked-about debut on Metro FM after having a fallout with the same station barely 6-years ago.
Metro FM sent Tbo Touch packing after allegations that he refused to endorse a Hyundai advert. In the wake of his fallout with SABC, he established his own Touch HD company. Rumour has it that Hyundai advert saw SABC losing at least R16 million worth of advertising.
Not so long ago, he hogged headlines for the wrong reasons after he revealed that he was the richest on-air media personality. Mzansi connected the dots. Unconfirmed reports show he has a whooping net worth of around R580 million. It seems that Tbo Touch doesn’t cash in from radio gigs but also doubles as a business mogul. He has business interests in PR and media management.
Hollywood rich: Two times richer than Sizwe Dhlomo, Tbo Touch’s net worth leaves Mzansi puzzled
Sizwe Dhlomo is one of South Africa’s richest radio personalities. Dhlomos thrust into the limelight came in the backdrop of his presenting gig with MTV Base. A few years later he made headlines when he joined to co-present Live on SABC1 alongside Minnie Dlamini and Bonang Matheba.
Despite being one of the most established on-air radio personalities he has several streams of income at his disposal. Rumour mill has it that a huge chunk of his net worth comes from farming rather than gig payouts.
At their farm rumour mill has it that Sizwe is the one in charge of cattle and horse ranching. Rumour mill has it that he has an estimated net worth of around R290 million. Against this backdrop, Mzansi has been more than convinced that Touch is two times richer.
