Bola Sokunbi Net Worth 2026

No reputable publisher has released a net worth estimate for Bola Sokunbi, and the figures on older profile sites ($21 million in one place, $15 million in another) had no source. What is documented is the business behind her income: Sokunbi founded Clever Girl Finance, one of the largest personal finance platforms for women in the U.S., and has written a series of money books for Wiley, most recently Clever Girl Millionaire in March 2026.

What is Bola Sokunbi's net worth?

There is no sourced figure. Clever Girl Finance is privately held and does not publish revenue. The old page's income table, which put her daily income at $20,000 while giving a yearly total of $750,000, contradicted itself and had no source; it has been removed. So has the claim that she worked for ADP's insurance agency, which could not be verified.

What she has said publicly about her own money is how she started: in a 2020 Motley Fool Answers interview she described saving more than $100,000 in three years on a mid-level salary in New York City, and starting her company after being turned down by investors and banks.

Where the money comes from

Clever Girl Finance

Clever Girl Finance publishes free personal finance courses, articles, videos and a podcast for women, and offers one-on-one mentor calls and an online community, according to its about page. Sokunbi is founder and CEO and leads a staff of editors, mentors and freelance writers. Free platforms of this kind typically earn money from advertising, affiliate partnerships and sponsorships; the company does not disclose its figures. It has been recognized with a financial wellbeing award from Affinity Federal Credit Union for its work in New Jersey.

Books

Her books are published by Wiley. They include Clever Girl Finance: Ditch Debt, Save Money and Build Real Wealth, released in an expanded second edition in November 2024 (352 pages, $24.95 in paperback, per Wiley), and Clever Girl Millionaire, released March 31, 2026. The 2026 book frames wealth around four pillars: earned income, investing, real estate and entrepreneurship, its launch announcement says. Her website calls her a six-time best-selling author. Royalty income is not disclosed.

Speaking and media

Sokunbi works as a paid keynote speaker for companies and schools, her site says, and has appeared on Good Morning America, ABC News Live and Live! with Kelly and Mark. CNBC has quoted her on student loans and credit, and she hosts the weekly Clever Girls Know podcast, which passed its 440th episode in September 2026.

Career

Before Clever Girl Finance, Sokunbi held a salaried corporate job in New York City, as she told the Motley Fool. Her public bios describe her as a Certified Financial Education Instructor (CFEI), investor and podcaster. She has written about her own early mistakes, including credit card debt and cashing out a 401(k) early, which she covers in Clever Girl Millionaire. The book also walks readers through student loan decisions, judging earning potential and building early investing habits, and argues that saving creates stability while investing and ownership create freedom. It is aimed at women and first-generation wealth builders, and pushes back on hustle culture and fixed timelines for getting rich.

Early life and education

Sokunbi talked about growing up in Nigeria in her Motley Fool interview, and the 2026 book's publicity describes her growing up without inherited financial knowledge in a family finding its way through an unfamiliar financial system. The old page said she earned a bachelor's from Webster University and a master's from Webster Vienna Private University; we could not confirm either in a reliable source, so they have been removed.

Family

Reliable sources do not name a spouse or give details of her family. The old page's section on a husband had no source and has been removed, as have its age, height and weight figures.

Net worth compared

Other founders of content and media businesses on this site include Allison Maslan, an entrepreneur and business coach. Like Sokunbi, her income comes from a private company, books and speaking, and no reputable outlet has published a net worth.

Why no estimate is given

A reliable estimate would need Clever Girl Finance's revenue and profit, her book royalties, speaking fees and personal investments. None of these is public. This page will add a figure if a reputable publisher releases one.
