 Thanks to recent developments, pun intended, R&B singer Akon has become one of the more interesting real estate entrepreneurs on the planet. However, it has relatively little to do with the Atlanta homes he's continually trying to move off of, even as nice as they are. No, Akon's real splash has come with his decision to build an entire housing market by his own damn self for millions of people by creating a real-life Wakanda city in his home country of Senegal and Africa. And today, we're gonna take a look at all of Akon's real estate. In these videos, we don't reveal any addresses and even though I've done a house tour of my own place, please do not show up at any private residences because it's not safe for anyone. Akon is a singer, songwriter, producer and more who rose to fame in 2004 with the release of Locked Up, followed by the single Lonely. At the time of this recording, he has an estimated net worth of 80 million dollars and it's said he's using that to build his own housing market in Africa. So two or three years from now, if you just so happen to be visiting that area of the world, you could find yourself staying at an Akon-sponsored resort and booking time at a five-star Akon spa while paying for the whole thing with your very own Akon currency. Hey guys, it's Kara the Vampire Slayer back with another exclusive house tour here on Pima Entertainment, this one looking at the homes and plans of Akon.

Akon started off his career by getting everyone to smack that, but if things wind up going to the way he wants them to in the future, that'll be one of the last things people think of when they hear the name Akon 30 years from now. Before we get into the biggest project of his life, Akon City, let's take a look at his earliest flirtations with the real estate game, his two homes located in the great state of Georgia. First up is a massively sprawling complex that was built in 1990 and is located at the tail end of a cul-de-sac in a gated community known as Sandy Springs. This 14,994-square-foot mansion sits on 13.3 acres of land and features six bedrooms, six full bathrooms, as well as two half baths. It also comes with a little bit of well, everything. Not only are the interiors lofty and bright, they offer a sleek white-on-white motif, something that we're definitely going to be seeing again before this story is through. Beyond the front door of the home is a double-height foie with a spectacular spiral staircase. Meanwhile, glass walls surround the primary living spaces, allowing for all that ample sunlight to filter in. There is also a large living room alongside a dining room with a built-in bar and of course, a spacious chef's kitchen. If you ever find yourself staying inside one of the home's two guest houses, I mean, I have no idea why you would. That's why I said if. So if you're ever visiting, you can also check out the endless entertainment options, like either one of the indoor or outdoor pools. Finally, if you just happen to be stopping by and suddenly find yourself in dire need of filling up your gas tank before you go, don't worry. Aikon's got you covered with the single weirdest purchase he said that he's ever made. That's right. You can fill up your tank at Aikon's very own Chevron branded gas pump. Once you're done with all that, why not spend some time on the indoor basketball slash tennis court? I'm sure Aikon won't mind. Odds are he won't even be here anyways because only three months after purchasing this place for $2.6 million, he turned right around and listed it again. Why? Well, probably because this house is definitely something of a fixer upper. But still, what a fixer upper, am I right? Next up is Aikon's home located in Alpharetta, Georgia. It was only about a year after purchasing his first Atlanta home that Aikon scooped up this bad boy for $1.65 million. Part of the Atlanta National Golf Club, this mansion is situated on 4.6 acres of land, and if you thought Aikon's last home had a lot of white in it, well, this one is all white everything. In fact, it kind of resembles something out of Frozen, no? All six bedrooms, 11 bathrooms, and even the staggering nine car garage feature the same icy white motif. So you'll have to really be a fan of white, not to mention one of the cleanest people on planet Earth to get the most out of living here. In terms of what the home features, well, it's got a spectacular exterior with a lagoon pool and resort-like vibes emanating from the surrounding patio furniture that clearly spared no expense. This includes some gorgeous cabanas. Meanwhile, on the inside, he's got a killer living room with a baby grand piano and complimentary furniture with a silver finish. There's also an absolutely jaw-dropping dining room that looks like it's fit for a kink, especially with that gigantic chandelier hanging just above the table. Of course, no self-respecting recording artists would be without their own in-home studio, and you can bet that Aikon comes with all the necessary bells and whistles. Despite the fact that this residence has clearly been custom-made for Aikon, he's still had this home on the market for quite some time, asking for $7 million to complete the sale. All right, now that we have an idea of where Aikon stays when he's stateside, let's take a look at the thousands of homes he's looking to build for others in his home nation of Senegal. These days, Aikon is spending most of his time moving forward with his plans to create a $6 billion smart city in the country of Senegal. Aikon City is the place where one day be known as being hyped as a real-life Wakanda, a technological paradise that construction will begin on in the very near future. This 2,000-acre metropolis was first hyped by Aikon back in 2018 and is expected to run on clean energy, no doubt supplied by Aikon's other business venture, Aikon Lighting Africa. As you can see in these images, Aikon City is going to sport a futuristic aesthetic that will match all of the cutting-edge technology Aikon is pumping into the place. Designed by Baccarian Associates Development Consultants, this city is characterized by its gleaming skyscrapers that have an almost surreal feel. You know, kind of like a Ridley Scott filmed mixed with a neck massager, if you know what I mean. Aikon has promised the city will feature shopping malls, schools, music and film recording studios, eco-friendly tourist resorts, a sports stadium, a casino, open markets, restaurants, high-rise condos and its very own currency, Aikon. Yes, that's exactly what it sounds like, a cryptocurrency developed by Aikon. Man, he's really thought of everything for this place, hasn't he? As I mentioned a moment or two ago, Aikon City will be located in Aikon's home country of Senegal where he spent much of his childhood before moving to the states at the age of 11. It's Aikon's hope that with this new city, he's gonna stimulate the local economy and create a much needed jobs for his people. He also hopes that it will prove to be a place where black Americans can move to if facing racial injustice in America. So how is Aikon affording all of this? Sure, his $80 million net worth is mightily impressive but it's hardly a drop in the bucket for a task this big. To make sure his dream becomes a reality, Aikon has teamed with Julian Mualé, a Kenyan technology entrepreneur who has reportedly invested $4 billion into this project. That still leaves Aikon a few billion short of the necessary $6 billion he's projecting but the plan is for construction to get underway soon. As for right now, the only thing located in Aikon City is this ceremonial rock. So now we've taken a look at Aikon's homes in Georgia over the years and his plans for his Aikon city in Africa. Aikon has said that if this endeavor becomes a success, then he plans on franchising the concept to other countries in Africa. What do you guys think? Is there any chance we could all get to visit Aikon City sometime in the next five years? And let me know your thoughts on Aikon's Georgia homes as well or what your favorite aspects were.
