R&B sensation Akon is facing a significant personal and financial challenge as his wife, Tomeka Thiam, files for divorce after 29 years of marriage. The divorce petition, filed on September 11, 2025, in Los Angeles Superior Court, cites irreconcilable differences and demands a staggering €100 million settlement, approximately $110 million USD.
Court documents reveal that Akon’s personal bank account holds only $10,000, sparking widespread debate and speculation. According to reports, the bulk of Akon’s wealth is allegedly stored in his mother’s account, fueling suspicions that the singer may have strategically shielded his assets .
Akon’s business ventures and investments span multiple industries, including:
Music: Chart-topping hits and collaborations with top artists
Real Estate: Substantial holdings across Africa and the United States

Tomeka Thiam seeks primary custody of their 17-year-old daughter, Zaara, and spousal support. Akon has not publicly commented on the divorce or financial claims. The case may become one of the most closely watched celebrity divorce trials in recent history, with extensive financial discovery and potential jurisdictional disputes .
