End of an Era as Billionaire Socialite, Bisi Edionseri Died at 89

An established socialite, Bisi Elégbéde-Edionseri, otherwise known as Cash Madam, ruled the social scene for many decades. The woman was also a successful businesswoman and a showstopper whose fame spread beyond the shores of Ogun State, where she lived and operated from.

The highly successful woman ruled the social scene for decades and lived her life in absolute dedication to her first love- fashion, style and beauty.

She was colourful, elegant and sophisticated, and loved the good things of life, which reflected brightly in her choice of clothes and accessories. Even at a ripe age, you cannot help but turn your head in admiration anytime you see her at any event.

It is no exaggeration that she joined the exclusive class of millionaires in the late 70s when she was barely in her 30s.

It is a statement of fact that many musicians benefitted from her largesse at the time. It is worth noting that she got her sobriquet, Cash Madam, from Juju music legend Chief Commander Ebenezer Obey in the 80s, when he dedicated a full musical album to celebrate her success.

She was the definition of colourful and flamboyance, and no party was worthy of its onion if Edionseri was not in attendance.  She rocked the social scenes to the envy of many.

Indeed, the woman with class and panache lived and rose like a colossus over the social circles during her lifetime.

Until news broke last week that she had passed on, many were already wondering when she would slow down. But slowing down was not in her dictionary, as she lived and partied hard till her last days.

Since her death, her relatives have received an avalanche of tributes from top government officials, business executives as well as other notable figures who described her as a beacon of inspiration and a role model for countless individuals.

She was also praised for achieving remarkable success at a young age, demonstrating resilience and ambition that have inspired many in Ogun State and beyond.

She has left a big vacuum with her passing in the social scene, as many wonder who would take her place.
