‘The Billionaire’s Wife’ records viewership success on Showmax
The Billionaires Wife started airing in March 2023
Ghanaian Showmax Original ‘The Billionaire’s Wife’ is now the most-watched drama series on Showmax in Ghana. It has been the number one most-watched title on Showmax in Ghana every week since its launch in March 2023.
For producers Danny Adotey and Collins Amlalo, this success is a dream come true, and a sign of even greater things to come.
“It is the dream of every producer to see their work go far and be recognised for their efforts. We are proud to have done this project for Showmax but to hear that it is the most watched title ever on Showmax in Ghana gives us such an unexplainable feeling.
“It makes us forget all the filming challenges we went through to get this done and pushes us further to want to perfect all the minor errors we may have overlooked,” Mr Amlalo said in a press statement.
Lead actor Kingsley Yamoah said he was completely lost when he heard about the viewership success.
“Never has any work I have done permeated my soul and lit it up as ‘The Billionaire’s Wife’ has done. It’s a very humbling feeling to know how appreciative the public is of our work. I believe this will open more doors and create more opportunities from Showmax to actors in Ghana,” he said.
The actor plays the role of a man “no-nonsense” billionaire who inspires fear to the point that everyone around him freezes or scampers when he passes by.
For lead actress Andriana Akua Amegbor, a newcomer in the Ghanaian film and TV industry, the journey has just begun.
“I feel so blessed to have it begin like this. This achievement makes me believe that God is always with me, no matter how alone I feel, because it was at my loneliest hour that I asked for an acting opportunity. And he blew my mind with this project, which Ghanaian viewers are appreciating by watching,” she said.
Amegbor plays the role of a 19-year-old who, after marrying an old billionaire (Yamoah), finds herself locked in an endless battle for survival, where backstabbers, schemers and faceless enemies will stop at nothing to prove she is a fraud and a gold digger.

The Christmas festivities were nothing short of fun and excitement, especially for patrons of Dodi World in Akosombo in the Eastern Region.
A major highlight was a memorable voyage aboard the famous MV Dodi Princess II, a 150-capacity pleasure boat, which sailed to the scenic Dodi Island, an 84-hectare natural haven.
Among the patrons was a vibrant social group known as ‘Weekend Day Out’, which brings together individuals from diverse backgrounds and workplaces to interact, share ideas and enjoy memorable leisure experiences.
On December 26, the group joined hundreds of other fun lovers to fill the vessel to capacity for what many described as an experience of a lifetime.
The over five-hour journey from Dodi World through to Dodi Island was electrifying. Patrons enjoyed breath-taking rare views of the island’s rich natural scenery and wildlife before returning onboard for the cruise back to the starting point.
The atmosphere was further enlivened by music from DJs and a live band, complemented by an array of drinks and grilled meals, ensuring both young and old had something to cheer about throughout the voyage.
For members of the Weekend Day Out group, the trip served as a joyful reunion with friends after a year of professional commitments, while also providing an opportunity to plan future adventures in the coming year.
Speaking after the event, one of the patrons, Ms Gloria Yaa Baby, said although she had embarked on the voyage several times, the most recent experience was particularly breathtaking and memorable.
“This one was different, with more people and interactive sessions. It gave me many reasons to return and experience the fun again with the Weekend Day Out group,” she stated.
With another exciting adventure scheduled for March this year, she encouraged Ghanaians to make time out of their busy schedules to relax, unwind and enjoy life.
