Yomi Denzel Nicolas Olaniyi (born 1 August 1996), is a Swiss entrepreneur and YouTuber.

Early life, education and beginnings

Yomi Denzel Olaniyi was born in Lausanne, Switzerland, into a family of modest means. His father was an undocumented immigrant from Nigeria; his mother, who had no formal education, worked in human resources in a large company.[6] He is the brother of former basketball player Kaanu Olaniyi. During his youth, Olaniyi was an amateur football player.[6]

At the age of 14, he launched his YouTube channel with gaming content. He discovered drop shipping in 2017, after creating his online marketing agency.[7][8] He reached the rank of sergeant in the army.[6] He studied at HEC Lausanne[9] and completed a semester at Harvard University.[10][11]

Career

He became a millionaire in less than a year with e-commerce and online training business.[12][13] He builds his fame through millions of dollars in sales from dropshipping on the Shopify platform[14][15] and by running contests on Instagram designed to win prestigious prizes.[16]

Mindeo

Since 2018, he has been the founder of an online training company, renamed Mindeo in 2022.[17][18]

Minea

In 2021, he founded a SaaS, named Minea, which aims to analyze data for e-commerce.[17]

Association with Oussama Ammar

Since 2022, Olaniyi has been frequently seen in the company of Oussama Ammar, his co-host on the Sans Permission podcast[19] and co-producer of the Business Pro online training course focused on artificial intelligence.[20]

Ammar is currently under suspicion by his former company, The Family, for alleged misappropriation of several million euros.[21] There are claims that a portion of these funds may have been laundered at Le Domaine d'Ablon, a luxury hotel resort in Normandy[22] of which Olaniyi is also a shareholder.[23]

Personal life

Controversy

An altercation reportedly occurred between Ahmed Harroun and AD Laurent, both former reality TV contestants, and Yomi Denzel's team on August 21, 2023, at Palm Club, a nightclub located in Cannes (France).[24] In a video posted on internet, a woman wearing a white evening dress tries to extricate herself from the melee of brawlers by holding her face, visibly bleeding.[24] Two people sustained minor injuries.[25]
