Krg the Don, a renowned and sometimes controversial musician in Kenya known for his dancehall hits, has carved out a notable position in the country’s music scene. Beyond his musical success, he stands as the wealthiest musician in Kenya with a net worth reportedly around Ksh. 4 billion.
The journey to Krg’s financial success began during his high school years. In an interview with Milele FM, Krg revealed that he first encountered financial success at the age of 17 while still a student. He recounted how, while attending school in Uganda, his parents would provide him with funds for his expenses, often leaving him with a surplus of around Ksh. 50,000 as pocket money upon arrival at school.
Krg developed a knack for saving this money diligently. Moreover, his amiable nature and trustworthiness among his peers led him to also manage money for others, further bolstering his savings. By the end of each term, he would find himself with approximately Ksh. 100,000. He would use these savings to thrift clothes which he would then sell back in Kenya, often tripling his initial investment and earning about Ksh. 300,000.
This entrepreneurial approach continued to bear fruit, and by the time he reached Form 2, he had amassed his first million. After completing high school at the age of 19, Krg purchased his first car, marking a significant milestone in his early financial independence.
With a growing nest egg at his disposal, Krg began to invest wisely. He invested in a substantial piece of land and ventured into buying and selling cars for profit. His business acumen continued to expand, leading him to diversify into multiple enterprises. Today, in addition to his music career, Krg oversees a thriving club worth Ksh. 200 million along Ngong Road, a car dealership, real estate holdings, and milling industries. He resides in a lavish mansion valued at Ksh. 500 million, showcasing his remarkable journey from high school entrepreneur to billionaire.
Krg the Don’s story serves as a testament to the power of entrepreneurship, foresight in investments, and leveraging opportunities to build substantial wealth in Kenya’s competitive music industry and beyond.
