Renowned as Thicky Sandra, Sandra Mbuvi, the daughter of the well-known Mike Sonko and currently a student in London, recently unveiled her impressive collection of cars. Her affinity for sleek and luxurious vehicles is not merely a recent fascination, as she has been enamored with cars since her early childhood.
In a candid interview on the celebrated “Celeb Ride Show” with 2 Mbili TV, Thicky Sandra shared that she initiated her driving journey at the tender age of six, navigating around their expansive estate. Her automotive passion, however, truly manifested when she received her first car at the age of eight, a gift from her father, Mike Sonko. This gesture was in recognition of her fervor for racing, setting her apart from her peers who were not as early adopters of a love for cars.
At the age of 20, Thicky Sandra proudly owns a collection of four high-end cars, including two Range Rovers, a Mercedes Benz, and a Convertible. Additionally, she possesses an LX570 valued at Ksh. 22 million, although she admittedly avoids driving it due to the challenges posed by her height.
When questioned about her choice of company in her cars, Sandra openly admitted that she prefers not to associate with individuals exhibiting “ratchet” behavior, a term synonymous with ghetto behaviors in Kenya. She emphasized that her social circle comprises affluent friends, individuals hailing from prosperous families with whom she attended school in exclusive institutions. Thicky Sandra clarified that she selectively surrounds herself with friends who share a similar affluent background, and those displaying ghetto behaviors need not apply for friendship.
Discussing her financial habits, Sandra revealed that she always ensures she has ample money for her needs. When embarking on a road trip to Mombasa, for instance, she carries Ksh. 200,000, considering it as the appropriate amount. Her financial threshold for considering herself broke is set at Ksh. 10,000, acknowledging that complete financial scarcity has not been a situation she has encountered.
