Kenya is home to a remarkable figure in the music industry, Krg, renowned for his dancehall hits and crowned as the wealthiest musician in the nation, boasting a net worth of approximately Ksh. 4 billion.
Krg’s journey to billionaire status commenced during his high school years when, in an interview with Milele FM, he revealed that he earned his first million Kenyan Shillings at the tender age of 17. During this time, Krg was studying in Uganda, and due to his parents’ unawareness of the exact school fees, his father would hand him money. Upon reaching school, Krg would discover he had an extra Ksh. 50,000 as pocket money.
The budding entrepreneur disclosed that he diligently saved this money. Additionally, he gained the trust of his female classmates, who entrusted him with their funds. This further contributed to his financial accumulation strategy.
By the end of each term, Krg would amass a substantial sum, reaching around Ksh. 100,000. His entrepreneurial spirit shone as he thrived on purchasing thrifted clothes at the school and reselling them in Kenya, yielding a triple profit of about Ksh. 300,000.
This financial ingenuity allowed Krg to achieve his first million by Form 2 in high school. Upon completing his high school education at the age of 19, he purchased his inaugural car.
With his newfound wealth, Krg began investing wisely. He acquired expansive plots of land and engaged in the buying and selling of cars, steadily amassing more profit. His financial portfolio expanded as he delved into various businesses, ultimately propelling him into the billionaire league.
Among his notable assets, Krg boasts a club valued at Ksh. 200 million, situated along Ngong Road. In addition to this, he has ventured into car yards, real estate, and milling industries. Living a luxurious lifestyle, Krg resides in a mansion worth Ksh. 500 million, a testament to his incredible journey from a high school entrepreneur to a prominent billionaire in the Kenyan music scene.
