One of Kenya’s renowned dancehall artists, Krg the Don, recently made public the revelation that his net worth extends into the billions. The singer, celebrated as one of the wealthiest and most controversial figures in the Kenyan music scene, confidently declared that financial concerns will never trouble him.
According to Krg the Don, he takes pleasure in showcasing his affluence and socializing with fellow magnates, asserting that they belong to the same elite echelon. He categorically stated his reluctance to associate with the less privileged, expressing the belief that mingling with those in poverty could potentially diminish his wealth. Therefore, he prefers the company of tycoons, emphasizing the importance of staying within one’s social class.
In his own words, “Mimi ni billionaire niko na pesa nyingi. Marafiki wangu wengi ni wadosi, siwezi hang out na Maskini. Maskini Wanateseka Wataniambukiza Umaskini, kwa hivyo kila mtu a hang out na watu wa class yake” (translated as “I am a billionaire with a substantial fortune. Most of my friends are high-profile individuals, and I cannot associate with the poor. The impoverished may subject me to their struggles and infect me with poverty, so it’s crucial for everyone to socialize within their own social class”).
The origin of Krg’s wealth often leaves many curious. Contrary to popular belief, he does not rely on income from his music, viewing it merely as a leisure pursuit. Instead, Krg the Don is recognized as a flamboyant entrepreneur with diverse business interests, including ownership of milling industries, a car yard, and a multimillion-dollar club located along Ngong Road (Casavera).
Notably, the artist disclosed that his extravagant lifestyle incurs significant daily and monthly expenses. On a daily basis, he reportedly spends Ksh. 150,000 for personal use, accumulating to a monthly expenditure ranging from Ksh. 4 million to 5 million. This revelation provides insight into the opulent lifestyle led by Krg the Don, affirming his status as a high-rolling businessman and a prominent figure in Kenya’s entertainment industry.
