THE LION OF Muthurwa ~ Victor Wanyama poverty in Muthurwa to Richest Kenya Footballer

Victor Mugubi Wanyama is a prominent football player from Kenya, who currently plays for both the Kenya national team and Major League Soccer club CF Montréal as a defensive midfielder. Despite his reputation for good sportsmanship and leadership, many people wonder about Victor Wanyama’s net worth.

Born to Mildred and Noah Wanyama in Nairobi, Kenya in 1991, Victor grew up with three football-playing brothers and a sister who is a professional basketball player in the United States. He attended Kamukunji High School for his studies.

Soccer players are known for being highly successful financially, but their additional holdings and sponsorships outside of soccer are what really make them wealthy. While there are no reliable sources that mention Victor Wanyama’s net worth, it is estimated to be about 1.5 billion Kenyan shillings. He makes most of his money playing soccer internationally, but also has numerous sponsor deals that bring in millions of dollars.

Despite his low net worth of $13.9 million or Ksh1.5 billion, Victor’s net worth is expected to rise significantly. He frequently shares photos of his fleet of five cars on social media, with his Volkswagen Crafter CR53 Maxi being the newest addition to his collection. This customized 10-seater van has interior and exterior CCTV cameras, a coffee machine, a fridge, and three 3-D television screens.

However, Victor has also faced controversy, including rumors that he fell out with the national team’s coach while playing for Harambee Stars, which led to his untimely retirement. The cause of the fallout remains unknown.
