Reginald Mengi, a Tanzanian billionaire, left behind a legacy of wealth for his six-year-old twin sons after his passing in May 2019.

According to a will released by The Original East, Mengi's wife, Jacqueline, a former Miss Tanzania, was married to the late tycoon before his death.

During an interview with Jeff Koinange, Mengi shared the story of how he met his wife, describing it as a serendipitous encounter in London.

"I thank God that I was able to meet her. I first met her in London where she was performing so I asked her if we could meet. On the day we agreed to meet she did not turn up." - Reginald Mengi

Despite the initial rejection, Mengi persisted in his pursuit of Jacqueline, eventually winning her over.

As seen in the photos below, Mengi's twin sons are now the beneficiaries of his vast wealth.
