October 1, 2019, marked a day when the lives of Kenyan rich kids were put under the spotlight. But who are these rich kids, and what sets them apart from the rest of society?
According to sources, not everyone who drives an expensive car is a rich kid. In fact, some people who show up in Westland with borrowed or hired cars are just there for the attention.
Rich kids, on the other hand, are not after cheap attention. They prefer to keep a low profile and avoid drawing unnecessary attention to themselves. Last night at a popular joint in Westlands, relatives to a powerful Kenyan politician showed up and tried as much as possible not to be noticed.
Another characteristic of Kenyan rich kids is that most of their friends are white. They don't go to Mombasa for holidays; instead, they cruise on multimillion-dollar yachts in Spain and party in Vegas with friends.
Interestingly, most of these rich kids use funny usernames on social media to avoid being stalked by fans from Kariobangi. Only those who know them personally know their handles, something like @7huhgbfwu.
Lastly, most Kenyan rich kids come from a rich background. Some of their parents are/were politicians, powerful civil servants, or successful businessmen.
