January blues are real, especially when you see flamboyant businessman Steve Mbogo flaunting a designer watch worth Ksh 790,234 on January 9, 2020.
While some of us are struggling to make ends meet, Mbogo is living large with his Backes and Stauss timepiece, which costs $7,777.
President Uhuru Kenyatta, on the other hand, has a watch collection that would sponsor Kenya's budget for months. His timepieces include an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak worth $48,000, a Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust Gold worth $14,500, a Patek Phillipe Nautilus series worth $66,000, a Rolex Submariner Green Bezel worth $8,550, and a Rolex GMT-Master II worth $11,150.
It's clear that some Kenyans are more fortunate than others when it comes to luxury items.
