The country’s sports industry is full of personalities who are not afraid to spend their hard-earned millions in order to live a life of lavishness and class.
This is reflected in their lifestyle, from their clothing to their cars and entourage; it can simply be described as a display of fame and fortune.
Lets takes a look at the swanky cars driven by these sports personalities.
1. Victor Wanyama
Victor Wanyama, a midfielder for Club CF Montreal, has a 15-year career in the game, beginning with Kenya Premier League clubs such as AFC Leopards and Nairobi City Stars and progressing to Tottenham Hotspur and his current club.
He toured Kenya in 2018 in a customized Volkswagen Crafter CR53 Maxi.
The high-end vehicle is expected to cost Ksh25 million on average and will include features such as 3D TV screens, a fridge, interior and exterior CCTV cameras, rotating seats, a play station, and a coffeemaker.
Other high-end vehicles include a Ksh15 million Range Rover Sport and a 2017 Bentley model estimated to cost Ksh20 million.
2. McDonald Mariga
McDonald Mariga, like his brother Wanyama, exudes class with his swanky fleet of cars. The footballer-turned-politician is well-known for his custom-built Hummer H2, which costs Ksh13 million before taxes.
Mariga also drives a Cadillac Escalade Platinum 2011, which costs Ksh10 million ($95,000) and can cost around Ksh17 million after taxes.
The two brothers enjoy high-end vehicles, as evidenced by their possession of a Lexus V8 and a BMW, among other fleets of cars.
3. Michael Olunga
Michael Olunga, the Al Duhail club’s ace, has burst onto the international scene, breaking records with the club.
Olunga has been photographed with a Porsche Panamera, which can be worth up to Ksh 21.74 million depending on the customization of car parts.
The lethal striker was also seen driving a white Toyota Landcruiser 11 V8 Executive, the latest version of which costs Ksh11.5 million.
4. Eliud Kipchoge
Legendary athlete Eliud Kipchoge has amassed millions of dollars during his illustrious career, earning him the title of G.O.A.T (Greatest Of All Time).
The athlete, on the other hand, lives a private life away from the public eye. Kipchoge has received vehicles worth millions of dollars on several occasions for breaking world records.
In 2018, he received a Ksh5.9 million double cabin for breaking the world record at the Berlin Marathon in 2:01:39.
He also received another Ksh.4.1 million Isuzu D-Max Cabin in 2019 for finishing the Vienna race in under two hours.

For his incredible speed and prowess in the 100 metre track event, the upcoming talent has become a worldwide sensation.
He currently holds the Continental record for the fastest time in the 100 metre event and is attempting to break Jamaica’s Usain Bolt’s World Record.
Omanyala received a Toyota Harrier car worth Ksh5 million after breaking the African record in 2021.
