Throwback Thursday.

Heeyaa!

Hope your week is good. My uncle sent me this pic he took of me when I was about 8 years old. I remember the day. My parents had just bought their first Helicopter!! They landed it out back of the house. You can imagine my excitement.

I wasn't as happy in the picture because I wanted to go flying immediately but my parents said we had to have lunch first. Which was just a waste of time in my opinion. So I was abit frowny.

But after lunch we had a blast! Of course, first place we went was Narok, to our ranch. Then Rusinga Island to my parent's hotel. We spent the night there and flew back to Nairobi in time for school. I was dropped in school by the chopper. Haha. Oh I went to St. Andrew's Turi, in case you are wondering.

Such a #ThrowBack though! HashTag ForeverRich.

Thats Dad and the pilot behind me.

New Millionaires in Kenya.

Heeyaa!

So the other day I was at Nakumatt Junction and as I was pulling out, I noticed this: a Rolls Royce Ghost. And no, it wasn't dads. Infact, I didn't know whose it was. Strange.
I have also seen pictures and videos of the same individual's Lambourghini. Rumours have it that they belong to a Congolese millionaire currently residing in Kenya.(also,the plates are from Congo).

However, I am glad to see that there are other upcoming millionaires in the country too. Maybe one day they will be rich enough to join our Secret Billionaire's Club! Haha.


But seriously though, He/She has got a good car. I'll look for a way to contact them so that they can be a part of our Billionaires Club.

So as you see, there are many rich Kenyans.  Go out there and make a name for yourselves!
and remember..

Quality Time with Dad

Heeya!

So I flew back from Dar this morning and guess who was there to pick me? I was expecting Alexis but it was Dad!!! Was too happy to see my Ol' Man waiting for me. He drove the white Rolls Royce. Yes. He drives himself every other day. Wouldn't you do the same if you had a 25 million shilling car? haha.




If you were in JKIA today morning you might have noticed something strange. Or not.
We never use the main entrance thats for sure. For those who don't know there is another VIP entrance for VVIP. Top government officials sometimes use it when they want to travel incognito,but due to State obligations its mostly reserved for the Ultra-Rich in Kenya!
So anyways I flew in on Moms private Jet. Dad picked me and told me we were going to Narok for an important meeting. I thought it was just business as usual.


Here we are at one of the Shell petrol stations in the country.(its your mission to find out which one) haha.

So we got to Narok in the afternoon like we always do. We went straight to our ranch and in the garden I saw something beautiful. Dad had asked one of our chefs to prepare a special lunch for me.Turns out my Ol'Man just wanted to spend an afternoon with his boy. I was so touched.
All this was for me! Nothing new here, but the thought that Dad drove me all the way just to have lunch was out of this world. My dad gets extremely busy but he took a whole Monday off for me.Reminds me that Family is very important.This week, do something special for your family members. AND remember, its not Monday's that suck. Its your life!! Change that!

Out for Dinner.

Heeyaa!

It's been a busy day! Started off at the Karen Country was having brunch with a client of mine. This guy deals in mega transportation. He(or rather his company) has 5 freight ships, two oil tankers. Their ships do transportation of cargo between Africa and Asia. The oil tankers, 1 between South America and Europe, and the other mainly from the Middle East to Australia. This guy seems to have it all. He told me his net worth. I can't even deal. 

Anyways, so I was to meet him at Karen Country Club and have lunch with him as we waited for my parents to come and join us. They had been in Hong Kong. They arrived this morning and were at home freshening up and all, before they came. Yes, when its work time, its work time. I also insisted that they should rest and perhaps take the day off. What! My dad said holidays and weekends are their days off. So I re battled by saying "..aren't you guys sleepy?"
My mom replied, "Emirates were kind enough to ensure that we enjoyed our sleep in our private first class suites on board the A380..." I really couldnt argue with that.

Oh so for those who are wondering, they flew from Hong Kong to Dubai on an Emirates A380, first class as mom has clearly stated above. They then joined some of their business partners in Dubai and flew back together on my moms private plane. (pictures in a future post).

Aaaaaniways, so the parents came, we had our meeting at The Country Club and that was that. The business meeting was quite successful and as a result Alexis had the idea that we should surprise my parents with dinner at Laico Regency, just about an hour ago. They agreed and are getting ready as I write this post,

I had Ronald pull up the white baby out the side of the house,then I gave him the night off. Im driving the White baby, the Rollie, tonight, I'm the chauffeur, Alexis is the Bodyguard and my parents are the bosses, as usual!
Theres the baby,,


Enjoy your night folks,

The Sun was OUT Today

Heeyaa!

So after my rant yesterday about the weather I woke up expecting pretty much the same crappy gloomy weather. Anyways so as usual by the time I woke up it was overcast, something like 16 degrees out and the wind wanted to let me know who's in charge.

Meanwhile, I went for golf with my business partner(check previous posts). Fast track to the afternoon and the sun was out!! Duuuuuuude! I called Ronald to come pick me up, destination- the pool at home! While on the way home, I called up the crew and told them the plan was on- pool party at mine! Alexis called her girls as well. I then called the chef and told him to prepare a feast- the sun was out and we were going to celebrate! Haha.Yupp, that's us, we look for every reason to celebrate and throw a party because trust me, this life can be so stressful, you have to find a way to release that pressure, as often as possible.

We got home in about an hour, Ronald was practically cruising on the SuperHighway and Ngong' road wasn't too bad either. I would like to rant about the new Imposed 50Km/H Speed limit but I don't have time for that.

So I got home and found the crew already at the house. There was chicken on the grill, wine from the cellar was brought up and good house music playing! We got into our costumes and jumped in! It was such a lovely afternoon. We had to milk every last minute of that sunshine.

We also got the rifles out and we were shooting pucks. A little activity I picked up while on holiday in Fort Worth, Texas, last December. You see, the good thing(and maybe bad as well) is that having a large compound lets you shoot guns all afternoon without alarming your neighbours or inviting the cops over. It may be bad cause in the event of a robbery, but.. the way our security system is set up..haha..the armed guards,GSU patrol and above all, GOD watching over us,I think we are pretty safe. :) Alexis told me to avoid smileys but blaaah!

Here are pictures form this afternoon. We're now just chilling in the game room playing pool. I'll post some pics of the home inside later on tonight as requested by Mr. Anonymous haha.
So there is Tom and Talissa. Part of the crew. Which reminds me, I was meant to write a post about my crew, oops. Will do that ASAP. I took this picture with my GoPro Hero 4 Black Edition Camera. Awesome machine

That's Brady and I shooting pucks. The wind wanted us to know 'it was still in control' but the Sun was out and that's all that mattered. I'm in the red shorts and yes.. you may have noticed I cut my hair( because I had a very important business meeting that I told you about already).Pay no attention to the sheep, that's a story for another day

Off to play Golf with a potential Business Partner.

Heeyaa!

Good Morning people. Rise and grind.
Today I'm up early because I have a meeting with a very important  client. This guy wants to invest in shares in my Real Estate project in Tanzania. He wants to put about 60 million Kenyan shillings in the project. That would give us substantial impetus in the project and push back the project time frame by 3 months. So I'm meeting him over a game of golf at the Muthaiga Golf Club. I better make him look good. Ha! That's business.

That may not sound like much but in real estate business, it makes a world of difference. Time is everything. My parents have taught me that if you can deliver a product/project/service in the required time-frame or earlier, your reliability factor goes up. Business chatter grows and more people will consider your company for projects as you can deliver on time.

Ronald(parents driver for the past 5 years) pulled up the Mercedes CLS out for me. Its Dad's everyday car but today im cruising in it. Alexis is riding back left cause she is my Queen, I dont midn where I sit,
Time to go and make money. Good day people.

Where we hide every night,

So I decided just to post a picture of our beautiful home from the back. Was chilling alone near the pool and i took this pic just before i went for a dip, the sun was crazy today! But before the picture, just a little bit of facts;

Apart from our home in Karen because we have other homes, one in Malindi,Kenya.(of course, cause thats the billionaires central location and play place and it has close proximity to the airport where mom's plane is usually parked). We also have a home in Narok(where the ranch is), more like our country home but we also have an island somewhere on Lake Victoria where we hail from. My great grand father settled there when he came from The UK way back then, and that has been our "rural" home ever since. Although there is nothing rural about the island,haha! Then finally our home in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania. We spend a fair bit of time there every few months or so. Plus that is where Dad and Mom keep most of their fancy sports cars because,,well.. its safer according to them, plus the roads there favor their Ferrari's. Dads words not mine. Plus, Mom is Tanzanian and she loves Dar, so yeah. I'll post the houses soon enough.

So heres the Karen Villa;

A little about me,,

Heyaaa!

So yesterday my girlfriend and I were having breakfast at The Hemmingways Hotel in Karen Nairobi, just as we always do every Weekend after our morning workout.  Anyways, so as we were watching the sun rise, my girlfriend mentioned to me how lucky she was to be with me. Furthermore, she mentioned how interesting it would be for Kenyans to have a glimpse into our life.

It is then that i realized that I should start a blog. Not to brag or anything, but to give people a sneak peak into my life, how it is to be the son of a Kenyan billionaire power couple. She(the girlfriend) said that aside from my circle of friends(whom i will introduce at a later date)are the only ones who really know how it is to be in the position that I am in. Moreover she said it would be a good idea to let people know just how we live..the things we do for fun..the places we visit..because people always have this misconstrued view of wealthy people,plus she said blogging is fun! Ohh well.. its always worth a try. :)

So here I am, im letting you into my life.. to read and imagine how my life is,,

OK so what first...Mmh, Oh yeah OK, So my name is Richard(Cant share my surname for obvious security reasons.) ;)

Im 20 yrs old, born in July 23,1994 at St. Mary's Hospital, Westminister London.( I'd post the video of my birth here but that would be too much now, wouldn't it? hahaa)
Im an entrepreneur by birth,by right, by association, be relation, by blood,,because..i don't need to work for anyone(aside from my parents because my they are the pillars of my success.) I mean, they are the billionaire couple,not me.. Im running several of my Parents' businesses. I have a couple of businesses of my own, beer transportation and distribution, a ranch in Narok County,Kenya, a coffee Import&Export company and an International Property Investor and Realtor( best part of my life because I get to travel..A LOT!)

Mmh,,what else..? Oh! I have a small sister who is the most spoilt child in the World! Oh and I stay in Karen on a 10-acre ranch that has been our family home for 3 generations now(passed down from my grandfather). Id really like to share a lot more but my parents are realle conscious of the information we share with the public due to safety & security reasons so I will keep the sensitive info to a minimum. I know what you're asking yourself and yes, they do know about this blog. In-fact when the Girlfriend(I'll introduce her to y'all a little later) ran the idea by them,they encouraged my to open the blog. They've been ever so supportive in all that I've wanted to to..my WHOLE LIFE.

Ok, so my girlfriend is called Alexis and we have been dating for the past 5 years, friends since we were 3 years old. Her parents and mine have been business partners for over 30 years(I think we are already in an arranged marriage but that's a story for another day.. Haha!)

So.. about pictures, I'll only post those that don't expose my(or my families) identity for reasons stated above.

Ohh and one more important thing, due to the nature of my business, I may post about thrice a week 'cause i get really busy but i'll post as much as I can because its a new experience for me and I'd like y'all to share the experience with me.

Keep Winning,
