New Car Baby!
Heeyaa!!
So as i told you I had gone car shopping. Unfortunately I didnt find any car worth my money. We already have all the cars worth buying. So Alexis and I went and spent the evening at Karen Country Club. Got home two hours ago.
Then I found what My Parents had been upto today. They had imported this for me last week,from Dubai! Couldn't even believe it. I still have to pay them back(exactly Ksh. 12.8 million or $140,000) but yoo! Its nothing!
Apparently Alexis was in on it too.Whose parents do that? Only if they're billionaires. Haha.
Wanted to take it for a spin but mom has said "its Monday morning boy,go to sleep.You have work tomorrow." Can't argue. Not now atleast. haha.

Greetings from France
Heeya!
Goodafternoon from France My good readers. Hope you are all enjoying your day. So as I had told you in my previous post, my business partners and I were invited to France to visit our co-investors.
So we got here on Moms private jet yesterday afternoon.Our hosts hooked us up with a private hangar to park the plane,at no expense.
They know I love a good Rolls-Royce so they came to pick us up in a fleet of 4 Rollies. Chauffeur driven of course.
Here Is Andy,Peter,Tom,Brady and I struggling to get into the plane before the flight to France. We had a wager that the last one to get into the plane would pay for fuel. Clearly I wad the one paying haha! Oh photo credits go to the one and only,my love - Alexis

QUITE BUSY
Heeya!
So how are you guys doing? Anybody miss me? Or my posts atleast?
I have been extreemely busy. Contrary to popular belief,my life is not some constant party. Yes there are weeks when I just decide to spoil my friends and I and just party non-stop. There are other days when its all about work! From early morning meetings to late night dinners with clients. From site visits to going to charity homes to donate cash clothes and stuff.
So the past couple of weeks I have been really busy. One of my business partners has had a secret project in the works for months now. He has been courting some investors frim France for our Real estate peojects in Tanzania. Moreover,the investors were so impressed with our portfolio that they invited us for more meetings in France with possible investment opportunity.
As you can tell this is awesome news and as a result we went to my friends home in Runda for lunch,just to celebrate. This was a formal celebratiin though as all business partners were around,no games,just a fomal cocktail party.
Here is the baby,dressed in white,as always. Mind you my birthday is on Saturday and my parents have been letting me enjoy the Rollie for a long time now. No number plates yet. I dont know what they are up to, Hehehe.

Out for Dinner.
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!
Enjoy your night folks,

Party Time Country Style!
Its Saturday. The crew is here. We're in Narok. There's food. There's drinks. There's SUN. There's music. There's a swimming pool. Ohh yeah you guessed it! POOL PARTY TIME!
So this is just going to be a short post, Alexis called a special vet to look at her horse as it has been ill for a couple of days. The vet said he is busy until Monday morning, so that's the only time he will be available. So for now he has just told us to administer some medicine. Ohh, the horse is called Racine pronounced Rashinee.
So Alexis is a little bummed out but I know a party always gets her happy. I may also have bought her a new necklace but that's a story for another day.
Here we are at the pool, located at the ranch. The sun is out magnificently today. The crew is here and its time to have an EPIC BLAST!

The Sun was OUT Today
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.
Off to play Golf with a potential Business Partner.
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.

Ujaluo itaua **Castro.
First off..ndio,najua Kiswahili. As I told you, my family have lived here for 3 generations and I consider myself Kenyan to the core. I also watch Kenyan comedy and hence the title of this evenings post.
There has been a lot of chatter online about the "first Lamborghini " landing in Kenya. There are even videos on YouTube. Funny thing is, its not the first, nor the second, nor the third! So many people own Lambo's in Kenya. Been seeing them at my parents' friends home for years, since I was 15. I don't even know how they are being recognized now. Ohh wait, the owners are in a Secret Billionaires society. Haha.
Anyways, so my friend called **Castro(not his real name obviously) gave me a call. He saw my blog post earlier this morning and decided that I was bored. So he invited me to The Hemmingways to have dinner with him and his wife.
Since The Hemmingways is literally a few minutes away from home, I ended up getting there early. Alexis was riding shot-gun as usual. So we got there and had wine as we waited for Castro et al to arrive.
They arrived at about 7pm. Right on time. He called me to go meet him outside. Members of The Society(Of secrete Billionaires) usually meet their guests outside before walking in together. So yeah, I went and met him. What I saw blew my mind. He arrived in a green Lamborghini! The very same one that had landed at the Mombasa port about a week ago(-insert song here-). He looked so fresh !
He was dressed in an Italian suit and his lady the same.Looking quite dapper. That's all they ever wear! So he jumped out and said "The Lord Has been good to me this year.." and I couldn't agree more. Mind you he is 25 years old, comes from a middle class family, grew up in Kileleshwa and now he's a millionaire. He made his money trading stocks and shares, not only locally but also abroad. He breadened his borders and is now enjoying the fruits. That was to motivate y'all.
I asked him for a pic and this is all he let me take since the video is already out there.

2 Yachts ;)
So as promised in my previous post, here are pics of the yachts.
We're currently somewhere off the coast of Malindi, some few hundred kilometers in a private location where only the Secret Billionaires who reside in Malindi and their friends who are also Billionaires know about. Basically, if you're not in the Kenyan Billionaires Secret Club, you can not sail in these waters. This area is highly guarded by the trusted Kenyan Navy at a high premium,for the luxury and safety of the billionaires who sail here to "play" and relax.
I really can't write much as we're still on a "No Technology/Devices" policy and im literally breaking the rules. The consequence- the device gets smashed immediately.Right now im using my iPhone for the pictures and Macbook to post. Im taking such a huge risk!
Brunch With Alexis in Malindi
Good Morning,
Hope y'all are having a good Saturday?
So as i told you, today is all about partying! We're already warming up for the yacht party.Been a week of hard work. After signing the huge real estate contract in Tanzania and making potentially 6 dollar figures. Yup, somewhere in the millions of dollars.Its basically my company's money but i do get to spend it, after all, I pay myself. (Yea; Take a hint- invest in Real Estate- be smart about it though)
Meanwhile, I took this pic as Alexis and I were having brunch as we woke up late. We had a late night yesterday. We basically stayed on the beach around a bonfire, eating and chilling with the crew. And there was a strict "No Technology/Devices" policy at the bonfire. Basically meaning my friends and I were to keep all our phones, laptops and iPod's away and just enjoy each other's company. Trevor had his guitar and we sung all sorts of songs all up until 3 AM. We then went to sleep at the beach house.Yeah, so that's the reason we woke up late.
Since we're at the coast we got the chef to prepare for us some Japanese-styled sea food. My favorite is the sauteed prawns and rice.. among others. I don't bother to know the names of the other foods we were having, as long as there was no octopus,squid,raw snake and so on,i was down to eat it all! Excuse my ignorance but I only eat seafood because of Alexis.
I'll post pics of the yacht once we are on board, pretty much in a few hours.
Enjoy your weekend.

Sunset In Malindi,
So i got a kind of sad text from a friend of mine saying "Dude,,, New Years EVE Beachlife party has been CANCELLED." Haha i know you were thinking it was something serious,but oh well, this is. Apparently the New years Party usually held in Mombasa will not be taking place this year. My crew and I always frequent this joint because Kenyan Parties are all we ever want.
The crew and I met up at the Hemmingways for lunch and after a short deliberation, we decided to go to Malindi for the weekend(and the whole of next week as well) just to keep the 'sad news' out of our minds.It goes without stay that we could literally wake up and decide to go to any city we feel like and party our brains out, as we do every other month, but thats not the plan for this weekend, because nothing beats a party in your home country. I really do mean it, I've been to Mykonos, Miami, London, Paris, Dubai even Hong Kong! you name it. But Nothing and I mean Nothing beats a Kenyan Beach Party. Yupp. We're that spontaneous. We meet. Decide. Fly.
So we got here in my Parents private plane(I'll post pictures when we're flying back.) We landed in Malindi something like 2pm(No one really bothers to check the time when you are having fun..)
It isn't all fun and games though.No, i lied. Tomorrow morning we're heading to the port, to get ontop the yatch to go sport fishing and then have a swell party on the Yatch deck with a couple of friends. Its going to be E.P.I.C. Cant wait.
Here I am enjoying the sunset at our beach in Malindi, enjoying the suns last few rays of the day. Cherish every moment.
Stay Winning, Keep Winning.

Where we hide every night,
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,,
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,
