Controversial forex trader Kenyan Prince has caused quite a stir online after publicly declaring his net worth stands at a whopping 560 million Kenyan Shillings.
The 23-year-old trader made this jaw-dropping revelation during a no-holds-barred interview with Tony Mwirigi on the Over 1M Podcast, and let me tell you, the internet has been buzzing ever since.
Known for his flashy lifestyle and unapologetic confidence, Kenyan Prince broke down exactly how his half-billion shilling empire is built.
He valued his total assets at approximately 4.4 million US dollars, clarifying that this figure covers absolutely everything he owns, including his businesses, luxury car collection, and real estate investments.
The young trader made it crystal clear that his success didn't come from luck, but from savvy investments and high-stakes trading in the financial markets.
When pressed about his primary source of wealth, Kenyan Prince didn't mince his words. "Trading is my major source of income," he stated firmly, estimating that forex trading has contributed "more than 60 to 70%" to his total net worth. For those doing the math, that means over 300 million Shillings of his wealth comes directly from his trading activities.
He went on to clarify the breakdown of his empire, saying, "560 million Kenyan shillings, which consists of everything I own that is network, everything my businesses, my cars, and everything I own."
The interview, which took place at his new residence, gave viewers a glimpse into the lavish lifestyle that has made him a trending topic on social media.
He told Mwirigi that he purchased the mansion for 29 million Shillings while he was travelling in Dubai, describing the purchase as something he did with "some pocket change."
The property was acquired because his previous home simply couldn't accommodate his growing fleet of vehicles, which now includes an Audi, a GLE, and a recently acquired Range Rover worth 9.5 million Shillings.
Beyond trading, Kenyan Prince claims his money-making machine doesn't stop there. He revealed to the host that he earns a significant monthly profit from various investments, stating, "I'm doing like 28 to 29 million at least the least amount of money you're making a month profit-wise." That's nearly 30 million Shillings flowing into his accounts every single month from his business ventures and investment portfolio.
The young trader addressed his standing in the local trading industry with characteristic confidence. While he dismissed the idea that he's a pioneer in the field, he insisted he is currently the driving force of the market. "I am the forex engine, actually not even in Kenya but in East and Central Africa.
I am the engine," he declared boldly. He further asserted that he has mentored many successful individuals who are now prominent in the trading field, claiming credit for shaping some of the region's top traders.
Despite his current success, Kenyan Prince hasn't forgotten his humble beginnings. He opened up about his rapid rise to wealth, recalling a time when he couldn't even afford basic technology to kickstart his career.
"I used to borrow a neighbor's phone so that I could shoot a YouTube video nipost," he shared, painting a picture of how far he's come from those struggling days. Today, he owns a collection of nine mobile phones, a far cry from the days of borrowing a neighbor's device.
The trader is no stranger to criticism, with many Kenyans questioning the legitimacy of his wealth and trading claims on social media. However, he remains unfazed by the naysayers and focused on his growth.
"Nothing and I mean absolutely nothing can bring me down, bro nothing," he concluded firmly, sending a clear message to his critics that he's here to stay.
Love him or hate him, Kenyan Prince has certainly captured the attention of Kenyans with his bold claims and flashy lifestyle. Whether his net worth declaration is accurate or just another move to keep his name trending remains to be seen.
But one thing is for sure, the young trader has sparked a conversation about forex trading and wealth creation among the youth that isn't going away anytime soon.
As he continues to build his empire and flaunt his success, all eyes will be on him to see if this forex engine can keep revving up the numbers or if the engine will eventually run out of steam.
