Business Insider SSA takes a look at how the 'Party King' makes and spends his money:
How he makes his money
Shaffie, who hosts Kiss 100's Big Breakfast Show, is one of the few radio hosts in Kenya said to pocket a fat salary.
He was once quoted by a local magazine as saying that, ‘I get a lot of money. Its Jackpot money.'
"I do not earn as much as the President but I get more than MPs," he quipped. Keep in mind that a Kenyan MP earns about Sh710,000 per month, so you can do the Maths.
