How his wealth was shared

The billionaire shared his immense wealth among his family - son, daughters, brothers and sisters.

His children, Robert and Maryanne got the lion’s share of the wealth (80%) while their step sister Fiona Wambui Kirubi got 9.95% of the wealth. Kirubi also left a Sh4 million gift for his last born daughter.

His siblings Anthony Maina, Michael Kirubi, Elizabeth Waithera and Salome Mburu will split 20% of Kirubi’s wealth among themselves.

The billionaire's brainchild, Haco Industries will be run by Maryanne who was already serving as its Managing Director.

She will also be expected to also tend to his interests in media, technology, advertising, stocks and agriculture.

Filling her father’s shoes will take great determination and sacrifice due to the complexity and extent to which he diversified his portfolio.

Chairman, as he was often referred to, was also a force to reckon with in the country’s social-political and economic front, which contrasts his daughter’s lifestyle which for a very long time was kept under wraps.

She operated two private businesses; a restaurant called Secret Garden on Riverside Drive in Nairobi and another at Two Rivers called Opul.

“My father adored me…in my father’s life, I was the boss and I would have all of him to myself,” Ms Musangi shared during her father’s burial in 2021.

She announced that the family would establish a foundation in honour of the departed businessman to focus on education, innovation and technology, health (specialising in diabetes and cancer) and agriculture.

“I promise to do my best and when I’m stuck, I will seek those in this gathering — who included representatives of the Kenyatta family, business magnates from the world and government representatives — to hold my hand,” she said in her parting shot.
