Deputy President William Ruto is among the richest politicians in Kenya at the moment. Some might argue his wealth was acquired in uncouth means, but I can’t argue in favor or against that myself.
William Samoei Arap Ruto is the current deputy president of Kenya. He has been the deputy president since 2013. He was once an acting Kenya president between 5th and 8th October 2014 when the current President, Uhuru Kenyatta was away, in Hague.
One thing though that we know about DP Ruto is that he owns some of the most expensive properties both in Nairobi and other parts of the country.
He owns a home worth millions of shillings, a 4-star hotel and even an expensive gadget that many might only dream about it but never get a chance to own one.
He was recently ranked as the 12th and the most affluent people in Kenya with a net worth of Ksh 30 billion. He owns a tyranny of companies in Kenya which he makes a kill out of them.
Here is the list of properties owned by the current deputy president of Kenya.
