The vehicle, estimated at over KSh 30 million, inclusive of import taxes, often turned heads, especially when it appeared at high-profile events like the launch of Two Rivers Mall, where he served as a director under Centum Investments. The sleek machine could accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just five seconds.

Alongside the Maybach, he also owned a customised Bentley. Rumoured to have cost him a similar amount, the Bentley was tailored to his taste and, like all his cars, sported a signature number plate with his initials, “CK.”

Kirubi had more than just sedans in his garage. His Mercedes-Benz M-Class, acquired brand-new from DT Dobie, was a practical yet premium SUV reportedly worth over KSh 8 million.

Complementing it was a stylish Range Rover, a status symbol among Kenya’s elite, valued anywhere between KSh 8 and 15 million.

Did Chris Kirubi own a Ferrari?

Perhaps the most eye-catching of them all was the Ferrari. Though it remains unclear whether he owned the high-performance sports car or took it for a spin as a fan, Kirubi was once photographed behind the wheel, adding fuel to public fascination.
