He's not broke if he spent most of it on cows and houses

This is a way of keeping off money hungry relatives and friends.

The write-up itself is vague & contradictory. In the business world, everyone is paid in two coins - cash and experience. Take the experience first; the cash will come later - H Geneen

He isn't broke. Even if he invested 100m only and makes 10% return per annum, he Will have an income of almost 1m per month which is more than enough to live an affluent life in Kenya. If I won 230M I would spend it as follows: 1. Travel the world - 30m; 2. Give to various Charities - 10m; 3. Ostentation (housing, cars and other luxuries for self, family) - 50m; 4. Liquid Investments - 50m; 5. Illiquid Investments - 90m; Life is short. Live passionately.

Where does it say anything is paying him any income? He himself says he does NOT have any income despite the massive winnings!

Quote:In a shocking revelation published by the Standard’s SDE, Ogada now says that he has nothing left, and sometimes goes without a dime in his pocket. How much more clearer than that can it get? When someone has monthly income from his investments worth 200+ mill surely they will not be crying that they do not have a dime in their pocket!

I think Ogada himself is the vague one because he does not want to admit he blew the money and other than his mansion and the parents mansion plus a few cars, no other "investments here and there" exist! A brand new Range Rover costs well over 10 metre. He probably bought 5 of these types of pieces of metal alone. Then the house in a nice burb in Nairobi could easily eat up 120 metre depending on where. The mansions in shaggz and cows probably "ate" another 20 metre. The rest was blown on "raha" and clothes. So please believe him when he says he has no dime left!

It was upto the 'journalist' to prod and get the facts rights, which s/he didnt, thereby making the article fake news. As @alma will tell this is some sleazy lazy journalist who was paid 10k by Ogada to advance this story that he is broke to shake of 'beggars'. He would have gone into details on the cost (not value) of the so called 'assets' if he was serious. If you can believe that article, then i have no words for you, not even worth kufunga nyama.

This is exactly why you would end up broke. You have just listed how you would “get rid” of the money as quickly as possible, as though having it with you would burn a hole in your side. If you have never earnt a million, you cannot keep a million. Keeping money is even harder than making money. All those ‘investments’ people make end up losing the most money, even better spend it on ‘raha’.

He Just want to keep away relas and other hangers-on. There is some level of cash you get and even the cash itself does not want to leave you. "Things that matter most must never be at the mercy of things that matter least." Goethe

This part is what makes me highly doubt this: Quote:Of course. I may have made a few mistakes here and there. But largely, I did fine. I think I would be more responsible.”
And when asked how much he is worth, five months after joining the millionaires club, Gordon Ogada said:
“I can only count my properties (*2 mansions in the village & one in Nairobi*) for now. I don’t have money seating (sic) somewhere. That alone worries me at times. It is especially difficult convincing relatives and friends that I don’t have money in my pockets. They don’t understand. No one seems to understand. But I do, and that’s what matters for now.” Gordon Ogada says he still bets, and hopes to win again with SportPesa.
“I have intensified my football match analyses in a bid to win another jackpot. This time round, I will be more responsible with my spending,” he said, adding: “I have no immediate plans of stopping. I hope to win again someday.”

So the journalist wrote what Ogada told him but doesn't have the intelligence to dig deeper from other sources apart from the 'victim'. Come on this is third rate journalism.
