Have you ever wondered who Kenya's wealthiest women are? The wealthiest women in Kenya are a hot topic of debate in the region, as there have been numerous arguments and debates about the most powerful women in Kenya in terms of wealth. A person's wealth is determined by a number of factors. These include inheritance, family money, entrepreneurship, strategic marriages, and so on. It is difficult to identify the wealthiest women in Kenya because their fortunes have not yet been cataloged by Forbes magazine. In today's video, we'll look at some of Kenya's wealthiest women, how they made their money, and how much they're worth. Please take a few moments to subscribe as we continue our journey. 10. Dr. Kaffirin Nangisa, $8 million Kaffirin is one of Kenya's wealthiest women, owing largely to her invaluable contributions to Kenyans in the health sector. Through their profession, she has been able to provide medical services that were previously difficult to obtain due to a lack of or insufficient supply to meet the needs of everyone who requires quality healthcare. She is a radiation oncologist and physician who owns the Texas Cancer Center in Nairobi, Kenya's capital. Prior to the establishment of this center, many Kenyans were unable to receive adequate care and quality health services, particularly those with cancer. Despite the fact that the company was founded with a $1 million loan, Kaffirin was able to quickly recoup the loan and has gone on to make a fortune. 9. Wase Mara, $14 million Wase is a lucky woman when it comes to women who made the majority of their fortune through marriage. She is on this list of Kenya's richest women because of her marriage and inheritance from the late Nairobi mayor, Dick Wafika. She has built on her fortune since claiming it by investing in and acquiring a 21% stake in Sport Pisa, one of Kenya's largest bookmakers. This investment proved to be a wise decision, as it generates millions of Kenyan shillings each month. Wase also appears to be a commercial and business guru, as evidenced by a string of successful investments in her portfolio. Certainly, she has earned her place among Kenya's wealthiest women. 8. Jane Wairu Michuki, $15 million Jane is one of Kenya's most well-known female lawyers. Throughout her career, she has represented top clients throughout Kenya, including Equity Group Holdings Limited, Kenya's largest bank in terms of value, deposits, and customer base. Aside from her legal career, she is also a very successful businesswoman. Jane has purchased stock in a variety of companies in order to diversify and expand her portfolio, and it's working as they all bring her benefits on annual basis. Her largest investment to date has been in a British American investment company, in which she owns 9%. She is now the Nairobi Stock Exchange's largest female stockholder, NSE. 7. Lucy Mwiti, $17 million Lucy is the youngest woman on this list of Kenya's wealthiest women. Her accomplishments to date are commendable, and it begs the question of what she will be worth in the next 10 years. Lucy, also known as the beauty and the brains, has everything it takes to move up this list and become the richest female in Kenya. Especially given the several years she has to increase her earnings at Networth. 6. Mary Okalo, $18 million Being born into a wealthy family undoubtedly helped Mary Okalo become as wealthy as she is today. Her family is not only wealthy, but also powerful and influential, due to her father's involvement in politics. One of her siblings was once Kenya's vice president. That's to demonstrate how powerful her family was. Despite growing up in a political family, Mary chose to be an entrepreneur. Before becoming a full-fledged entrepreneur, she began her career as an employee at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs following the completion of her university degree. She held several national and international positions before leaving to start her own business. She is now one of Kenya's wealthiest women, thanks to her investments and earnings over the years. 5. Jane Wangui Yanguna, $18 million Jane Wangui is the wife of Equity Bank CEO James Monghi. You'd agree with us that this is one powerful family dominated by business minds. Together with her husband, she owns the majority of the stock in Kenya's largest financial institution. Jane appears to enjoy business investing with her husband, as they both have other portfolios and their names. Mary earns more than 200 million Kenya shellings per year from Fittinbealt, an investment company and a majority shareholder in Brutum Insurance. The current net worth clearly places her among Kenya's wealthiest women. 4. Liya Wanjiku Muguku, $19 million Given the number of women on this list as a result of their investment in Equity Bank, it's safe to say that this institution is a gold mine for women in the country. Li Muguku is the late business tycoon Nelson Muguku's daughter. As a result, the majority of her father's fortune in Kenyan shellings was transferred to her name. Despite the sale of the majority of her father's shares in the financial institution, Li still has a 0.9% stake in Equity Bank. She also owns the Waterfront Mall, Kenya's largest shopping center. With her investments in numerous growing businesses, we expect her net worth to continue to rise. 3. Margaret Satoti, $21 million Margaret Satoti is the wife of Kenya's sixth vice president, George Satoti. Her husband was a great Kenyan politician, businessman and American and British-trained economist, mathematician and development policy thinker. Margaret was in line to inherit his fortune after his untimely death in a helicopter crash in June 2021. Margaret has not been a public figure since her husband's death, preferring to live in privacy. Despite the fact that she has been involved in a number of controversies, she has not made many public appearances since then. 2. Tabatha Karanja, $18 million Tabatha, along with her husband, is a self-made Kenyan millionaire. She and her husband started the fortified wine business together in the late 1990s. Despite the numerous challenges her business faced in the Kenyan market, particularly the heavy taxation of locally produced wines in Kenya, which nearly crippled her business she was able to scale through. She achieved this by switching from locally produced wine to gin and vodka, which are still available in the Kenyan market today. Tabatha expanded her business from producing 60,000 bottles of drinks per day to 600,000 bottles after experiencing such success. Her factory now has a net worth of $55 million. She is arguably the most hardworking of Kenya's richest women. 1. Injina Kenyatta, $1 billion Mama Injina Kenyatta is the mother of Kenyan President Yuru Kenyatta and the wife of Kenya's first president, MZ Jomo Kenyatta. This, of course, makes her one of the most powerful women in the country, a position that comes with a lot of perks, including a lot of money. She was named to the list of Africa's top billionaires in 2012, along with the late former cabinet minister, Nikas Biwat, by the Nigeria-based Ventures Financial Magazine.
