On Monday, 22 September 2025, Kenyan forex trader, widely known as Kenyan Prince, sparked debate on social media after issuing a controversial statement about income, wealth, and lifestyle expectations.
In a video circulating online, Kenyan Prince addressed young professionals and aspiring entrepreneurs, warning that if someone earns less than Ksh50,000 a month and plans to rely on that income for life, they should abandon dreams of owning luxury cars, such as a Mercedes GLE, or maintaining large collections of vehicles.
He argued that depending on low income without investing or creating additional revenue streams is effectively waiting for financial stagnation or even metaphorical death.
Kenyan Prince, known for his outspoken advice on wealth creation, suggested that ambition without strategic financial planning is futile. He encouraged followers to explore investments, entrepreneurship, and side hustles to increase income and achieve financial freedom.
“If you’re content with Ksh50,000 per month for life, then the luxuries you dream about will remain out of reach. You are essentially signing up for a limited life,” he stated, emphasising that wealth is created through calculated risk-taking and financial literacy.
Others criticised him for appearing insensitive and elitist, arguing that not everyone has access to investment opportunities or resources needed to scale up income.
