Rongo Mansion
One of Akothee’s extravagant properties is her mansion in Rongo, which is estimated to be worth at least Sh. 80 million. This luxurious home is equipped with modern amenities such as a swimming pool, jacuzzi, and a well-manicured garden, among others, making it a perfect retreat for the singer.
In a social media post, Akothee revealed that she had been conned while seeking to buy land for her mansion in Rongo. She disclosed that she had initially purchased land in Rakwaro but lost it because she failed to do proper background checks on the title deed to verify its authenticity.
“When I bought my first land in Rakwaro at 120k back in 2008 the only savings I had, I ended up losing it, I didn’t do a proper background check of the documents, I really wanted to have a home, I didn’t care where I just wanted a roof over my head with my kids,” Akothee said.
“I had nowhere to go if the houses for rent were to be demolished, My family was too big to go back and fit in my mother’s house. I wanted a home and a place to associate myself with. A place my kids can call home.”
After falling victim to a conning incident, Akothee persevered and managed to save up enough money to purchase the property in Rongo where she eventually built her luxurious mansion.
“I have always believed in buying land to build my home. God showed up in 2019 and I bought land and built a white house. 2013, I wanted to have a home in the village so sent money and bought land in Rongo, 500k for 50×100. When I went to check, it was not really what I wanted, I was so angry, it was small and in the middle of people’s homes. I never wanted to step there. Waited and sold it at 1.5m back in 2019.”
Bungalow in Mombasa
Akothee also owns a bungalow in Mombasa, which is said to have cost her approximately Sh. 120 million. This impressive 16-bedroom house is located in a prime location and is equipped with all the necessary facilities.
Akothee has previously revealed that she spends a substantial amount of money, approximately Sh.500,000, every month to manage her opulent homes. She takes pride in her extravagant lifestyle, including the upkeep of her properties, and boldly states that no man can afford to be with her unless he is capable of shouldering the expenses of her empire.
Nairobi Home
After spending nine years living in Mombasa, Akothee decided to relocate to a posh home in Nairobi, estimated to be worth Ksh. 80 million.

She even mentioned that she has American-born Swiss singer Tina Turner as her neighbor in Lugano, showcasing her international connections.
