Collins Chepkuley, popularly known as ‘General’ is not your average businessman since he’s certainly done things his own way.

The General, shot to fame on social media when a video of him in a convoy of a fleet of high end vehicles while accompanied by his hawkeyed security went viral.

He has since gained a huge following with whom he shares his outrageously lavish lifestyle aboard private jets, yachts, and fast cars. His rise to fame reads like a typical “rags to riches” folk tale.

Recently it has been reported that, the Eldoret businessman who traverses Rwanda and Zimbabwe countries in pursuit of International investment consultancies especially for foreigners interested in investing in Kenya does not spare money when it comes to spending.

“Look, recently I spent 1.2 million shillings in one day when I hired a private jet to Rwanda for a business trip. On several occasions while traveling by road, I have a fleet of cars and it is not bragging. My love for finer things is undeniable.” He said.

The father of two said that spending money is sweet and at the same time money cannot be everything.

“Not everyone who chop your money is there for a positive motive. People are different, so spend money on people who are true to you and who are ready to offer support in times of need.” He said.

He says that before money and fame he worked in a supermarket in Nakuru and later in Nairobi before he extended his territories.

He says that, being the third born in a family of six he was raised by a single mother who struggled to raise them up.

“My education almost ended during my childhood due to lack of school fees. Today I am who I am and I can say my current life and success came out of my past experiences.” General said.

In June, he warmly celebrated his first wedding anniversary at his Diani home in Mombasa.

The ‘General’ penned a heartwarming message to his partner Stella Chepkuley as he marked first anniversary.

“She remains the best.” He posted on his social media platforms.

This comes after he tied the knot in a private ceremony which was attended by family members only in Karen last year.
