Kenyan athletes are the real superstars, but so little is known about them locally. They are the ultimate ballers, yet we tend to focus more on the broke socialites driving around in big cars that they don't even own.

Unlike our celebrities, most of our athletes are world acclaimed celebrities. If you meet anyone in London and ask them about Kenya, they will probably tell you that they know Kenyans as long distance runners.

After putting us on the map with the gold medals that they win, where do they take all that money to? What machines do they drive? Find out what your favorite athlete drives below.
