Money doesn't come on a silver plate. It takes hard work, patience and perseverance for one to be successful. To some, it may be easy especially those born into rich families but to others that's not the case, most have really worked hard to get to where they are, and coast based singer Akothee is one of them.

The Shengerea Mama hitmaker is taking the entertainment industry by storm with her songs dominating local airwaves, thanks to her creativity and the mellow tone of her voice. She is giving her counterparts a run for their money.

The richest Kenyan female singer is currently on a tour of Africa, and she is set to visit three countries before she returns home next month.

"Will miss you my babies, Enroute. ... +277, + 234 +255,+ 41, take care until mummy comes back November 28th, love you."

The mother of 5 is very rich, her flashy lifestyle tells it all. (Click next page for photos)
