His considerable wealth was highlighted when an opposition leader once suggested that he sell one of his expensive watches to compensate striking medical personnel locked in a pay dispute with the government.

Adding to his collection of luxury items, President Ruto recently acquired a second vehicle with a price tag of Sh 20 million.

On April 25, 2024, he debuted his new acquisition, a 2024 Lexus LX600, valued at $93,915. The vehicle is available in various colors, including “eminent white pearl,” “atomic silver,” “nori green pearl,” “caviar,” or “manganese luster.”

Equipped with a powerful 409 HP Twin Turbo V6 engine, full-time 4WD, and the Lexus Safety System+2.5, the LX600 promises both performance and safety. Its exterior design exudes sophistication and strength, complemented by an F SPORT Handling package for a more dynamic driving experience.

President Ruto’s penchant for luxury vehicles is not new. In January 2023, shortly after taking office, he unveiled a Sh20 million Lexus LX 570. This vehicle boasts features like a sunroof, keyless entry, a power liftgate, parking sensors, and a 360-degree surround-view parking camera system. It is capable of navigating remote and rugged terrain while providing comfort and luxury.

In addition to his Lexus vehicles, President Ruto also has access to a Mercedes Benz Maybach S600 for official use.

While many Kenyans struggle with the high cost of living and unemployment, President Ruto’s lavish purchases may seem out of touch with public sentiment.
