We take a look at some of the celebrity birthday parties that left us feeling like paupers in our own country, deni ya China aside.
Below is the list
Nana Gecaga
Nana who is Uhuru Kenyatta’s niece celebrated her 40th birthday last year. The party went down at the Billionaire Resort in Malindi.
It was a glamorous shindig at which Nana’s 40 guests were spoiled rotten during the two-day invite only bash graced by her brother Jomo Gecaga, Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko and close family members and friends.
The Billionaire Resort has 24 private and exclusive apartments that are rented out at Sh100,000 per night.

Akothee bought her first-born and second-born daughters cars on their birthdays. The parties were held at their palatial Mombasa home whereas her third-born daughter Makadia’s 17th birthday (last year)
was celebrated at Voi Safari Lodge, a place of her choice. She didn’t receive a car though. This year, she turned 18 and asked her mother not to throw a party for her but rather held use the cash to help a needy student.
“@akotheekenya I would have asked for
a) a new wardrobe
b) a car
c) a party hata ndege because I know you can get me any of these things if I ask but honestly, I don’t want any of those things… Instead of spending all that money on me I would love that you pay for a girl child, who is suffering somewhere in this country school fees… Because there is more to giving than receiving,” Makadia wrote on Instagram.
