Bior got 519 votes, leading people to mock him. Bior initially released a statement at his rural home, thanking all those who voted for him. He noted that he had not given up, but would instead be back stronger.
“Next time it will be bigger, better, and stronger. To everyone who came out and voted, thank you for believing in the journey. Our story continues,” he captioned the video.
Bior then returned to Nairobi and scoffed at those joking about his 519 votes.
“You were laughing because I got 519 votes,” he said as he lounged in his swimming pool.
How much did Money Bior’s Karen mansion cost?
Behind him was a lush lawn and a luxury mansion. Finished in beige, the mansion boasts a modern architectural design with huge windows that allow ample light.
Numerous decorative trees dotted the lawn behind Bior’s mansion. A large tree stood next to the two-storey mansion, and a luxury vehicle was parked there.
Bior then broke down the cost of his properties, seemingly showing that the election campaign did not dent his finances.
“We are in Karen. What car is that?” he asked the person behind the camera.
Bior answered himself, saying:
“Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon is worth KSh 45 million.”
He then asked the cameraman how much the house cost, and he guessed around KSh 100 million.
“This house costs more than $2 million (around KSh 258.5 million).”
Kenyans had this to say about Bior’s show of financial might:
Beverly Karani:
“Next time, let him translate that G-Wagon into votes.”
Humble Kabach:
“Anytime I see this guy, he’s always in the swimming pool.”
Ken Ochieng:
“Wealth and leadership are two different things. One can only facilitate the other.”
Milly Arek:
“And he is always swimming alone in the swimming pool, how can I reach him so that we can swim together?”
Fionah Kimanzi:
“Money when I catch you, hata hii ya Bior ni shadow.”
