Unmasking Chris Kirubi Ex-wife, Daughter and Son Who Refused to Work With Him – LitKenya

Prominent business personality Chris Kirubi was everywhere – online and offline.

His multi-million ventures, flamboyant lifestyle and philanthropy made him famous in Kenya and abroad.

While little is known about his family, the billionaire would occasionally talk about his two children – Maryanne Wambui Musangi and Robert Kirubi.

But the rich man never talked about his ex-wife, who he parted ways with in 1999. Her name and interests in life remain a top secret.

Speaking during a recent interview with well-known comedian Daniel Ndambuki aka Churchill on Churchill Show, the self-made billionaire described marriage as a form slavery and a big gamble he would never wish any young person to get into.

“I wish all the young people can focus on developing their talent and being very focused on what they do, or what role they are playing in any organisation, because that is the key to success.”

“Marriage is a permanent affair and you are jailed for life. But if you marry a good woman it is such a pleasure,” he remarked.

That aside.

Though she maintains a low profile, Maryanne is heavily involved in running of his late father’s multi-billion empire.

Describing her dad as “a mentor who grew up with nothing and now he is (was) one of Kenya’s most accomplished businessman” in 2017, the 47-year-old businesswoman said she likes a low-key life, working hard and loving her children.

In September 2020, Kirubi praised her daughter for courage and determination.

“Maryanne is exceptional. The only challenge is that maybe she doesn’t fear me unlike other employees. She is very smart and dedicated to work,” he said.

The Managing Director at Haco Industries is married to lawyer Andrew Musangi.

On the contrary, Robert is his own man.

He currently works in Belgium as the head of Global Customer Programmes at DHL Services Logistics.

At one point in 2018, Kirubi tried to persuade his son to be his business partner, but he declined the offer.

“My son works for DHL. I think they pay him so well he refused to work for me, but it is good he has also accumulated a lot of experience.

“He travels a lot. I see myself in my son,” the tycoon said.

Kirubi had investments in media, manufacturing and agribusiness.

He lost battle to prostate cancer.
