Former millionaire businesswoman Esther Njihia lost all her fortune within one month.
Esther Njihia was once a wealthy and well-known businesswoman from Nakuru. She imported and sold goods such as vehicles, furniture, photocopier machines, and building materials, earning millions. She mingled with top businesspeople and lived a life of success.
Her troubles began when she decided to expand her business to Nairobi. Esther sold her house in Nakuru and bought a KSh 40 million mansion in Nairobi. Soon after the deal, she discovered the property was registered under five different people. This meant she had lost her entire investment.
As she was still recovering, a female friend introduced her to another business deal that promised high returns. Esther invested Ksh. 11.4 million, but the venture collapsed. She never saw any returns, and her savings vanished.
Within just one month, Esther had lost everything she had built over the years. With no money left, she turned to hawking porridge on the streets to survive.
Esther Njihia’s story is a painful reminder of how fast fortunes can disappear. It shows the importance of due diligence before making major investments or trusting business partners.
