How to become a millionaire like Holy Dave

Holy Dave is a certified multi-millionaire thanks to his business acumen. Given the fact that he is a gospel artist, we cannot pretend he made his fortune courtesy of his talents because… Kenya.

However, he has been one of the smartest businessmen of our generation and has been making silent moves that have ensured his financial freedom and wellbeing. The answer to the question of what exactly he’s been investing in is AirBnB.

I get it, the government has decided to meddle in that particular business but the truth of the matter is that it is a very smart business to get involved in if you can. Here’s why…

Ever since the beer bug hit, people have been eager to get back outside and explore the world. That refers to both local and foreign travellers. But… Hotels have been going under at such an alarming rate (another reminder of how great Tano Tena played out for our nation).

Holy dave has essentially done the feasibility test for you and yours: he started with just one spot and now has added a second (or third). The best part about it is that it would make the perfect side hustle. All you really have to do is invest in renting an apartment or home and furnishing it. Once that is done, you post it online and manage the requests from people looking to spend a weekend or a week in your pad.

Holy Dave knows that the absolute sweetest part of this deal is that most people pay via dollars. And at this point, Co-op bank becomes the perfect partner for your endeavours.
