Top 5 “Tycoons” That Are No More. Baddawa?
When we speak of Tycoons, Uganda has had its fair share of those over the years.
These Self styled money bags usually flood the Kampala entertainment scene with money we are not aware of its origin. As is, they disappear like they came.
Today, we are counting them down and reliving these memories.

This One is the Pioneer of this tycoon business in Uganda. Mike most profound moment was when he paraded a heap if dollars way before even 10% of Uganda’s population had seen a dollar. It is said however that these we fake but he never stayed around long enough to explain. He has since disappeared in thin air.
- Sue Ochola
Who can forget the endless Arab parties with this one. Sue made a name for herself in kampala’s most affluent societies for the money she threw around. Who can tell where she is now.
