Assuming that the house is 600m2 and that it cost 20k per sq m to build, the total cost should be 12m. Then add land at 3m to give total of 15m. Exactly.Why do pple like making it appear that its very rxpensive to build a house beyond the ordinary mans reach.Through experience,yes i say thru experience the most that Munene house could cost is Kshs.7m or even less unless he has used some out of this world finishings Kwanza with that mabati roofing which averagely cost him atmost 300k on the higher side.As i know in kenya with the cost of materials say sand,building bliocks,cement and even labour(unless you being conned by some brokers)being averagely reasonable with like 2m you can put up a serious structure physical structure.Now tell me even if you import a whole container of equipment and the like for finishings how does it add to those astronomical figures. True, if the house is about 500m2 and he used 15k per sq m that comes to 7.5m. I think people are so used to seeing 3bdr apartments being sold for 18-25m by greedy developers and houses in karen at 70m that they cant believe than an ordinary kenyan can build himself a mansion.

"Now," said the professor, as the laughter subsided, "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things -- your family, your partner, your health, your children, your friends, your favorite passions -- things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.
"The pebbles are the other things that matter, like your job, your house, your car. The sand is everything else -- the small stuff.
"If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued, "there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for your life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your partner out dancing. Play another 18. Yes @Radio and thankyou. That is all I have to say relative to the heading of thread. I have a slide show of it but am not able to post it here.I am analogueish. The most important part Quote:One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the beer represented. The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked. It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of beers. It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt...

Its quite easy in Kenya to own a house of one choice with proper planning. The guy bought the land in 2008( prices must have been quite fair then) and took like 4 yrs to build. If the hse is worth like 10m, that's approx 2.5m/yr and about 210k/mo assuming he did it pole pole. The pple envying him must be the same who said in 2008 huko ni mbali sana and are now partying there and returning to their Nbi SQs!

Hilarious comments from nation website.... C&P Quote:

To those rent payers criticising Munene's house, kindly upload photos of your landlords houses for all to see. Anyone who has built and knows the effort it takes to build a house wouldn't trash such a man. And about marriage, I know most of the haters are just jealous that Munene is still single. No one forced you to marry. Vumilia ulichojitakia.
