SHOCKED -Less than 15,000 employed Nairobian's earn more than 100K pm

Reading this online that only about 15k Nairobians earn more than 100k, aii kwani how much does a regular guy earn in the Capital? Explain all the cars the boozing and flashy lifstyle of you Nairobi guys (is this thread in the right place to begin with)

I'm surprised and no the thread is not in the right place. Do you know where club SK is? Take it there in the life section.

Have they factored in people in business who don't earn a regular salary but make tonnes of cash? The reason I doubt this figure is because there are too many rental houses going for 20k a month and over.

BBI will solve it :)

It obviously doesn't make sense. 100k a month gets you to live in a 20k to 30k house a month. How many of such houses exist?

For many Nairobians, I have come to realize, what they pay as rent doesn't collate with their salaries. I knew a chap who was earning 50k net and staying in 30k two bedroom.

100K is payslip before you factor in stealing, kickbacks, corruption, bank loans, shylock, merry-go-round, chama etc.
In the business world, everyone is paid in two coins - cash and experience. Take the experience first; the cash will come later - H Geneen

And some receptionists, secretaries etc. earning 30,000/= but who pay a monthly rent of 40,000/=.

Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

This is so wrong. As someone said above, look at the rents in Nairobi, number of cars on the road which i assume are mainly financed by employers. I believe many guys who are driving (loan cars) are earning more than 80k, conservatively. Many parastatals, govt employees(Mpigs, civil service) are averagely paid - btn 70k and 800k. What of some bankers, NGOs etc. That actual figure is so many times higher.

Majority of Kenyans are "under the ladder" so they are never in the official statistics. The informal and small business sector have quite a pool of "millionaires" who are officially "unemployed".
