Linus Kaikai
Linus Kaikai is among the most prominent journalists in the country and judging by the stature of his role at Royal Media Service (RMS) owned Citizen TV, he is among the highest-paid media personalities in the country.
Kaikai owns a palatial home in the outskirts of Rongai town, Kajiado County.
Tucked in Rongai, the two-storey building boasts an amazing design and white exterior.
The compound has a well-manicured lawn along with a variety of tastefully selected and well-maintained flowers. The compound also has a vegetable garden that is protected with a chain link.

Gidi Gidi
Gidi Gidi is widely known for his famous 'Patanisho Show' on Radio Jambo. Before joining the media industry, Gidi was a musician and one-half of the Gidi Gidi Maji Maji duo.
The radio presenter has built a palatial home at his rural home in Kanyamwa area, Ndhiwa, Homa Bay County.
The home sits on a huge parcel of land and has no nearby buildings, meaning there'll be privacy and a good environment to relax considering that it is not located in an urban setup.

Being one of the leading Swahili radio presenters in the country and having previously worked at top radio stations such as
Q FM and Milele FM, it is not a surprise that she owns a posh home.
