Kwaku Oteng, Obofour, Taabea, Wontumi, Obinim And Other Rich People Who Drive Rolls-Royce In Kumasi
- Rolls-Royce cars have a long history of being associated with the affluent in Ghanaian society, and the trend is continuing
- Many wealthy people are now buying different types of Rolls-Royce in a bid to show off their wealth
- While this phenomenon was more prevalent in Accra, the trend has transcended to Kumasi, with some of the city's wealthiest people acquiring Rolls-Royce
The luxury car brand Rolls-Royce has always been associated with affluence in Ghana. The nation's founder, Dr Kwame Nkrumah, used to ride in one.
Even before Ghana came into being, Asantehene Osei Agyeman Prempeh II had ridden in a Rolls-Royce for the restoration of the Asante Kingdom in 1935. That car is still around and was recently used by Otumfuo Osei Tutu II.
In recent times, Rolls-Royce has become a status symbol for Ghana's wealth class. Businessman Osei Kwame Despite and his friends own fleets of these cars, making the brand quite common in Accra.
