The TikTok video, which quickly spread online, captured Quaye behind the wheel of the luxury vehicle as curious residents watched in disbelief. The road he was driving on was in a visibly poor condition, with a few potholes and rough patches.

Netizens who saw the video raised concerns about the state of roads in Ghana, especially in areas where high-end vehicles like the Bugatti werey not suited. Many said it was worrying that such expensive cars had to move on damaged roads.

The Bugatti Chiron is one of the most expensive sports cars in the world, with a starting price of about $3 million. Some versions can cost up to $10 million. The car was recently cleared at Tema Port and had already attracted attention when it arrived in Ghana.

Richard Quaye, the founder of Bills Micro Credit, bought the vehicle as part of his 40th birthday celebrations. He also purchased a private jet with his initials boldly printed on it, adding to the luxury theme of his milestone.

The rich businessman is known for collecting high-end assets, and this Bugatti is one of many on his growing list. Before his purchase, Osei Kwame Despite was the only Ghanaian known to own a car from the brand.
