The Ghanaian president, who is serving his second non-consecutive term at the Flagstaff House following his major victory in the 2024 general elections, has always lived a modest life despite amassing vast wealth through his political career and business ventures.
During the first year of his second term, President Mahama publicly declared two expensive vehicles: a white and black Rox 01 range-extended electric vehicle (EREV) and a black 2025 BYD Leopard 8, a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) designed for luxury and off-road use.
The president donated the cars he had received as gifts to the state on Monday, May 5, 2025, after unveiling a code of conduct for his political appointees at the Flagstaff House.
The president declared and donated the two SUVs as part of his pledge to lead a government that operated with honour and dignity and ensured that all officials adhered to strict ethical standards.
He also announced that he would use his personal cars instead of the state vehicles, to which he was entitled, for official duties.

At most high-profile events he has attended since his return to power, President John Dramani Mahama has been spotted cruising in a customised bulletproof Toyota Land Cruiser LC300 Extreme Edition.

He reportedly received the Toyota vehicle as a gift from his younger brother and business mogul Ibrahim Mahama, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Engineers and Planners.
Built for all-terrain, the Toyota LC300 Extreme Edition also offers a sleek interior and comfortable space for multiple passengers.
The vehicle is also equipped with several advanced technologies, including a 12.3-inch touchscreen for entertainment purposes.
The Toyota vehicle also prioritises passenger safety with its unique 360-degree camera and Crawl Control to help drivers navigate severe terrain at a fixed low speed without using the accelerator or brake.
At the time, President Mahama's Toyota LC300 Extreme Edition was reported to be worth around $600,000.
