A United States of America golf store owner once doubted late billionaire Chris Kirubi’s ability to buy an item from his shop. To confirm Kirubi’s purchasing power, the store owner called the tycoon’s bank inquiring about his value.

The caller was shocked to be told by a representative of Kirubi’s bank in Switzerland that the billionaire could “buy his entire shop”.
