Media personalities are known for going the extra mile when it comes to giving their better halves that memorable birthday treat.
While most men would rather settle either for a bouquet of flowers, chocolates, dinner dates and other treats, some often take it up a notch and spend millions in order to appreciate their wives.
Kenyans.co.ke takes a look at five media personalities who broke the bank on their wives for their birthdays.
Uthiru MCA Erick Ndungu
MCA Erick Ndung'u surprised his wife Njeri Njoroge when he bought her a brand new white Mercedes Benz as her birthday gift on July 7, 2020.
The MCA had planned the surprise with the help of his wife’s friends among, them KTN presenter Milly Chebet. During the party, Njeri was tricked into the entrance of the hotel, where she found a brand new white Mercedes Benz adorned with balloons.
A brand new Mercedes Benz retails at around Ksh3.3 million.
She teared up as the car was driven towards her, and asked why none of her friends had hinted the surprise to her. The mother of two was overwhelmed when her two kids and hubby embraced her following the surprise. Soon after Njeri took her husband and children for a test drive. The two have been married for 12 years.
