Zimbabwean rich guy Sir Wicknell Chivayo lives large and amazes many people. He is one of Africa's richest business leaders, often seen in news stories because he spends lots of money. Yet he has given away more cash than he has used for himself in recent times.
Let's look at his biggest purchase—a huge home in a nice part of Harare. This grand house became famous when Sir Wicknell shared a video last year. People went crazy about it online. Worth $7 million, equal to R129 million, this place represents what most of us dream about but can never have.
The massive home keeps showing up as a hot topic, and not just because it costs a lot. Norman Bakos created this beautiful building with fancy modern design features. Even though Sir Wicknell stays private about most things in his life, his big house has become very public.
His property sits in a green, leafy area of Harare and covers 17 hectares of valuable land. Reports say the palace has more than seven fancy bedrooms. The walls are made of glass to let sunshine pour inside. The garage fits three fancy cars, including his brand-new 2024 Rolls-Royce Spectre, which he was among the first people to buy.
But that's just the start of what makes this place special. The grounds include a full-size tennis court where he can play matches. A beautiful swimming pool offers a place to cool off during hot days. Perhaps most impressive, the estate even has its very built-in helipad for helicopter landings right at home.
