Questions have been raised if Bahati and Diana Marua’s expensive gifts are merely a publicity stunt because they are never seen with the cars gifted each other.
Bahati married Diana on October 20th 2017, and by February 2022 they have spent at least Ksh244 million on gifts alone.
Note that some of these gifts usually disappear after Diana and Bahati take photos and post them on social media.
The two lovebirds have a knack for showing off their expensive gifts on social media, below is a chronological order of the gifts since 2018:
July 2018: Mercedes Benz E-class 2011 Ksh3.5 million
Just days after launching his new show on NTV called ‘Being Bahati’, Bahati took to social media to show off his brand new Mercedes Benz E-class 2011. The car costs about Ksh3.5 million.

February 2022: Another fully furnished mansion Ksh27.5 million
Bahati and his wife Diana kicked off the month of love with a declaration that they will be appreciating each other with a total of five gifts, as the world marks Valentine’s Day.
Bahati presented a fully furnished house to his wife and she could not hold back her tears.
“I have taken time to get you this gift because this has been your dream for so long. This is your gift you can be proud of it and be proud that you own it… I know you have been waiting for so long and I know you are not expecting this but… You are now a proud owner of this Mansion and it’s fully furnished,” Bahati said.
In total, Bahati and Diana Marua have spent at least Ksh244 million in gifts alone. The celebrity couple must be worth at least one billion shillings to spend that much.
However, like stated earlier, most of those expensive gifts are merely a showoff. Most of the cars Bahati and Diana gifted each other disappeared after they showed them off.
Note that the flamboyant celebrity couple mostly don’t post registration numbers of the cars they gifted each other, with NTSA motor vehicle search you can easily find the true owners of those vehicles.
Even the fully furnished houses they showed off, they are just promoting real estate companies.
