Kenyans commented on Malot’s wealth
Many said that earning that amount of money can make a 20-year-old man confused, so staying humble is a matter of honor for him.
Some gasped in amazement that the young MC is now richer than some of his teachers, a funny but powerful reminder of how talent and opportunity can change lives overnight.
Nick Koech Tinget: “Discipline is in his blood. Many people would be in Mombasa already absorbing their own money!”
Paul Kipruto: “Discipline is important, but from time to time he can check the well-being of any part-time teacher he studies.”
John Ouma: “He knows what brought him to school. He must give first class, I think. But don’t ask me why.”
Jasper Ezekiel: “You go to school, you pay money, so you can earn a lot of money in the future. Now that he has made a lot of money, why shouldn’t he invest?”
For Malot, fame and fortune seem secondary.
He continues to focus on completing his studies while developing his talent which has made him one of the most sought after young entertainers in the region.
