Malot, who was already hailed as the youngest Kalenjin MC, had collected over KSh 5 million over the weekend.
How Malot made millions of money
According to Mr. Arap Kemei, the young man had spent Sunday leading a major Music Empowerment and Support event at the Flax Stadium in Uasin Gishu County.
The event, which attracted thousands, saw him garner millions of likes, thanks, and support, pushing his total net worth to KSh 10 million, an astonishing feat for a second-year university student.
However, even with that level of success, Malot chose a more conventional path: returning to the classroom like any other student.
On campus, classmates describe him as welcoming and grounded, often seen juggling school work with a fast-growing career in entertainment.

Kenyans are talking about Malot’s new wealth
Many commented that amassing that amount of money would likely leave any 20-year-old frustrated, so staying unemployed is a good thing for him.
Some whispered in amazement that the young MC is now richer than several of his lecturers, an amusing but powerful reminder of how talent and opportunity can change lives in an instant.
“Discipline is in his blood,” Nick Koech Tinget joked. “Many people would already be in Mombasa eating life with a big spoon!”
Paul Kipruto
“Discipline is important, but he can occasionally check on the welfare of any part-time lecturer he teaches.”
John Ouma
“He knows what brought him to school. He must graduate with first class honors, I think. But don’t ask me why.”
Jasper Ezekiel
“You go to school, you pay money so that you can make a lot of money in the future. Now that he has already made a lot of money, why can’t he invest?”
For Malot, fame and fortune seem secondary. He remains focused on completing his studies while developing the talent that has placed him among the most sought after young entertainers in the area.
