Zimbabwean business tycoon Wicknell Chivayo has once again captivated social media with his opulent lifestyle, reportedly spending a staggering $3 million USD on four brand new luxury vehicles. The self-proclaimed ‘Sir’ of Zimbabwe showcased his latest acquisitions, which include a Rolls-Royce Cullinan, a Rolls-Royce Phantom, a Rolls-Royce Ghost, and a Range Rover Autobiography SV, adding to his already impressive collection.
Adding to the extravagance, Chivayo also shared a receipt from the Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (ZIMRA), revealing that he paid a colossal US$983,000 in duty alone for one of the vehicles – a 2026 facelift Rolls-Royce Phantom VIII. This particular model, fitted with a customized MWM number plate, has a base price starting at approximately $520,000 USD, escalating with options.
Viral videos circulating online show a church leader consecrating and blessing two of the cars at London Heathrow Airport cargo, before their journey to Zimbabwe. The other two vehicles are reportedly in Durban and Sandton, also awaiting transport home. Chivayo, a devout member of an apostolic sect, frequently attributes his financial success to his faith, a sentiment echoed by the elder in the video who declared the cars a ‘manifestation of God’s grace’.
The lavish display has ignited a frenzy on social media, with many congratulating Chivayo on his acquisitions, while others have criticized the perceived extravagance and opulence.
