Musa Gurian is a prominent Kenyan businessman best known for his large-scale involvement in the miraa (khat) trade. He has gained a reputation as one of Kenya’s wealthier, yet low-profile, entrepreneurs. Here’s a detailed look:
Business Background & Wealth
Gurian made his fortune through exporting miraa (also called khat), a popular stimulant plant grown in parts of East Africa and consumed widely in Kenya and abroad.
He notably owns at least 12 private aircraft—mostly Cessnas and similar small planes—used to transport miraa internationally, especially to Middle Eastern and European markets. This gives him a significant advantage in speed and logistics.
While exact net-worth figures are scarce, the scale of his export operations and ownership of a personal fleet strongly indicate he’s among the wealthiest miraa traders in Kenya.
Family & Personal Life
Public information about his personal life and family is minimal. There are no widely available sources detailing his relatives, marital status, or children.
He appears to maintain a private lifestyle, avoiding extensive media exposure beyond his business ventures.
Estimated Net Worth
There is no precise valuation publicly available, but his status as a major miraa exporter and owner of multiple aircraft suggests a net worth in the tens to hundreds of millions of Kenyan shillings, potentially reaching into several millions of USD, though that remains speculative.
