Wicknell Chivayo flaunts custom private jet as he gives fans glimpse of how he travels

Zimbabwean tycoon Wicknell Chivayo, who is a close friend of President William Ruto, has offered a glimpse into his lavish mode of travel, showing off a custom white private jet whose wings bear the initials WMC 777, believed to represent his initials and personal branding.

In a video shared on TikTok on Friday, August 14, 2026, Chivayo is seen seated comfortably on one of the jet’s plush white-cushioned seats beside a window, while several of his family members occupy other seats inside the aircraft.

In the video, they sang joyous songs as the jet cruised high above the clouds, with the celebratory mood inside the aircraft continuing as they travelled.

He then shared the view from his window, where the jet’s pristine white wing could be seen bearing the initials WMC 777, which are associated with his name, further showcasing the highly personalised nature of the aircraft.

The weather seemed foggy according to the video, as mist could be seen lingering around the rear section of the wing as the jet climbed higher into the sky.

Rolls-Royce ride

This came just hours before the popular businessman shared a video of himself cruising in a custom white Rolls-Royce Phantom, leaving people debating just how lavish his lifestyle is.

In the video, Chivayo sang along to a Zimbabwean song as he cruised in the luxury vehicle, donning a white T-shirt and appearing to be in high spirits.

He seemed happy and repeatedly glanced at the camera as he recorded his journey aboard the luxury vehicle, which had a custom roof designed to resemble a star-filled night sky.

Charlene’s Koito

Elsewhere, the businessman, who is married to Lulu Chivayo, revealed an unusual encounter with President William Ruto after attending the traditional engagement celebration of his daughter, Charlene.

In an X post on Monday, August 10, 2026, the Zimbabwean entrepreneur said he initially believed the engagement celebration was already the highlight of his day, only to discover that Ruto had one more surprise for him before he left.

“After attending the beautiful engagement celebration of the daughter of His Excellency, President William Samoei Ruto, I honestly thought the day could not get any more special,” Chivayo wrote.

He said the unexpected moment came as he was leaving the venue and realised that the President himself had offered to drive him to the helipad where he had left his helicopter.

According to Chivayo, the distance between the venue and the helipad was approximately three kilometres.

The businessman described the short journey as one of the most memorable experiences of his life, particularly because Ruto was personally behind the steering wheel.

Chivayo said he occupied the front passenger seat while his wife sat in the back, with Ruto driving them towards the helicopter.

“Imagine me sitting in the front passenger seat with my wife at the back while the President of the Republic of Kenya, the Head of State himself, was behind the steering wheel personally driving me to the chopper,” he wrote.

The unusual experience left Chivayo reflecting on his relationship with Ruto and what he described as an extraordinary display of favour and grace.

He said that despite having experienced an opulent lifestyle and numerous memorable moments, the journey stood out because it was something he had never experienced before.

“I sat there overwhelmed with joy, thinking, ‘God, what kind of grace is this?’” Chivayo wrote.
