Many Kenyans might be admiring a life most socialites live. But do you ever think of how hard they struggle to make that money to guarantee them that kind of life?
The good story is that most socialites are millionaires living above the normal standard of life. They do make money from featuring in adverts and music videos or any other promotion from big companies, within and even beyond the borders.
On the other hand, the sad story from them is that they end up engaging in unthinkable things before making that big money. How? And why?
Socialite Bridgette Achieng shared her story with BBC Africa Eye, where she revealed that "Nothing goes for nothing"
Bridgette grew up in Kibera slums where she ended up working as a house-girl before emerging to the world as a curvy socialite. One of this big misery she faced, which was hard for her to forget until she turned 25 was being in the hands of a rapist.
"Rape is rampant in the ghetto, no one is coming out to talk about but I was molested when a kid and it really affected me until I was 25," she said.
The socialite revealed that she had had to do prostitution to make the money she wanted for a life she is living now.
"I wouldn't say I didn't try, You are a desperate girl looking for money and you are getting a guy who wants to give you $10,000 just to go visit him in Dubai or wherever, You just need to look pretty and go get your $10,000," she added.
Nevertheless, the money she made, she regrets doing the business because what socialites go through to make that money.
"It is crazy things you are asked to do, you are told to suck toes, to do what....it's crazy, I don't want to go into details about that because it freaks me, I don't want to scare our people," she told BBC News Africa.
She went ahead to advise young girls out there that "there is nothing for nothing, you want a million bucks, you will do something worth million bucks".
You should also know that she did the unworthy thing because she was a desperate woman. She is now living a good life with an orphanage in Kibera with 30 kids.
It is something I did when I was at my desperate moment, it’s not something any woman should be proud of doing," she concluded.
