Kenyan social media users have been treated to yet another unusual display of luxury and flamboyance after forex trader and content creator Chuka Kenyan Prince shared a video of himself washing his hands with Hennessy while partying at a club.
The video, which quickly caught attention online, shows the forex trader using the expensive cognac to clean his hands instead of drinking it, leaving many wondering whether the move was simply for entertainment, a show of wealth, or part of a growing trend among young Kenyan high earners.
For Chuka Kenyan Prince, the moment appeared to be less about practicality and more about making a statement. In the world of social media, where luxury cars, designer outfits, expensive watches and lavish nights out have become common symbols of success, even an ordinary act such as washing one’s hands can become content.
A Trend Among Forex Traders?
The Hennessy handwashing stunt is not entirely new among Kenyan forex personalities. Similar displays have occasionally been associated with traders and influencers who use expensive alcohol and other luxury items as part of their nightlife lifestyle.

Another name that has been associated with the flashy forex lifestyle is content creator Thee Pluto. While different personalities have their own ways of showcasing their success, the common thread is the desire to display a lifestyle built around money, entertainment, and luxury.
For some followers, such videos are simply harmless entertainment. Others, however, question the message behind repeatedly showcasing extravagant spending, especially to young people who may only see the glamorous side of the lifestyle.
