Wednesday, November 12, 2025 - Media personality, Kamene Goro, has sparked a wave of reactions online after disclosing that the lowest rent she’s ever paid was Ksh 55,000 per month.
The revelation came during an Instagram Q&A, where the
former Kiss FM presenter opened up about her lifestyle and financial journey.
The figure, which many Kenyans found staggering, quickly
went viral, prompting Kamene to respond via Instagram Stories:
“Everybody has a different start to life. Don’t be pressed
about mine.”
Her comment came amid mixed reactions - some fans were
amused, others shocked by what she considered “cheap” rent.
The conversation reignited debates around privilege, income
gaps, and urban living standards.
Kamene has previously spoken about her earnings in media,
revealing earlier this year that she once earned over Ksh 1 million monthly
while working in radio.
Appearing on a cooking show hosted by Boina, she described
radio as “a very lucrative career where you can earn good money.”
When asked if she’d host a Kiswahili radio show for a
similar salary, she replied, “I have been paid more than that,” but declined
the idea, citing her struggles with Swahili fluency.
“My radio style is all about life stories and crazy
experiences, not formal presentations,” she said.
