Wicknell Chivayo Rolls Royce Arrival
In short
A custom $560,000 Rolls-Royce Phantom has arrived in Harare, Zimbabwe, two weeks after the death of its owner, businessman Wicknell Chivayo. The vehicle arrived following Chivayo's fatal helicopter crash which also claimed the life of his wife.
In plain words
A very expensive luxury car has reached Zimbabwe despite the man who bought it being dead. Chivayo died in a helicopter accident recently, leaving behind many high-value items like this car and a private jet.
A simple example
A $560,000 Rolls-Royce arrived in the capital city weeks after Chivayo's funeral was held.
Why it matters
The arrival highlights the massive wealth and controversial lifestyle Chivayo maintained through government contracts. It also raises questions about the future of his expensive assets, such as his grounded Gulfstream jet.
Easy to mix up
Do not confuse this car arrival with the Gulfstream G550 jet, which is also sitting ownerless at the airport.
