Kwame Despite buys new limited ‘Star Trooper’ Mercedes-AMG G63

Ghana’s Dr. Osei Kwame Despite is undoubtedly one of Africa’s most successful businessmen we can boast of.

As the chairman of the Despite Group of Companies, he controls a conglomerate that spans interests in trading, manufacturing, real estate and media.

Though he is rarely seen on TV or heard on the radio, his philanthropic works and wealth always secure him a spotlight in the media.

The latest about the businessman is his purchase of one of the 20 limited models of the “Star Trooper” Mercedes-AMG G63.

This Exclusive 20th Anniversary Edition sees Mansory joining forces with Philipp Plein to select a truly stellar package of components from its tuning programme for the Mercedes-AMG G 63.

The premium all-terrain vehicle comes to the stage at a unique moment in a strictly limited production run of 20 models. Its price to the public starts from $602,045.
