Ugandan billionaire Sudhir Ruparelia lives in an imposing Kampala mansion valued at approximately KSh1 billion, featuring 16 bedrooms, five kitchens and a wine cellar holding more than 33,000 bottles.
Known as Ruparelia Residence, the property is located on Plot 9, Kawalya Kaggwa Close, in lower Kololo, Uganda. The mansion was designed by his wife, Jyostna Ruparelia, in collaboration with the group’s architect, Kristen Kirsten.
The four-storey residence has a built-up area of 9,000 square metres, while its parking, gardens and swimming pool occupy another 4,000 square metres.
One of its most striking features is the wine cellar, which is temperature-controlled and accommodates over 33,000 bottles representing 200 varieties of vintage wines and whiskies.
The mansion also has a banquet room capable of hosting up to 160 people, a 12-seater cinema, more than three bars, a gym, a salon and spa.
Construction, design and furnishing of the residence cost slightly above KSh1 billion and took four years to complete.
