My lecturer prophesied that I will visit him in UK with my private jet – Richard Quaye

Richard Nii Armah Quaye, Founder and Board Chairman of Bills Microcredit, has attributed his remarkable entrepreneurial success to a pivotal moment with one of his former lecturers in the UK.

In a recent interview with Bola Rayon Youtube and monitored by Graphic Showbiz, Quaye shared a transformative encounter he had with Michael Mainwaring, his lecturer at the London College of Accountancy.

He revealed that his lecturer approached him after class and inquired about his post-graduation plans.

“My lecturer, Michael Mainwaring, called me aside one day and asked, 'Richard, what are your plans after school?' And I was like, I’m trying to think about it to see whether I will go and he was like ‘No, I want to believe that when you go back home, you will succeed way better than when you stay here. 

“You will make it very big back home, and your success will open doors for you to return to the UK. But this time, you should come back in your private jet and come and pay me a visit,” he said.

According to him, the encounter shaped his life and that has seen him rise to prominence as a leading entrepreneur in Ghana today.

As he turns 40, Mr Quaye also reflected on his achievements and future aspirations, including his decision to retire at this milestone age.

"It is monumental for me. I plan on going into retirement at 40," he shared.

On Thursday, March 13, the entrepreneur captured public attention with his anticipated extravagant 40th birthday celebrations, which included the acquisition of a custom-branded private jet and a high-end Bugatti Chiron.

The private jet, prominently inscribed with his initials, RNAQ, was revealed in a post captioned, “…and I got myself a jet too #RNAQ40.”

The entrepreneur's flashy Instagram posts unveiling his latest luxury acquisitions sent shockwaves through social media, sparking a flurry of reactions. 

As his opulent lifestyle was put on full display, fans and followers were divided - some sang his praises and admired his success, while others were left stunned by the sheer scale of his wealth.

Quaye, who will celebrate his 40th birthday on Friday, March 21, 2025 had notable figures such as Ghanaian reggae/dancehall artist Stonebwoy, rapper Medikal and Nigerian music star Davido congratulating him in the comments section.
