Ugandan entrepreneur and beauty products dealer Dr. Ritah Katana, popularly known as Ssenga Ritah Katana, has left social media buzzing after gifting her six-year-old son a Mercedes-Benz C200 reportedly worth UGX 100 million as a birthday present.
The celebrated businesswoman, who owns Ritah Katana Beauty Centre, surprised her son with the luxury vehicle during his birthday celebrations, with videos and photos of the gift quickly going viral across TikTok, Facebook, and X.
According to reports, Dr. Ritah also promised her son that he would receive a Range Rover Vogue in the future, adding to the excitement surrounding the lavish celebration.
While the six-year-old is far too young to drive, the extravagant gift has generated widespread discussion online, with many praising Dr. Ritah’s success and ability to spoil her child.
Others, however, questioned whether such an expensive gift is practical for a child, sparking debate about parenting, wealth display, and luxury lifestyles in Uganda.
Dr. Ritah Katana is one of Uganda’s most recognizable beauty entrepreneurs, known for her herbal skincare and personal care products. Beyond business, she has built a strong following on social media through her “Ssenga” persona, where she shares relationship advice, lifestyle content, and business tips.
The Mercedes-Benz gift has now become one of the most talked-about celebrity lifestyle stories online, with netizens continuing to weigh in on whether it was an inspiring gesture or an over-the-top display of wealth.
