Kenyan Who Arrived in US With Just $200 Now Drives Presidents, First Ladies and Hollywood Stars

Eliud Mwaura Kimani is a Kenyan entrepreneur who transformed his experience as a taxi driver in the United States into a luxury travel business serving some of the world’s most influential personalities.

Kimani is the founder and CEO of Liberty Travel Group, a Texas-based company specialising in VIP transportation and executive travel services.

His journey in the US began nearly 20 years ago when he arrived as a visitor. Without savings or a stable job, he survived by taking various low-paying jobs before joining the transport industry as a taxi driver.

His biggest turning point came on December 23, 2009, when he quit his employment with barely $200 from his final paycheck. He had no savings or loan but decided to pursue his ambitions.

He initially drove a taxi for another person before eventually buying his own vehicle. In 2012, he closed his taxi business and established a limousine company, which later developed into Liberty Travel Group.

Today, his company serves Fortune 500 executives, celebrities, presidents, vice presidents, prime ministers, first ladies and government delegations visiting the United States.

The business has a fleet of at least six luxury vehicles and employs six full-time staff, while working with at least 30 affiliates across the country.
