A viral video of a Kenyan woman counting massive daily earnings from her pool table business sparks an online debate about the profitability of the informal sector.

In an economy where white-collar jobs are scarce, a video of a Kenyan woman counting a literal mountain of coins has become an unlikely symbol of hope. The clip, captioned "Tuchukue sadaka" (Let's collect the offering), shows the entrepreneur sorting thousands of shillings in KES 20 coins earned from her pool table business.
The video has racked up millions of views on TikTok, sparking a debate about the profitability of the "Kadogo Economy." While many Kenyans chase office jobs, the woman—whose identity remains withheld—demonstrated the raw cash-flow potential of the entertainment sector in low-income areas.
Commentators were quick to do the math. "If she collects that bag daily, she is earning more than a senior manager," noted one user. The video sheds light on the informal sector's "silent millionaires"—business owners who deal exclusively in cash and operate under the radar of the taxman.
Ultimately, the video is a testament to resilience. Amid complaints about the cost of living, here was tangible proof that money is still circulating—if you know where to look. As one comment summed it up: "Respect the shilling; it builds the mansion."
