Prominent Ghanaian businessman Richard Nii Armah Quaye, known as RNAQ, has publicly rejected claims that his wealth was built during his marriage, insisting he was already financially stable before tying the knot.
His remarks come as a high-profile divorce case against his ex-wife continues to unfold, drawing public attention due to the substantial assets involved and the prolonged legal proceedings.
In his latest comments, RNAQ firmly disputed arguments that his business empire and financial foundation were established while he was married. He maintains that his wealth predates the union and should be treated as such during property division talks.
“I had money before marrying her,” RNAQ stated, pushing back against any suggestion that his ex-wife is entitled to a share of assets he brought into the marriage.
The divorce case has already seen legal battles over property settlement, financial contributions, and maintenance arrangements. His ex-wife is reportedly seeking a fair portion of the couple’s assets, arguing that her role during the marriage contributed to the stability and growth of their joint life.
Legal observers note the case raises broader questions about how Ghanaian courts assess marital property, especially in long-term, high-net-worth marriages. Disputes often hinge on defining what constitutes joint contribution versus separate, pre-existing wealth.
The matter remains before the court, with both parties continuing to present their positions as public debate grows over fairness, ownership, and the division of assets when wealthy marriages end in conflict.
