Little is known of Robert Kirubi, a son to the later venture capitalist Dr Chris Kirubi.
In September 2020, Kirubi first spoke of his children Robert Kirubi and his daughter Maryanne Musangi.

Kirubi during an interview with Churchill said that Maryanne has been helping him in managing his empire.
She is the managing director for Haco Industries.
“My daughter is here in Kenya is the MD of my factory, Haco Industries,” Kirubi said.
Speaking of Robert, he said that: My son is in Brussels, he works for DHL. I think they pay him so much money he refused to work for me but it’s good he has also accumulated a lot of experience.”
Robert is an alumni of Hillcrest School and the prestigious St Mary’s School. He then flew to the US and enrolled for a Bachelor of Science degree from North Eastern University in Boston.
He has since lived abroad after completing his studies.
