A video filmed inside the Manhyia Palace garage showcased Otumfuo Osei Tutu II’s luxury cars, including a Mercedes-Benz, Bentley, Rolls-Royce, and other vintage vehiclesThe creator of the video bragged about the Asantehene’s wealth while jabbing other chiefs for not having even a fraction of Otumfuo’s wealthSocial media reactions were mixed, with some criticising the wealth on display despite the lack of development in some parts of the Ashanti region
A video showing the luxurious cars parked in the garage of the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, has surfaced on social media.
The video, which YEN.com.gh sighted on the Instagram page of GhPage TV, showed a proud Ashanti citizen recording the interior of the garage, located in Manhyia Palace.
It began with the person recording giving commentary about the wealth and power of the Asantehene and taking jabs at other chiefs in Ghana.
While bragging, the video took shots of the garage, which included a wide range of vehicles, including powerful Toyota V8s, luxurious Bentleys, and vintage Rolls-Royces.
“These are the Asantehene’s cars that he uses for trips. What other chief in Ghana can boast of such a huge number of cars, which gives people the audacity to compare them to Otumfuo? These are even the least of his cars. He has luxury cars and vintage cars from the past. We have two Rolls-Royces and a Benz,” he said.
The Instagram video showing the cars in Otumfuo’s garage is below.

Cars previously seen in Otumfuo’s garage include a Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Mercedes Maybach, Toyota, and other expensive cars, with some having customised number plates, “AS 1,” and a porcupine, the mascot of the Ashanti Kingdom, emblazoned on them.
