[Accra, Ghana – A contentious divorce case in Ghana has brought the lavish lifestyle of the children of Richard Nii Armah Quaye, known as RNAQ, into the public eye. The businessman’s separation from his wife, Joana Quaye, has ignited a debate over the children’s living standards and the amount of alimony awarded.].
In a ruling on January 20, 2026, the High Court of Ghana awarded Joana 300,000 cedis, or roughly 23,000 euros (15. 1 million FCFA), and a third of their home in Dansoman, along with two Jaguar FX cars and monthly maintenance for their three children. However, Joana’s appeal for 50 million cedis, or approximately 3.
83 million euros (2. 52 billion FCFA), was dismissed as “without foundation or basis.”The controversy deepened with the release of a video on April 11, 2026, by Gossip 24 TV, showing RNAQ’s children living in opulence.
The footage includes scenes of the children living in their father’s villa, traveling in his private jet, and driving his luxury cars. The stark contrast between the children’s lifestyle and the alimony awarded has sparked intense online reactions.
[The RNAQ divorce case has transcended its initial celebrity status, raising questions about the recognition of women’s contributions in marriages where their husband’s wealth grows exponentially. Joana asserts her role in building RNAQ’s empire, while the court’s decision has been met with criticism.].
As the appeal continues, the case resonates across West Africa, prompting discussions about the value of women’s contributions in long-term marriages and the societal implications of such high-profile disputes.
