Ghanaian entrepreneur Richard Nii Armah Quaye, Founder of Bills Microcredit and Quick Angels, is reported to have amassed a net worth of approximately $800 million as of early 2026, according to widely circulated online estimates.

Popularly known as RNAQ, he has become a dominant force in Ghana’s financial services sector, earning recognition for his high-growth strategies and expanding business empire.

Google estimates his net worth at around $800 million, reflecting significant growth in recent years.

Quaye’s journey to wealth began in 2009 when he founded Quick Credit and Investment Micro-Credit Limited, now rebranded as Bills Microcredit, which has grown into a major player in the lending space.

Beyond lending, he has made a name for himself in investment circles through Quick Angels Limited, a firm focused on providing equity financing to promising businesses.

His portfolio also includes investments in companies such as Ridge Medical Center, Addicent Foods (producers of Benjie Rice), and Sunsolar, reflecting a diversified approach to wealth creation.

RNAQ has gained public attention for his lavish lifestyle, including high-end watches and the reported purchase of a Bugatti Chiron, placing him among the richest Ghanaian entrepreneurs.

One of the most talked-about moments was his 40th birthday celebration, which featured a custom outfit valued at over $350,000, including a Richard Mille watch worth more than $323,000.

Despite his success, Quaye has signaled a shift in focus, announcing his retirement from the day-to-day management of Bills Microcredit to concentrate on broader investment ventures.

Over the years, his achievements have earned him recognition within Ghana’s business community, including being adjudged the overall winner at the 40 Under 40 Awards in 2020.

He was also recently honored by GhanaWeb at the 2025 GhanaWeb Excellence Awards, receiving the GhanaWeb Excellence in Humanitarian Award in recognition of his philanthropic efforts, including the establishment of food banks across the country to support the poor and needy.
