Interesting scenes captured at Dr Ofori Sarpong’s 60th birthday soirée

Family, friends, and loved ones gathered in a celebratory atmosphere at the Despite Automobile Museum on May 5, 2026, for a birthday soiree in honour of business mogul Dr Ernest Ofori Sarpong.

The celebration, which marked his 60th birthday, was preceded by a philanthropic gesture as the founder of Special Group of Companies commissioned a 600-unit ultra-modern dormitory for Presbyterian Boys’ Secondary School.

In another major highlight ahead of the party, Dr Ofori Sarpong also marked his 60th birthday with the acquisition of a nearly $1 million Rolls-Royce Cullinan Mansory, a luxury statement that matched the scale of the occasion.

The main soiree itself was an eye-opener, with a stunning display of luxury vehicles and prominent personalities converging under one roof.

Guests adhered to an all-white dress code, giving the event a refined and uniform aesthetic.

Mansion-shaped cake steals attention

One of the standout moments of the night was the unveiling of Dr Ofori Sarpong’s birthday cake, designed in the shape of the “ship house” that hosts Despite Media.

The huge cake was intricately detailed, featuring logos of the various media outlets under the business empire.

Despite joins live band on stage

In a spontaneous moment, business mogul Osei Kwame Despite joined the live band on stage during a performance of Kwabena Kwabena’s “Adult Music.”

Taking to the microphone briefly, he sang along, delighting guests at the celebration of his close friend and business partner.

Cash giveaways

The night also featured a philanthropic twist as Osei Kwame Despite and Richard Nii Armah Quaye distributed $5,000 to attendees.

Interestingly, the giveaway came with a challenge for female guests: anyone who could sing Samini’s song word-for-word during his performance stood a chance to walk away with the cash.

Star-studded musical performances

Due to the close relationship both Dr Ofori Sarpong and Osei Kwame Despite have maintained with Ghana’s creative industry, the event was filled with performances from top-tier artistes.

The stage featured Samini, Stonebwoy, Becca, Fameye, Kwabena Kwabena, legendary Kojo Antwi, and several others who delivered fan-favourite hits throughout the evening.

A rare gathering of influential figures

Beyond the entertainment and luxury, what stood out most was the calibre of personalities in attendance.

The event brought together figures from across Ghana’s political, business, religious, and entertainment spaces, a rare convergence under one roof.

Among the notable attendees were former President John Agyekum Kufuor, former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia and his wife, Chief of Staff Julius Debrah, businessman Kevin Okyere, Nana Kwame Bediako, Akwaboah, Nana Ama McBrown, CID Director-General Lydia Donkor, Energy Minister John Jinapor, and several other high-profile guests.
