Among Rich Sparkle's goals is the creation of an AI version of Lame that will make multilingual social media content by mimicking his face, voice and mannerisms. His most popular content comes in the form of wordless videos, anyway, which the company acknowledged makes him able to "scale across languages and cultures without translation." The AI clone will provide a method for posting more content that spans across time zones.
Content creator Khaby Lame has sold his core company for $975m (R15 518 311 575). The 25-year-old Italian citizen of Senegalese descent sold his company, Step Distinctive Limited, which manages his global brand and commercial activities, to Rich Sparkle. According to PRNewsire, Rich Sparkle is a Hong Kong-based US-listed company. The acquisition signals a shift from one-off brand deals to a structured, exclusive, full-chain, platform-style commercialisation system.
The transaction involves the partial sale of his company, Step Distinctive Limited, to Rich Sparkle Holdings, a United States-listed firm that disclosed the acquisition alongside a broader strategic partnership focused on scaling Lame's commercial operations worldwide. Under the agreement, Rich Sparkle, through its operating partners, will hold exclusive rights to Khaby Lame's global commercial activities for an initial period of 36 months.
