    In 2018, he toured Kenya with a customised Volkswagen Crafter CR53 Maxi. The luxurious vehicle was estimated to cost an average of Ksh25 million with features such as interior and exterior CCTV cameras, a play station, rotating seats, a fridge, 3D TV screens and a coffeemaker.

In 2018 during a season's break, he had revealed his plans of purchasing a luxury house in Zanzibar but the plans were quashed after the EPL season resumed.  

    In addition, Wanyama owns a world-class academy in Busia called Victor Wanyama Foundation- which focuses on sports, education, health and wildlife.

    Aside from sports activities, the foundation sponsors needy students through scholarships, creates job opportunities and sensitizes people on the protection of wildlife threatened by illegal trade.
