International sensation Senegalese-American singer Akon recently made a thought-provoking revelation during his appearance on the Impulsive Podcast.
The ‘Blame It On Me’ crooner, who is renowned for his success and wealth, declared himself as “the stingiest man on the planet” and emphasized the importance of frugality in maintaining financial prosperity.
Akon explained, “If you want to stay rich, stay stingy. I’m the stingiest man on the planet.” He also offered practical advice to colleagues, discouraging them from owning private jets if they aim to preserve their wealth.
He elaborated further, stating, “Whatever you do, do not own a [private] jet. Bro, owning a jet means spending at least 2-3 million dollars a year just for upkeep and maintenance. You spend more on maintenance than the actual cost of the jet. This is the advice I give everybody: The money you have now has to last you a lifetime. When you think about it that way, you’re going to be very prudent.”
