Why I’m stingy – Singer Akon

“If you want to stay rich, stay stingy,” says Akon. “I’m the most frugal man on the planet.”

He also urged colleagues and admirers not to acquire a private plane in order to “stay rich.”

He said, “Whatever you do, do not own a [private] jet. Bro, owning a jet is spending at least 2-3 million dollars a year just for upkeep [maintenance]. You spend more on the maintenance than the actual jet cost. This is the advice I give everybody. The money that you have now has to last you a lifetime. When you reason it that way, you are going to be very prudent.”
