Have you ever for once wondered why most world billionaires don't show off consistently their wealth and materialistic aspects of their life?
Why do you think they don't

Because they understand time is money and would rather take that time to maximize their earnings.

God doesn't need to prove that the sky is blue. We all can see it.

The same way everyone can tell they are wealthy without them needing to prove so.

Cos Old Money don't Smell.
Na New Money (People wen just begin dey see Money) dey make noise.

If you observe people wen just see 3.5km of 3 lane road, you go see say their shout too much, na cos dem just dey experience am ni.

Person wen just dey see Big things go dey flaunt am but person wen don old for the game go just quiet.

1. Looking at this picture alone, Age seems like a factor. Younger people have more tendency to show off than older people eg. Davido and his Father.
2. They are very busy people, not as flexible as entertainers or influencers or even sportsmen, the only time you will see their wealth is in their vacation pictures.
3. They are probably used to their affluence because a lot of this people became rich like 10- 25 years ago and the urge to show off has become boring
4. Some are humble, private or low-key or rather prevent to flaunt their hobbies than their riches. I think Mark Zuckerberg fits in this category.

who told you they don't show off, mark Zuckerberg bought all the houses and lands sorrounding his company, people were made to sell their lands.
Dangote gifted private jet to one of his family member during his birthday.
Elon musk is now a citizen of mars trying to colonize it with his spaceship.
Let's not even talk of bill gate with his vaccines secret testing in Africa.
Trust me, i have nothing against these billionaires i too want to become one and oppress with my money but
They do show off, just that you don't read news.

They show off, but to their fellow billionaires.

Same way Tony Elumelu did his show off to Otedola.

Because their purpose of being rich is not to show off but to solve problems and they are intelligent to know that pride/show off is for the ignorant.

That is what I am implying, A good number of these world billionaires are in their 50s and 60s, so they might have matured with age and stopped the wealth flaunting they did in their younger years. But for younger naira billionaires like Davido, the urge to flaunt wealth is still in their body

Where u wan see them? The yatch, private jets, cars etc they own is not show off

Dangote Daughters wedding that had bill gates in attendance was not show off?

Otedola birthday on a yacht is not show off?

Zuckerberg became a billionaire in his 20s but remained a simple man till date.

nothing more to show because everything surrounding their lives is opulence

If they show off,it’s still aimed at making more money,unlike the new millionaires who will show off ,wasting their money to intimidate people..
Them full my country naija.. Who get 2m go enter club dey Do dorime .. Some go get 5m ,use am buy car.. Dey find who go give him money to buy fuel there after..

How to know broke people is how they dress. They wear all their life savings at a go.
Wealthy people don't have anyone to impress!

There is a thing called quiet luxury. If you know where to look, you'll see wealth.

Show off and let them raise your taxes

Your Source of Monies Determine How You Behave .... Because People are watching Your Conducts which shall determine whether they will continue to invest in you or not ....

Money from Showbiz is loudest because its money from "Noise" & Fake Life Lifestyles ...

Real Monies from Real Hustles is always Quite because it involves real computations & Mental Burnings... You hardly have time for yourselves because you are always on One Deals to Another ... Where time dey ...

Maintaining the Billionaire Status Requires Much More Hustles Than Achieving The Billionaire Status...

Your Investors are watching Your conducts, Government knows where all the Dirts are Buried, Your Banks are watching how you spend their Monies ..

If you know waka Jeje, You go Jam Agbako

CU's, that's the spirit

We didn't get there for attention.

The media will do it for them... So why the need to show off

Auxtan:

Someone who bought his neigbours' homes just to have a bigger space is not a simple person. The belief that everyone must behave in a particular way is why you people believe there are no billionaires who live extravagant lifestyles. The billionaire behind Oracle Inc is known for buying off islands and hosting private parties, but people in West Africa believe billionaires don't show-off. Their concept of showing off differs from yours, that is all.

@POST: Whether someone show-offs or not, especially for those in the entertainment industry, you should be less bothered provided the source of wealth is legit.

This is true. Billiionaires who made their wealth from hotels and general hospitality industry spend differently from those who made theirs through semiconductors' parts and chemicals. Those ones behave differently from their software technology counterparts. Even crude oil billionaires behave differently from palm oil billionaires.

the same reason rolls Royce don't do tv adverts because the people that buy rolls Royce don't have time to watch tv,billionaires don't have time to impress you,they are too busy

True wealth come with humility
Most real wealthy men are humble cos they know it's a privilege...that money is nothing just papers

General hospitality Must Be Social to Attract Clients Thus Must Be On "Parties" ... Thus Extroverts !

Semiconductor is always Churning his Brain & Spend most times on Engineering, physics Thus Introvert !

Software is always on Coding & Debugging ... He is an Introvert !

Crude oil is always on Free Monies without doing anything so They Misbehaved the Most ... He is an Extrovert!

Palm Oil is a Workaholic as it takes Breaking Local & International Markets to Breakthrough... He is an Ambivert ...!

Extrovert spends Recklessly!
Introvert spends Cautiously!
Ambivert spends Moderately!

The Bottom Line is They all Spend !

You be man wey sabi. Your face show like mtn.

Oppression will always exist among humans. It's an inescapable fact. Nothing taste bitter than being openly oppressed while few things taste better than OPPRESSING OTHERS.

Guys,please try to be well off financially. So that you can oppress rather than being oppressed.
