those are not luxury to them, and they have jets because they travel about, they do not buy something they do not need, luxury that is just the side effect of investment, when you look at most of their luxury, just their one month income can cover it all.
Bill gates jet is merely $45m, and his worth is over $80b, that is like 0.00056 of his networth, its the same as someone whose worth is N1m buying N500 stuff and calls it luxury. he wears $10 worth of wrist watch. Zuckerberg, despite bin able to buy Ferrari everyday of the month, the Facebook founder drives a non-ostentatious Volkswagon GTI with
manual transmission, Bill gates wash dishes at home every night, warren buffet drink of choice is coca-cola.Ortega, despite running the world’s largest fast fashion company, wears a uniform of a blue blazer,
white shirt, and gray pants every day. Kamprad is worth $39.3 billion but that doesn’t
mean he spends like it. He still enjoys riding the city
bus to work and around town, and when he flies, he
takes economy class.
Kamprad is the second-richest man in Europe, yet he
still drives a decades-old Volvo when he’s not taking
the bus. When Dangote is on unofficial duty, he normally wears clean cloth which sometimes is not ironed, Mark wears brown polo and sandles everyday. until you understand financial literacy, you will never be rich

I agree with this statement "till you understand financial literacy, you will never be rich"

That's a fact, and understanding financial literacy has helped my own life and finances



However, I still disagree with the notion that rich folks don't indulge in luxury.
They sure do

But wannabes who want to project an image of wealth (like some folks in Nigeria) spending a huge chunk of their income on luxury items, They are doing themselves

davodyguy:
Who told you that it means they're that liquid? It's a combination of fixed, movable and current assets, not only cash in hand or in bank.

If I have 10 cars with each valued at ₦10million
And I ha e only ₦3milion cash in bank.

My total assets would be ₦103 million

true that

IjebuWarrior:
dem okoro nko? Oh I forget say dem no dey the Billionaires club.

What is this one talking about bikonu

CodeTemplar:
Cameroonian immigrant spotted.

that guy you are quoting is right
Dangote joined the oil party VERY LATE
Dangote Cement plus Sugar contributed a huge chunk to his wealth

Yankee101:
Adenuga is one of those guys to call and get angry because they say he is not as rich as he should be. Some people are rich but because they suffered too much while growing up the mentality of poverty never left them. Enter Adenuga.

Buhari happened to Dangote. Everyone wants him gone but don't want to say it openly because they need to protect their business interests.

That's why when Buhari added him to his campaign he protested sharp sharp. No carry your bad luck finish me be association.

interesting

Chizuru01:
Dangote never made money through oil blocks. I respect him for that.

I respect him for that too

make una make money comot for this country

one day we go hear say BUHARI join PDP
ATIKU Join APC (At least this don sup before that year)


Did you Know that the IDIOT below has 4099 post on Nairaland...all was an insult to PDP.
omo the Hustle real

Yea

Make money and leave that useless jungle failed country

With the calibre of people in Nigeria, the country is going nowhere

You deserve better

Your children deserve better.


He who has ears, better hear

Hotfreeze:
Your wishes would fall on your father, your mother, your siblings and your entire family.

1) me and my family would never ever vote a despotic, murderous, nepotistic and incompetent president who has spoilt my country

2) The economic malaise does not affect me or my family in any way,. We are not the typical hungry and suffering Nigerians .... and I'm a part time resident in Nigeria too, so whether Buhari wins or not, it does not change anything for me/us


However, for the majority of Nigerians, their suffering will multiply once this incompetent president wins a second term

Many more will die from hunger fulsni herdsmen, our soldiers will continue to die, the economy will continue to totter etc.

Continue to vote based on ethno religious sentiments

useless country men

israelmao:
Trillions of defections cannot stop Buhari's return to Daura in 29th May,2019.

well i hope so.

But if he wins, I pray he instills more suffering on the useless country men I have.

Maybe when most of them are dead or in serious pains before 2023, Nigerians will probably learn how to vote better

Useless country men

laurel03:
na arrogant... just ask people that work in glo or conoil

very arrogant fellow I tell you

he and that loser Jimoh Ibrahim

helinues:
Trump was also the president from 2006-2009 bah?

it's not abt that

Trump is trying out some dangerous experiments that failed in Reagan's time, and failed again in Bush jnr time.

Supply side economics does NOT WORK.

Caseless:
Global economy never see anything. Shey na "Tlump be plesiden of amelika"? Him go cause more economic wars and confusion tire.

no mind them

recession go bad gan, with all these his stupid experiments

HeyCorleone:
I keep telling people that I'm more afraid of what a black/African would do to me than what a white/European man would do.

Racism is not much of a problem when compared to tribalism, ethicism, and other forms of discrimination against a particular tribe.

The African man doesn't want to see his brother succeed. Even here in Nigeria, tribalism and ethicism is at an all time high. We zone the post of president, and so elect people based on ethnic and cultural ties without asking what they bring to the table.

An Igbo man can't hold certain positions in the south west. A Yoruba man can't access certain things in the North. A Northerner can't own certain things in the East. We discriminate amongst ourselves a lot.

At least when the white man hates you, it's tied on the fact that he hates your skin colour, which he sees as dirty, and also feels you're not as intelligent as he is, which he manages to prove his intellectual prowess in many ways. In Nigeria someone would hate you because he heard your tribe doesn't prostrate to greet their parents.

So it's a shame how Africa is so disunited. What happened in Algeria can pretty much happen in Nigeria and any other African country. We need to rise above such pettiness to grow.

you have spoken well

Mcy56:
Vernacular speaking is prohibited in this class.

ok madam
sorry

dukeprince50:
The reason why E money can never in his entire life be as rich as mark is because the rich do not spend money on luxury, they use money to make more money by buying shares, investing, forex and other, if E-money got N1b, he will buy mansions and cars while mark will invest, after 10yrs marks car will double E-money, so what is the essence of living large trying to impress people?

The rich do not spend on luxury??

Do you know what you are saying

A private jet is luxury, and most billionaires have one.

What of their luxury art collection?

Or their custom made cars ?

Or custom made clothes?

Or the homes they live in

Donald Trump, Larry Ellison, P.Diddy, etc all do luxury /vanity spending and they are still very rich

it's a personality thing

some like luxury, others don't

That's his opinion which he is entitled to.

Chibuking81:
I chooses to remain silent on most questions, because some members here derived pleasure in attacking any post that goes contrary to their view. I hate insult, and don't like insulting people.

This is new year, let us hold on to what that work best for us, if anyone needed to ask me any helping question, let him notify me through my email. Nobody employed me, or pay me for my research work, neither do I share any gain or loss of any member here.
My good friend Onlygentleguy that also present his research findings has stop for some time now, it might be due to insult and lack of appreciation.

I personal felt that it will be of help to people when I started the message of bonanza period. Based on my past experince , my research finding, and use of what that work best for me, which is God help.

Love marriages are a recent phenomenon and they are far less successful than traditional marriages.
A sudden change in feelings is often followed by divorce, then you will begin to wonder where the
love has gone.

Do you think African men are in marriage for what they can't get?.
It is obvious that you are not married.

we were talking about women here and not men.

Besides, love is not a new concept (at least not in the west) but it's probably new in Africa

Queen EliZabeth married whom she loved and they were still together TILL DATE


Mitt Romney married his high school sweetheart and they are still married TILL DATE

Bush Snr married the love of his life and they were married for more than 72 years.

Bill Gates married his love and they are still together TILL DATE.

Obama married his love and they are still married TILL DATE

My father married his love despite some opposition and they are still married TILL DATE

and the examples are so so many.

It's the wrong definition of love you Zoogerians have that is causing all the heart breaks and divorces I hear now happen in that failed $hithole jungle

Traditional marriages were not more successful, they were just prisons.

you really think those traditional marriages in Nigeria in the past would have survived today? (a good number of them?)

Marriage remains a scam in traditional African setting

fasho01:
Small boy but has the effontry to generalize that Nigerians are ingrates? I'll take it easy I agree but please don't defend him cos he's fully aware of all he's saying

he called them ingrates for a reason

They are the same people begging his father for money on social media

ferhyntorlah:
Please Mr Ugo, don't generalise. Just say some.
Thank you.

I did not generalise

I said many, and you know it's the truth

The concept of love is abstract to a traditional African woman

It's what you can offer

The ones who talk about love are the ones exposed to other cultures and all (like you for instance)

Can you pay my bills ---- yes

Can you get me pregnant!---' yes

can you defend my children and be there for them ---- yes

that's all that matters to them (which if you really look at it, it's not a bad thing at all)

sunkieisland:
It's amazing how most people on nairaland think that Jeff has cash of 137billion and the soon to be ex-wife will get 50-60 billion cash.

Guys wake up. Use your mind.

Jeff is worth 137 billion dollars not Jeff has 137 billion dollars in his bank account.


The lady will most likely get some billions and Amazon stock options.

abi o

I'm sure how liquid assets (independent of Amazon) is not up to 25% of his networth

enigmatic741:
I think most of these female Oyinbos regardless of their husband's wealth, require a certain level of commitment in their relationship, Perhaps Bezos effort in becoming the Richest in the world came at the expense of his time and consequently marriage..

you are the one making sense here

These black monkeys here are just talking off point and not facing the issue

America is not Nigeria where most people are money hungry with no scruples

The man is a workaholic and he put his marriage in jeopardy in the process of achieving what he has achieved.

As at the time they got married, was he a billionaire,? NO

25 years is a long time to just throw away IF there is no compelling reason to do so

This matter has been settled already.
They issued a joint statement, no bad blood

Odingo1:
There no love in a white women or so many white women dont love forever, every white woman love a man for a specified period whether the man is rich or poor, they dont think like Africans.

African women don t love their husbands (most of them)

that's the difference.

These African women are in theur marriages for what they can get, and the "status" it gives them in the society

Take these two things away and you will see her true color

lexy2014:
Its very interesting. I salute his foresight. But more interesting is d fact that as an agbero he has d means 2do so. It shows how inverted how our reward system is in this country

yesso

The Nigerian dream is to make enough money by any means, then send your loved ones out of the $hithole failed state called Nigeria.

Agbero, Celebs, politician,sportsman, etc are all doing same.


To tell you something

Slimpotter:
My thoughts exactly, but how do you start a revolution when the youths are more greedier than the elites as the author of this piece stated...I look at the Russian, Chinese, Cuban revolutions and shake my head when I look at my own country. Some sacrifices are not worth it, especially if it's Nigeria. If we had more determined youths like Castro or Sankara it would have been worth it but no, it is Benz they want to drive after which they'll grow old and leave an anarchical society for their kids.

Well that's just the way it is.

Greed at all levels without thinking of the future

Toks2008:
This is why i laugh at those criticizing Buhari..

Look at 99% of those against Buhari right from Atiku,Saraki,Dino.illegit buisness men and many more and you will see one basic similarities in all of them..THEY ARE ALL CORRUPT and are desperate to take Nigeria back to the dark days when our money was squandered.

Was it not same saraki that was wailing in a leaked tape that BUhari is no longer allowing free money to roll in? I pity Nigerians that are still canvassing for PDP.

APC is a party filled with criminals

The difference between the two is that one set never pretended to be saints while the other is pretending to b good whearss they are criminals

Buhari should look himself in the mirror and ask himself whether indeed he deserves a second term after all that has happened under his reign

chris31:
My cousin sis that married a yourba man is enjoying her marriage with kids
Forget all these tribal nonsense u do see on this forum some people do write them out of frustration

exactly so.

So many people are suffering and hopeless in that $hithole failed country called Nigeria

Hence many of them lashing out at people and all these tribal comments

There was a thread sometime back on someone who wanted to share some money

If you see these same fvckers flooding that thread to beg, it was an eye opener that many here are suffering
