Why I’m stingy – Singer Akon

Senegalese-American singer, Akon has revealed that he is “the stingiest man on the planet”; because one has to be stingy to maintain his wealthy status.

The ‘Blame It On Me’ crooner disclosed this while featuring as a guest in the latest episode of Impulsive Podcast.

According to Akon: “If you want to stay rich, stay stingy. I’m the stingiest man on the planet.”;

He also advised colleagues and fans against owning a private jet if they want 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.”;
