Senegalese-American singer, songwriter, rapper and record producer, Akon has shared dark secrets from his past, detailing how he successfully became a millionaire by not investing in his girlfriend.
The musician is reported to have said that, his firm decision not to give more than 2% of his first earnings from music saved him a lot.
In a statement published on Facebook by Mark the Blogger, Akon is alleged to have said that ‘When I [Akon] made my first million dollars from music, I was so excited that I spent it quickly. The first thing I bought was a studio, so if all else failed, I could always write and produce records for other artists.
I spent about $250,000 on that studio equipment. Then I gave my mom $150,000, my dad $150,000, and I gave all my brothers about $25,000 to start businesses.
When my girlfriend at the time found out, she asked me for $200,000. I just laughed and gave her $5,000 because I can never give a woman more than 2% of my total money. She broke up with me then, but I wasn’t upset because I realized she only wanted Money, not me.
The truth is, if you want to stay rich as a man, you have to be very stingy with these ladies’.
