Nigerian music executive and Mavin Records boss, Don Jazzy, has shared why, despite his wealth, he doesn’t splurge on luxury items like private jets or exotic cars.

 

 

 

Speaking during an interview with Habby FX, Don Jazzy said he has been financially capable for years to afford any kind of car or even a private jet, but he prefers to focus on more important things — like investments and helping people around him.

 

 

 

 

 

“I’ve been blessed enough for a long time to be able to afford any type of car I want or even buy a private jet,” he said. “But I have more important things to take care of. Nothing beats investment.”

 

 

 

He explained that there are different forms of investment, including self-development, and revealed that he’s currently learning forex trading as part of his personal growth.

 

 

 

“The forex that I’m learning now is an investment in myself,” he said. “Tomorrow, it’s going to turn into something — a skill I can use. Don’t just be useless. Go and acquire some skill.”

 

 

 

The Mavin boss further encouraged young people to embrace skill acquisition rather than chasing only white-collar jobs, especially in today’s digital and AI-driven world.

 

 

 

“You don’t have to be a doctor, lawyer, or engineer,” he said. “In this internet and AI age, a lot of jobs will disappear. Why not learn something tangible? Even carpentry or furniture making — we still import tables and chairs from Turkey and China. If we had skilled people here, we could produce those things ourselves.”
