He claims to live by several important ideals, including frugality. Additionally, he doesn’t own a private plane, in contrast to many of his contemporaries.
On the IMPAULSIVE podcast, Akon remarked, “Listen, you want to be rich? be stingy. I’m the stingiest muthaf***a on the planet. Anyone of my stature would not take a commercial flight. These guys spend their days flying on aircraft. I made an effort to buy a jet. It was like that for six months.
I quickly sold it muthaf***a. You are ignorant of maintenance charges. I swear to you.
Continued, pointing out that the annual costs for a jet due to upkeep were just not worth it, and offered an alternate strategy.
In the long term, he said, a different approach might be more cost-effective. “Buy some hours and use it only when necessary,” he added. And almost always use it as a negotiating tactic.
But whatever you do, don’t own a plane. Bro, owning a jet requires spending at least $2-3 million a year simply on upkeep. You spend more on the maintenance than the real cost of the jet.
