Akon also cautioned fellow music stars and celebrities about the expenses associated with private jet ownership, emphasizing that they entail substantial upkeep costs.
He shared his own experience, stating,
I tried owning a jet, but it only lasted six months; I offloaded it quickly. Instead, consider purchasing hours and utilize it sparingly, mainly as a negotiating tool.
Let it be a strategic asset to your financial planning, but under no circumstances should you own a jet.”
According to Akon, owning a jet translates to shelling out two to three million dollars annually solely for maintenance, surpassing the initial purchase price.
His sage advice extends to everyone: the wealth you possess now must sustain you for a lifetime.
This perspective, he suggests, should influence how you manage your resources.
