Veteran Nigerian music producer and Mavin Records boss, Don Jazzy, has revealed why he chooses not to buy a private jet despite being wealthy enough to afford one.
In a recent chat with Habby FX, the music mogul explained that he prioritizes investment and financial responsibility over luxury spending. According to him, he’s blessed enough to afford any car or even a jet, but he prefers to channel his money into more meaningful ventures.
“I have been blessed enough for a long time to be able to afford any type of car or to buy a private jet. But I’ve got more important things to take care of because nothing beats investment,” he said.
Don Jazzy further urged young people to learn valuable skills and adapt to the realities of the internet and artificial intelligence era, emphasizing that traditional career paths are no longer the only route to success.
“You don’t have to be an engineer, doctor, or lawyer in this internet and AI age because a lot of jobs will disappear soon,” he advised. “Why not learn something tangible like carpentry or furniture making? We still import chairs and tables from China and Turkey, but we could produce those things ourselves if we had skilled people here.”
The Mavin boss also disclosed that he is currently learning forex trading, describing it as an investment in himself that could yield returns in the future.
“The forex that I am currently learning is also an investment in myself. It’s going to turn into a skill I can use tomorrow. Don’t just be useless — go and acquire some skill,” he added.
Don Jazzy’s remarks have drawn admiration online, with many applauding his humility and commitment to promoting financial intelligence and youth empowerment over flashy displays of wealth.
