"Growing up in my younger days till I was 11, I wasn’t really close to my dad because he was all about work. I remember him coming home late everyday building something. I didn’t know what he was doing.

"I didn’t even know we were rich until like 13 because he lived so normally. He was a billionaire driving a Honda. He had a silver Honda Accord, he had a driver, my mum had like a Toyota or so or a Honda truck. They lived so modestly until we moved out of the house to the new house. So we got to the new house and I’m like ‘oh we lit!’.”
