According to the music star, he once attempted to own a private jet, and he was only able to keep up for six months before selling it off. He said the cost of maintaining the jet was more than the actual jet.
Akon advised that it’s better for a person to buy some hours on a jet and use it only when necessary, such as when negotiating a deal.

On a final note, the Konvict Music boss stated that he often tells people to spend the money they have now like it should last their lifetime because that would instantly change the way they manage funds.
In his words:
“If you want to stay rich, stay stingy. I’m the stingiest guy on the planet. I attempted to own a jet, that ish lasted 6 months, I sold that thing so fast. Buy some hours and use it only when necessary and most of the time use it as a way of negotiation, let that be a part of your strategy to the money but whatever you do, never own a jet. Owning a jet is you spending two, three million dollars a year just for upkeep. You spend more on the maintenance than the actual jet cost. This is the advice I give everybody, the money you have now has to last you a lifetime, when you think about it like that, the way you manage everything will be different.”
