Nigerian music mogul and Mavin Records boss, Don Jazzy, has opened up about why he chooses not to splurge on luxury items like private jets or exotic cars, despite being financially capable of doing so.
In an interview with Habby FX, Don Jazzy revealed that his focus is on investments and helping others, rather than flashy displays of wealth.
“I’ve been blessed enough for a long time to be able to afford any type of car I want or even buy a private jet,” he said. “But I have more important things to take care of. Nothing beats investment.”
He highlighted that investment isn’t just financial—it also includes self-development. Don Jazzy shared that he’s currently learning forex trading as part of his personal growth, describing it as an investment in himself:
“The forex that I’m learning now is an investment in myself. Tomorrow, it’s going to turn into something — a skill I can use. Don’t just be useless. Go and acquire some skill.”
The music executive also encouraged young people to prioritize skill acquisition over chasing traditional white-collar jobs, especially in the age of the internet and AI:
“You don’t have to be a doctor, lawyer, or engineer. In this internet and AI age, a lot of jobs will disappear. Why not learn something tangible? Even carpentry or furniture making — we still import tables and chairs from Turkey and China. If we had skilled people here, we could produce those things ourselves.”
Don Jazzy’s advice underscores the importance of practical skills, self-investment, and using wealth wisely rather than flaunting it.
