Why I haven’t bought a private jet — Don Jazzy

Nigerian music executive and Mavin Records founder, Don Jazzy, has revealed that although he has the financial capacity to purchase a private jet or luxury cars, he chooses not to because he prioritises investment and personal growth over extravagance.

The producer made this known during a recent interview with Habby FX, where he disclosed that he has been wealthy enough for years to own any car of his choice,  including a private jet,  but has deliberately avoided such purchases.

“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.”

Don Jazzy explained that his focus is on long-term value, not luxury spending, adding that he currently invests in self-development — including learning forex trading as a new skill.

“The forex that I’m learning now is an investment in myself,” he said. “Tomorrow, it’s going to turn into something — a skill I can use. Don’t just be useless. Go and acquire some skill.”

He also advised young people to embrace skill acquisition, especially in a fast-changing world where artificial intelligence and technology are replacing traditional jobs.

“You don’t have to be a doctor, lawyer, or engineer,” he said. “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.”
