Nigerian music executive and Mavin Records boss, Don Jazzy, has revealed that although he has been financially capable of buying a private jet or any luxury car for years, he chooses not to because he has more meaningful priorities.
Speaking in an interview with Habby FX, the award-winning producer said he prefers to focus on investments and supporting people around him rather than spending on flashy items.
“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,” Don Jazzy said. “But I have more important things to take care of. Nothing beats investment.”
The Mavin CEO added that his idea of investment goes beyond business and includes personal growth and skill acquisition. He revealed that he is currently learning forex trading as part of his commitment to self-development.
“The forex that I’m learning now is an investment in myself,” he explained. “Tomorrow, it’s going to turn into something, a skill I can use. Don’t just be useless. Go and acquire some skill.”
Don Jazzy also used the opportunity to advise young Nigerians to embrace skills and digital learning rather than relying solely on white-collar 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.”
With his remarks, Don Jazzy emphasized the importance of financial discipline, personal development, and skill acquisition as the true signs of wealth in today’s world.
