“There Are Only About 3,000 Billionaires In The World”- Nigerian Man Excited As He Runs Into One Of The Billionaires On The Street Of London
Nigerian man named Toyyib Adewale Adelodun has shared his amazing encounter with a prominent figure named Mo Ibrahim, the Sudanese-British telecom billionaire after running into him at the streets of London.
In his words:
“There are only about 3,000 billionaires in the world.
One of them asked me a simple question that quietly changed how I understand money.
He walked past me one afternoon in London.
I couldn’t believe my eyes.
“Dr. Mo!” I shouted.
He turned, smiled, and we spoke briefly.
When I told him I was working on a hotel refurbishment nearby, he asked:
“Do you own the hotel?”
We both laughed.
I moved on.
But that joke wouldn’t leave me alone.
Some months later, I became very intentional about money. I had to unlearn a lot of what I thought I knew.
I went deep. I even studied and wrote CFA Level 1.
And the lesson became clear:
Income is not wealth.
Equity is.
Wealth is owning a piece of something that earns, even while you sleep.
That is what investors, pension funds, private equity, and institutions understand deeply.
As we end the year, ask yourself honestly:
What do I own?
What is appreciating while I’m scrolling Instagram?
And what do I plan to own next?
I bought some Meta shares when they were trading at $99.
Today, they are around $650.
Warren Buffett said it best:
If you don’t find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die.
I shared a simple YouTube video breaking down equity investing for beginners if you are ready.
This new year:
We are learning.
We are building.
We are winning together. 🙏
What part of your money mindset are you currently unlearning?”
