He said, “Even like till date, he is still so humble and modest with the way he spends, the way he goes about his business, the way he handles his business, it is still amazing to me.

“I remember growing up, from my younger days till I was 11, I wasn’t really close to my dad because he was all about work, work, work! I remember him coming home late everyday, building something, I didn’t know what he was doing. I didn’t even know we were rich.

“I didn’t know we were rich till probably when I was 13 because he lived so normal. He was a billionaire driving a Honda. I remember he had a brand new silver Honda Accord, he had a driver. My mum had a Toyota or Honda Truck, so I didn’t know because they lived so modestly until we moved out of the house to the new house.

“When we get to the new house, I’m like ‘ooh we lit!”
