    Alot of Young minded spending as far as clothes and jewelry in the first year , but I probably would have done the same at his age especially in the time of social media now. And as far as taking all of your people with you, that's a definite no. Help everybody that you're able to help when it's time but most of all make sure that you and your immediate family are situated first.

    • @nathanlee1765
      @nathanlee1765 Před 2 lety +7

      I mean I get what you're saying especially with the jewelry, but I can also 100% sympathize with him that he probably does need to spend quite a bit more money given his status in order to get shirts. He's 7 feet tall, most companies if you order online aren't gonna fit him, he can't exactly go to a mall to shop unless he wants to take a whole bunch of time because he is gonna be bombarded in public. I feel like it makes sense to potentially pay a stylist who will shop for you. Also he literally did say he took care of his immediate family and he was situated. 200k was the first thing he spent on. Plus I imagine he probably spent more than that, but I doubt the video is going to be interesting if he just said "my first 1 million was all on investments, video done"
