Aliko Dangote is worth billions of dollars, but he still drives a 2005 Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon.
Davido revealed it himself on the EarnYourLeisure podcast: "I don't think Dangote has bought a new car in 20 years. He drives a 2005 G-Wagon."
Every time they meet, Dangote tells him the same thing, and has since Davido was a child: "David, save your money."
It's not just the car. Dangote is known for owning just one home — in Lagos. No second house in Abuja, no scattered international real estate most billionaires accumulate.
Another billionaire, Elon Musk, has also been known for living a simple life. In June 2026, Elon Musk briefly became the world's first trillionaire after SpaceX's blockbuster stock market debut pushed his net worth past $1 trillion — before it cooled back down to under $1 trillion just weeks later.
Long before that milestone, Musk had already sold off his mansions and moved into a small prefab house near his Texas rocket facility, reportedly worth around $50,000.
These stories show that being very rich does not always mean buying the most expensive things.
The wealthiest people on earth don't always live like it.

A Missouri prosecutor has been stripped of her authority after the state's attorney general accused her of having inappropriate relationships with multiple people tied to criminal cases she was handling - including an illegal immigrant.
Among the allegations: prosecutors say she helped a migrant facing sex crime charges avoid law enforcement by transferring the title of her car to him and failing to disclose his whereabouts.
The attorney general's office also claims she retaliated against an employee who discovered one of the relationships and created a culture of fear and intimidation inside her office.
A judge has temporarily barred her from acting as prosecutor while the case moves forward. The attorney general's office told Fox News Digital that Johnston "is not allowed to take any actions in any official capacity" and, for now, "is no longer Ray County Prosecuting Attorney."

“I am not surprised that Governor Fubara withdrew. He was not supposed to collect the governorship form because an agreement was reached that the impeachment against him would be dropped, and he won’t do a second term.”

News Flash!
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has emerged as the winner of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential primary election in Yobe state polling 44,841 Votes.
BREAKING: VP Vance outlines the billions of dollars in fraud that has been stolen from the American people that his task force has uncovered over the last two months:
"We referred over $22 billion in fraudulent small business loans back to the Treasury for collection. We deferred more than $1.3 billion in fraudulent Medicaid reimbursements."
"We recovered taxpayer funds from the $135 billion stolen after the floodgates were opened in the immediate aftermath of COVID. We have found $6.3 billion in suspected fraudulent government contracts, which were mostly awarded during the last administration."
I REJECT THE CONCOCTED RESULTS OF THE ADC PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARIES
Following reports of widespread voter disenfranchisement in most parts of the country during the African Democratic Congress (ADC) Presidential Primaries yesterday, I unequivocally reject the concocted results being announced.
I had initially stated that I will only accept the outcome of the Primaries if the process was free, fair, and transparent, and I stand by my word. I will not accept results from a process that does not reflect the values that the ADC had pledged to uphold, to rescue Nigerians from the impunity and gross mismanagement that our country is currently facing in the hands of the ruling party.
There’s no way that about eighty percent of members of the party were not allowed to vote, and you expect me to accept such results. Then what makes us different from the others? The whole idea of the ADC was to give the Nigerian people a platform, to amplify the voices of the downtrodden, and make Nigeria a better place for everyone irrespective of backgrounds, ethnicity, or religion.
A party that criticizes the ruling APC and INEC for vote buying, rigging and writing of results, cannot be engaged in vote buying, writing of results, and other electoral malpractices that leads to the disenfranchisement of voters who are party members. This is not acceptable!
