“I’m the kind of person who just does what he wants. Maybe my dad was smart in how he raised us, because I don’t put much emphasis on material things,” he explained.
Expanding on this, he added, “Take cars for example — how many do you really need? I honestly don’t get why someone would need 7 or 8 cars. They’re depreciating assets.
“Over the next few years, they’ll only lose value. It feels strange to me, but I guess it’s something different for someone else.”
