A TikTok content creator in Cape Town approached a millionaire accountant who shared more about his wealth. Instead of sounding boastful, the man was the complete opposite, which struck a chord with many online community members.

On 21 September, 2025, Black Savage, whose content on his account is interviewing people about their wealth, spoke to a man who shared that the most money he made in a month was R200 000.

Black Savage asked the wealthy man how it all started, receiving the following reply:

"Hard work, very important. You need to be dedicated and grind daily until you die. If you see all the wealthy people in the world, they grind all the time."

After sharing that Allah is powerful and gives people what they ask for, the accountant, who stood next to his R1.5 million BMW M2, revealed that the most expensive item he bought was his roughly R6 million McLaren.

When asked to give one secret to his success and provide advice, the Cape Town local, whose aim was to buy property in cash every year, said:

"Have faith in Allah. Look at what your passion is, work on that, and be creative. Today, you see people in different fields, but they are broke. Look at what your passion is, and follow your heart."
