Iman Gadzhi is a 22-year-old high dropout who started a digital marketing agency. Gadzhi made the comments in a 30-second reel that he posted on Instagram.

The self-made billionaire claimed in the video that he was fortunate to make around R360 million a year and has given himself the goal to spend 20% of his earnings. But, according to Gadzhi, achieving that goal in Cape Town is impossible because the city is too cheap.
