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. The Russian tycoon insists that he has tried his absolute hardest to spend over R500k, but it's impossible.
