Nigerian-British heavyweight boxing champion Anthony Joshua has shared candid advice on achieving billionaire status, asserting that fame from sports, music, or entertainment alone cannot pave the way to such extraordinary wealth.
During a reflective moment on his Snapchat, Joshua emphasized the importance of focusing on sustainable business practices rather than being consumed by the glamour of celebrity life.
To become a billionaire, it won’t be through sports, music, or entertainment. Don’t get lost in the hype; focus on sustainability, books, and business ethics,” Joshua wrote.
The two-time world heavyweight champion, who recently spent the festive season in Nigeria, highlighted the need for entertainers and athletes to channel their fame into entrepreneurial ventures.
Globally, only a select few, such as Jay-Z, Rihanna, Michael Jordan, and LeBron James, have reached billionaire status. According to Forbes, much of their wealth comes not just from their primary careers but also from lucrative endorsements, investments, and successful business endeavors.
Joshua’s remarks have ignited discussions online, with many echoing his sentiment that building lasting wealth requires diversifying beyond the spotlight. As he continues to inspire with his achievements in the ring, the boxer’s perspective has resonated with a broader audience, reinforcing the idea that long-term success demands a balance of talent and financial acumen.
