Renowned business magnate Prince Kofi Amoabeng recently shared revealing details about his unique lifestyle, bragging that he had worn the same watch and shoe for more than 20 years.
In an exclusive Starr Chat conversation, Amoabeng revealed the fascinating backstory behind his timeless style choices with well-known radio host Bola Ray.
The former UT Bank CEO stunned listeners as he recounted his commitment to a single watch and shoe until a recent turn of events.
Amoabeng, now the brand ambassador for Caveman, explained how this new role prompted him to finally make a change in his long-standing accessories.
“I have been wearing the same watch and shoe for 20 years, but now I am the brand ambassador for Caveman, so I have changed it,” Amoabeng disclosed during the interview.
Delving into his financial journey, Amoabeng revealed a surprising decision he made during challenging times.
Struggling with the perception of success and wealth, he shared, “When things got tough, I sold my 8-bedroom house, which I felt I built by mistake. I had the money, so I felt I needed these things. When I was selling it, my friends were saying, ‘But Kofi, people will say you are broke,’ and I said exactly, I am broke.”
During the insightful conversation, Amoabeng also shed light on the complexities of wealth, expressing the challenges of identifying genuine friendships amid financial success. “When you have money, a lot of people gravitate towards you. It’s hard to tell who your real friends are, and that’s confusing,” he remarked, providing a unique perspective on the nuances of navigating prosperity and relationships.
Prince Kofi Amoabeng is a Ghanaian businessman and a former military officer of the Ghana Armed Forces.
He was a co-founder of UT Bank which collapsed in 2017 during Ghana’s banking crisis amid allegations that he had misappropriated funds from the bank.
