  • I ran to class even though I had $40 million in my account while doing my MBA – McDan

    I ran to class even though I had $40 million in my account while doing my MBA – McDan

    Ghanaian business mogul Daniel McKorley, popularly known as McDan, has shared how he gave his all to secure his academic success despite early career success and substantial wealth.

    During his Master of Business Administration (MBA) studies, McDan revealed facing setbacks despite having over $40 million in his account.

    He recalled the contrast between his financial achievements, including making his first million dollars at 28, and his academic performance.

    “I made my first million dollars at the age of 28 and lost it all at the age of 32. And I remember when I was doing my MBA and… doing my MBA, one of the most difficult parts in life.

    “You would run to the class and a professor would look at me and give me D and Fs meanwhile I had 40 million dollars sitting in my account. Can you imagine, can you do that? That is very difficult but we call that discipline,” he stated.

    Despite his financial success, McDan emphasized the importance of pushing oneself to achieve academic milestones.

    “It is not because of money but you have to get somewhere. You know I always say that when you are young work hard. You reach a certain stage of your life, you work smart. You get to a certain stage your money has to work for you.

    “So, when you are at a point and you are still working for money then you have a problem, your money has to work for you,” McDan added.
