Renowned musician and politician Banky W recently shared his perspective on why money isn’t the key to happiness, recounting an encounter he had with a sad billionaire.
In a recent interview, the singer and father of one discussed the relationship between money and happiness. He emphasized that within each person exists a void that can only be filled by God. Attempting to fill that space with money, women, alcohol, or other pursuits will never lead to true satisfaction.
Banky W maintained that while money is necessary for a comfortable life, it doesn’t guarantee happiness. He rhetorically questioned why many billionaires end their lives if money truly brings happiness.
He further shared a personal experience, revealing that he once sat across from a billionaire (measured in foreign currency, not naira) who eventually took his own life.
