In a video on X, Dr Michael Obeng said he made his first million dollars when he was 34 years old. At the time he was being interviewed, he was 52 years old and said he was a millionaire.
He lives in Beverly Hills and works as a plastic surgeon. He disclosed that the most money he made in a year was $9 million and the worst financial decision he made was marrying the wrong person.
When asked to advise younger entrepreneurs on marriage, Dr Michael Obeng said:
“It’s not the right person if you guys don’t share the same faith. Period.”
He said he believes God orchestrated everything happening to him now.
“Without God, I wouldn’t be here. How can a kid from Ghana, from the slums of Ghana and beyond my wildest dreams, make it to Beverly Hills to be one of the best plastic surgeon’s in the world. It’s God.”
“He talks about Genesis 1:26, 'Go ahead, take dominion over the land. God wants us all to prosper.' Even in Jeremiah 29:11, He says, 'I have plans for you to prosper.' God is the ultimate giver of wealth. Everything is in the Bible,” he added.

The doctor said he has several billionaire friends and hopes to attain the same status one day. He said he is diversifying his wealth so his money can grow. Dr Obeng added that he is building a pharmaceutical plant in Ghana. The renowned award-winning doctor's plant is estimated to cost $11 million.
“I have a lot of billionaire friends, and my goal is to be a billionaire. So, I can do more work. I’m in the process of launching a pharmaceutical plant in Ghana. It’s going to be the biggest plant in sub-Saharan Africa and that’s the key to becoming a billionaire.”

“Some of my friends still see themselves as a victim of a so-called whiteman religion. This man here through faith in the same religion has created wealth. Do you still think religion is the cause of our woes as Africans? No, I think it’s our mindset and laziness.”
