In an audio on social media, Despite spoke calmly and said people are at liberty to say what they want about his source of wealth.
Osei Kwame Depsite intimated that he has several businesses, including a 700-acre salt production venture which employs over 600 workers and exports to several African countries.
He wondered why many are amazed by his wealth and why they question his use of money on luxury cars despite putting in the work.
"Let everyone say what they want to say. I've given it all to God. Sometimes I hear things about me and get amazed. I work hard. I have about 700 acres of land for salt mining alone, among other businesses. I employ over 600 people. So why should people be surprised if I make money? Go and see the number of trucks loading the salt to other African countries. So why should I not spend my money on cars and other things?"
