The popular rich man gave an example where he made a huge amount and lost it all because of his attitude.

McDan stated that he made over a million dollars from selling maize, but later lost it all.

"When I was young, I had to travel to Enchi, Dormaa and all those places to buy maize, store the maize in a village in Nsawam during bumper harvest. During the lean season, I will go and sell the maize at Agbogbloshie and make so much money. My friends mocked me and said, 'While we are in ties sitting in offices, you're roaming the market selling maize.' I made over a million dollars just selling maize. I lost everything by the age of 32, and I had to sell my car and pick a trotro to work."
