When I got my power contract, my dad said... He looked me in my eye in the kitchen and said, do you believe you are a star? I said yeah, he said prove it to me, I don't want you to spend $1 of your power contract, however how long this contract is. I don't want you spend $1 out of it. I want you to make money in your endorsements, your music and everything else, but you may make some millions in this but do not touch this. I want to see, can you do that? I said yeah.

The first purchase I did with my money was buy myself a house.
