He explored these opportunities further as he became more well known. It had been documented that making money was always an interest for him since his school days.

He also created music tapes and sold them in and out of school. When he was in university, he ran club nights and made a profit from those events, too. He lived and worked in Japan, the USA and London (UK). When he was pre-graduating from university, he did internships and other holiday jobs every summer, Easter and Christmas, to gain experience in different fields, and of course, to earn money to pay his way. After coming into the limelight modelling for specific brands, he became the favourite model of his fans.

His life partner left him for another, and after she left, this traumatic experience triggered a change in his life.
