“I do not even know the meaning of being broke,” she stated. Pressed further on her definition of wealth, Badmus explained that being rich entails having everything one desires within reach.
“To have all the things that you want at your beck and call. When you are comfortable and able to buy whatever you want and also, most importantly, impact on other people’s lives,” she added.
