My wealth attracted a lot of men but I was too picky – Linda Ikeji on why she’s single

Billionaire blogger, Linda Ikeji has watered down the idea that when a woman is successful and rich, men tend to run away from her, saying her experience is quite the opposite.

Linda Ikeji who, for days now, has been in Ghana for Ghana Bloggers Summit was speaking with Starr Drive when she was asked why she is still single.

Linda who was asked if men were scared to approach her because of her success revealed that successful men, whom she referred to as ‘strong men’ have come her way but she was just too picky.

She said;

“To be honest, people have this misconception that when you are successful and rich, men avoid you. That’s not my experience. A lot of men come after you when you are successful and rich.”

“strongmen come for you. For me I was too picky. I like successful people too, I want somebody that can inspire me. So those kind of successful men, I’m attracted to. So my experience has been a lot of men come after you for different reasons. Some are sincere, some just want your money, some want to use you to crown chase, some see you as an asset, some see you as a bank, and some truly truly like you. That’s been my experience.”

And on her  ideal man, she indicated that in addition to her likeness for successful men she also likes men who are very calm and very kind.

Ikeji, who have been described as Africa’s most successful blogger with a net worth of around $40 million. amongst other things further advised young girls to be descent as they fight for their dreams..

“What I’ve always preached is, you can make money on your own. You don’t have to sleep with men for money,” she added.
