There 42 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 5: you go yearly, twenty five percent yearly. It's it's insane. 43 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:17,919 Speaker 5: Like I remember there was a villa one family member 44 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 5: was rented I think four years ago for one hundred 45 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:21,799 Speaker 5: thousand now it's three hundred and fifty. 46 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 4: How is this system here? As far as there's no mortgages, right, 47 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,080 Speaker 4: there's mortgages. Here's mortgages like America. 48 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:30,399 Speaker 1: There's mortgages. 49 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,800 Speaker 5: But there's also payment terms because if you're buying directually, 50 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,919 Speaker 5: if you're buying off plan, that's good that because now 51 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 5: you have no interest, you can just pay directly with 52 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:42,079 Speaker 5: the with the developer, so they just pay payment terms 53 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 5: until you receive that. 54 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 1: I think. 55 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 5: Otherwise you can pay cash directly with capital. There's multiple ways, 56 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 5: but that's the best thing about it. 57 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 4: So we're from New York, right, so I don't know 58 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 4: if you follow local geopolitical politics, but they got a 59 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 4: new mayor who's been elected. You know that, you know 60 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 4: about that. He's a socialist. The reason and why he 61 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 4: got elected is because the city has become so unaffordable 62 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:07,239 Speaker 4: because the top one percent but is doing extremely well, 63 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 4: but ninety percent of the population barely surviving. So do 64 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 4: you do you worry that a city like Dubai can 65 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:20,080 Speaker 4: reach that level of it's not sustainable after a certain 66 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 4: point when every all the billionaires from all over the 67 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 4: world come in, but people still need to work. Right, 68 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 4: So the workers are at the bottom level, and then 69 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,360 Speaker 4: you have people that's worth one hundred billion dollars at 70 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 4: the top level. That gap is so wide that it 71 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 4: leads to, like you know, a not sustainable living situation. 72 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 5: Dubai is like an onion, and there's so many layers 73 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 5: and sometimes the layers and so yes, we have I 74 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 5: think this year we had almost ninety thousand millionaires moved 75 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 5: ready to Dubai, and I think twenty or seventeen billionaires 76 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 5: move to Bai. 77 00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 1: Already, So that space is already packed. Good, amazing. Now 78 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 1: nobody in the middle and low. 79 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 5: Now I can go right now and have dinner for 80 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 5: four of us and we can spend less than fifty dollars, 81 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 5: or we can have dinner together and spend at least 82 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 5: five hund dollars. So both levels are there. There is 83 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:21,159 Speaker 5: affordable housing here. Definitely need more of that, but it's there, 84 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,359 Speaker 5: it exists. There is ecosystem that basically alway exists together 85 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:24,920 Speaker 5: in that space. 86 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,720 Speaker 1: So there's levels, and again it keeps it. He's the 87 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 1: thing about Dubai. 88 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 5: Dubai will show what you are or are burned out by, 89 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 5: doesn't burn out you. Your true cars came out. If 90 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 5: you're good, you're good. If you're bad, now know how 91 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 5: bad you are. So again, this city keeps you compareditive, 92 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 5: keeps you very strong, be strong. 93 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 6: Thirty four water parks for now, For now, I'm gonna 94 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 6: have I mean, already has the largest water park in 95 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 6: the world. 96 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,480 Speaker 2: Will have it again, and we got to get bigger. 97 00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:57,920 Speaker 2: Ninety one businesses. 98 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,920 Speaker 1: No, now I have nine businesses. 99 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:04,480 Speaker 6: Nine not to want investments, investments, I'm sorry, ninety one investments, 100 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:09,039 Speaker 6: nine businesses. In my head, I'm thinking, how are we 101 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 6: running operations on a day to day? How involved are 102 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 6: you in or do you have CFO cmos? 103 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 2: Is the structure the same. 104 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 5: Different stashes some I'm very involved in daily things because again, 105 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:26,279 Speaker 5: most of my Zoom calls are under twenty minutes. Most 106 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 5: of them calls with my teams intentionally. Yes, why it 107 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 5: doesn't take that long to understand what you want? I 108 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 5: know what I want. Spend to many points pot today 109 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 5: four give me point points. What's happening, what's going on? 110 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 1: What stations? Do you have? These problems? And then I 111 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 1: pick from them quickly. 112 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 5: I wake up early in the morning, I go to 113 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:44,839 Speaker 5: my gym, do my workhouse done, and then I go 114 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:46,600 Speaker 5: to my beach and just go see everything and then 115 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 5: begin make sure everything's done the way we do. Then 116 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:53,359 Speaker 5: let's go first office, second office or zoom calls. I 117 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 5: try to keep things all in the same geographic space 118 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,360 Speaker 5: so I don't have to drive it too much. That's 119 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,120 Speaker 5: what today was a bit technic. But like usually, I 120 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 5: do all the things in the same space. So my businesses, offices, 121 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 5: and my penthouse all in the same space. So I 122 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,360 Speaker 5: have to move too much because again time is a 123 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 5: very big factor here. So my day is always structured, 124 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 5: like in the tea, so there's no bullshit in a 125 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 5: few ten minutes fifteen minutes late in one meeting, I 126 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 5: can't see meeting because I can't because you over somebody else. 127 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,280 Speaker 5: They had like a seven hour shooting, so it was 128 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 5: just hectic. It twice it was before hours became seven hours. 129 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 5: It's okay, everything else had had to be canceled. It's 130 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 5: very structured. It makes sense, ya, But I don't have 131 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 5: days off. I don't understand it is off. Like I 132 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,840 Speaker 5: still now, I do eighty two hundred hours a week. 133 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 4: And still to talk about your branding, because you're obviously 134 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 4: branding yourself because you aquament on your sleeve. Yeah, you 135 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,479 Speaker 4: have a necklace like a rapper. You have a necklace 136 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,599 Speaker 4: on like it's all mine. 137 00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 1: It's about. 138 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:01,799 Speaker 2: Slight difference slight. 139 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,920 Speaker 4: So so talking you're obviously intentional about how you want 140 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 4: the world to see you, the image that you're putting 141 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 4: out there. They you're doing the show with Netflix, so 142 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 4: you're not like a behind the scenes guy. It doesn't 143 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 4: seem like that, right, Talk about talk about that, Talk 144 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 4: about your intentionality with your branding. 145 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 5: You need to be very purposeful and very intentional with 146 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 5: every single thing you do, everything you say or do anything, 147 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 5: because there's three differents when people can when you meet people, 148 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 5: they will see you, they will smell you, or they 149 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 5: will hear you. 150 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 1: You need to look good. 151 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 5: You just smell good, and you know, way you talk 152 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 5: about it's a very important things. I understand the power 153 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 5: of personal bands very very well because again there's it 154 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 5: gets it creates report. People know I've seen you video somewhere, 155 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 5: I relate to what you said about this topic of 156 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 5: that topic. So it takes away that whole fluff of 157 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 5: when you meet somebody, people know I've seen you. I 158 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 5: like you, especially if you if you're authentic and if 159 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 5: you read and you say that our things, people relate 160 00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 5: to it. You know when you're really and when other 161 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 5: people will understand you.
