He was asked how he could relate to the general people in a Reuters story considering his own riches was larger than the monarch’s. He stated, “I believe that in our nation, we judge people by their character and acts rather than by their bank account. Yes, I’m really fortunate to be where I am right now, but I wasn’t born this way.

He continued, “My parents worked incredibly hard to give me all of these chances. I won’t apologise for what they did to help me. In fact, I want to work in this field because I want to provide everyone else those opportunities.
