During the conversation, Khaled explained why he doesn’t “believe in” accountants or money mangers.

“I don’t believe in no accountant, I don’t believe in — what’s the thing called — money managers,” Khaled explained. “All that — that’s your business.”

The 47-year-old continued by explainining that he pays for expenses himself.

“I pay the grass [landscapers], car wash man, the guy that’s cutting my hair, the electric bill, the car note, the mortgage,” Khaled continued.

The producer even explained that he has a “rule” that even if he authorizes his banker to process a charge through email or text, his banker also needs to acquire verbal — or even physical — consent from the mogul.

“Cause there’s AI out there,” Khaled joked. “[But] I don’t make nothing up, this is the truth.”
