A clip from Dr Ofweneke’s “Lessons at 30” interview featuring Kenyan musician and entrepreneur Akothee has gone viral after her response to a question on her net worth shifted attention from finances to health.
In the interview, Dr Ofweneke asked Akothee to state her net worth. Instead of giving a figure, she responded that her real net worth is her health.
The video, shared on TikTok by user @aroooo806, has since circulated widely, drawing reactions from social media users who said the answer stood out from typical celebrity responses about wealth and assets.
Akothee explained during the interview that although she has built income through her music career and business interests, including Akothee Safaris and property investments, financial success is not meaningful without good health. She said wellbeing is the foundation that supports all forms of success.
She also referenced health struggles faced by public figures, including former Cabinet Minister Raphael Tuju, noting that such cases highlight how quickly circumstances can change regardless of financial status.
The comment sparked discussion online, with viewers describing her response as a reminder that health remains more important than material wealth. Others said it offered a different perspective on how success is measured in the entertainment industry, where focus often falls on visible assets and lifestyle.
Dr Ofweneke, known for his direct interview style, paused briefly after her response as the conversation shifted from financial expectations to personal values.
The clip continues to attract engagement online, with users debating the balance between wealth accumulation and wellbeing, and whether financial success can be fully separated from health.
The interview has since added to ongoing conversations about success and priorities, with many viewers noting that true wealth may extend beyond monetary value.
