Speaking on The Black Table with Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, Oreagba challenged society's obsession with material wealth, insisting that good health and life are worth far more than money.
Reflecting on his past, he revealed that despite becoming a dollar millionaire at a young age, his fortunes later changed drastically.
"I was a dollar millionaire at 30. At 35, I was working as a labourer in England," he said.
Oreagba explained that after losing his job as a banker, he took on manual labour and other odd jobs to sustain the luxurious lifestyle he had built.
"I'd lost my job as a banker, and to maintain that lifestyle, I was hustling, doing all kinds of things, but nobody saw it. The Porsches were still outside. I had my priorities wrong," he admitted.
He also dismissed the perception that fame changed his lifestyle, noting that the viral Ojude Oba photo only brought him into the spotlight.
"I'm going to be 60 next month, and my lifestyle has not changed. All that has happened is a viral photo brought me to everybody's attention," he said.
Oreagba further urged people to rethink their relationship with money, explaining that health is life's greatest asset.
"You may have 99 problems, but the minute you have a health problem, you only have one problem," he said, adding that wealth means little if a person is not alive to enjoy it.
