According to Lucky Mensah, many entertainers failed to prepare for the future and relied solely on fleeting fame and temporary gigs..
For him, the secret to his current comfort is his deliberate choice to invest his earnings at the height of his career into long-term projects.
He disclosed that he now lives a very decent life, thanks to his investments in multiple businesses. Among these are a hotel, a residential apartment complex for rent, and a thriving transport business. He also runs a bakery and owns an events center, along with the Lucky Mensah Live Band and a recording studio that continue to operate.
Not only that, but also the LM Soccer Academy, which is mentoring talented boys aged 10 to 17 across Ghana.
Lucky Mensah added that one of the defining moments of his life, was when he travelled to the United Kingdom for a show and decided to stay for an extra two years to work.
That decision, though tough, proved to be the financial breakthrough he needed. “I worked hard in the UK, saved money, and came back home to begin my building project. That was a turning point,” he shared.
He further mentioned that the contribution and believe of his wife can never be left out of his story.
Lucky Mensah expressed deep gratitude to her for believing in his vision when things were rough. He recalled how she courageously followed him to live in an uncompleted building they had started in an undeveloped area, now known as “Lucky Mensah.”
According to him, if his wife hadn’t supported that decision and sacrificed her comfort, the dream might have never materialized.
