He is my ex boss. I worked in Indochine as part-time when I studied in Singapore and later working full time job and went back there and enjoy. Thank you Michael Ma and hope more successful.
Nice words. But the fact is he is self serving. here using sg as stepping stone. He will retire in Australia or somewhere else. Gahmen give them pr so easily. 🙄🙄🙄
Keep us posted about the Phuket investment. I bought a condo in Kamala beach in 2019 that was supposed to be ready a few months after and never got finished. The developer (Blue Horizon) ran to Panama with all investors money. Best Western was also involved.
Oh wow, that's so unfortunate :( Yes, such cases happen in Thailand and Indonesia. You should be careful when choosing a developer. As for the guys from Layan Green Park, I'm 100% confident in them! My condo is nearly complete. The grand opening is in just two months.
I feel you. Sorry for your loss. Covid times fucked up a lot of developers companies. And criminals in Thailand are so high that you can always bribe the police to run away with money. (
Thanks for picking brain on amazing people inspiring and another awesome interview love all your interview and we get to learn a lot from all the great people! Keep it up keep going...
Good information and interview Max ! It would have been nice however to zoom in on his father’s beginnings ie: what kind of shop? Service ? Product did his father start off with his successful business in Australia ? Otherwise very nice job.
Bro you deserve everything you’ve got. Hands down the best TH-cam channel in Singapore, I’ve learnt so much from your channel. You’re truly an inspiration and genius. Love you bro. Keep putting out fire content
I was so sold on Bali until the plastic on the beaches came up. 😅 Now I'm considering Phuket as a retirement place.🤔 This guy is great..been to some of his indochine places.😅
Yes, agree. I’d love to see a more in-depth and longer interview with Michael, there is so much to learn from him, his business sense, his attitude to life….. his father and grandfather were also successful business people and gave good advice.
Max Chernov I love that story too interview an Australian businessman in Singapore. Can you make one video of interview with Ghib Ojisan. He is a famous youtuber influencer in Singapore too
hi max i not only got perspective from expats but also wisdom from people that had incredible stories. would love to hear stories from super successful locals that has interesting stories as well!!
The Spotify seed round offer - Michael shouldn't beat himself up about missing that. $1m seed is a lot of cash if it represents a significant portion of your portfolio and as he said "it's a bit much". He's a smart man to not take that offer because in an alternate universe, Spotify could have gone to zero. I'd once more push back on his idea of putting capital into property. As an asset class, it's not as liquid as owning equity in businesses via the stock market. He could run a simple rate of return calculation on his property portfolio via the S&P 500. I'm curious to see if his properties returned more than just investing in the market.
You learn everyday something new, like shophouse in Singapore has a 999 year lease.Gosh, I used to be a used car dealer and learn to solve one car at a time lol . Invest in something tangible that generate income.
Went there by ferry 21 years ago, had a pie, but that ferry ride, it was rocking wildly side to side. I was thinking, so this is how boats get capsized…
Basically, Singaporeans are destined to be employees, work to retirement and sip kopi o in a coffeeshop. Get out to chase your dreams, Singaporeans, if you have one and want one.
I hv a friend who has the same mentality. He doesn’t splurge on branded items, he saved to splurge on cement. 😂 I wished I had known him 10 yrs before I know him. 😅
@@MaxChernov unless the law has been recently changed I respectfully submit you are incorrect. Foreigners can't own freehold houses, bungalows, land etc. I know some use company structures etc, but this is a very grey zone, fraught with difficulty. I enjoy your channel btw. Keep up with the great videos.
Also be careful the realtors in phuket will try to show you propertys on west coast because they get kick backs from projects, east is alittle farther from ther offices and dont like showing east coast no kick backs??
200k USD for a 1 bedder over at Phuket is absurd even with the assume ROI. Aside from being a tourist spot there is not much concrete infrastructure development for the island. Just because this guy you interview is well off doesn't means he is always right with his investments. Tourists are especially fickle minded, no one knows for sure if Phuket will always remain a hot spot.
You can find them in business or work setting, many of them do not socialise much unless it’s for business. But first you need to have certain qualities beforehand
Sometimes external forces/events turn your peaceful life and plans upside down. For example how many families were ruined when Japan invaded Singapore in 1942.
I got to disagree on certain aspects this guy mentioned. KL is having air pollution in the same category like JAKARTA & BKK? I juz couldn’t help from ROFL! 😜🤪😛
He failed to reveal his family owns a Asian supermarket chain in Australia and throughout South East Asia when he arrived in Singapore. I read the Straits times and that is what was written . He is just being modest and humble.
It’s a tip for people who wanna invest but can’t think of where to invest. So why not Phuket? It’s top of mind location for literally millions and millions of quality western and Asian tourists, so it ain’t a bad place at all
So many questions to ask I am sure for someone like Max who wants to get ahead living in sg. Michael isn't like 'old money' in Singapore that's almost impossible to emulate.

Wait when did you quit your job? like what year?
@@NIKKIII-t3k I worked in Indochine forbidden city clark quay 2006 to 2010.
I feel him. Hanging around with brilliant people is the best thing ever
No need for flashy fast cars to flex his wealth. He's rich from within, his attitude, perspective, humility.
What an awesome interview! I could listen to this guy for hours.
Best interview so far and I like this guy.
Ok that guy is a f'n legend! Excellent brand he has created. I'd also love to meet him to learn more. Just chill and learn from his experiences!
Wow!! Love this interview. Michael is a successful and fascinating guy. Love listening to him talk.
“I had no home. Australia offered me. Forever, I’ll be Australian. I’ll never give up my Australian passport” RESPECT!
Now that is dedication and loyalty. I’m sure Sg passport is better for him as a businessman based in Sg anyway
crosbyong, I love Australia and Singapore. They give us good life and happiness.

this certainly one of the most enjoyable interview to listen to !
A very genuine person (Michael) speak from his heart
I’m offended by your brackets 😂
This guy is so much exposure and knowledgeable. I have learnt so much things from him in this interview video

Great Interview Max. Loved it and quite an aspiring one. Thanks.
Best one yet 👌
Top Notch Interview, thanks for sharing this!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Insightful conversation with Michael Ma?
WOW VERY INSIGHTFUL CONVERSATION 👏 👌
We need more TH-camrs to mention him he’s a legend!
Amazing Interview.
This was extremely captivating! Lots to learn from Michael.
I really enjoyed this interview. Thank you
Absolutely correct about Bali which I was there in 2009 for the first time. I was shocked the next day after a rain storm.
LOVE IT! please make a longer and deeper interview with him. interesting life story n perspective
Yes, agree. I’d love to see a more in-depth and longer interview with Michael, there is so much to learn from him, his business sense, his attitude to life….. his father and grandfather were also successful business people and gave good advice.
The British found out that a 99 year lease was not as good as forever when they had to hand Hong Kong back to China.
He should write a book on wealth creation. Thanks for interviewing him.
Kiyosaki already done it for him ✅.
No really, he is so close in look and feel to young kiyosaki.

I can see the excitement in your Phuket investment, Max, congrats, it seems like a wise decision😄
INCREDIBLE INTERVIEW.
He used to be a big deal in the late 90s, early 2000s.. his spots were really popular
Such an interesting interview , full of nuggets of wisdom
Great advice
Great interview.
End credit is hilarious, magic trick 😂
Great interview!
best episode so far. tq max

I didn’t spot any branded stuff on him. This isn’t common in SG actually 😂
interesting experience. .
What an interesting guy to listen to. "don't ruin your brand" but then he allegedly avoided a roadblock because he was possibly drink driving.
Very inspiring! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I am lucky too. My father fled China to Malaysia when he was 11 yrs old and alone. He fled Malaysia during ww2 to spore with his wife my mom. 😅
When I have money…I buy properties!
Impressive.
How do you buy a property as a foreigner in Phuket? Is it straight forward or you have to do all kinds of stuff like in Bali?
For a foreigner, you can choose leasehold for 90 years or freahold. Pretty straightforward. Not like Bali
You pay a heap of under the table cash to the then chief of Phuket immigration and acquire Thai nationality and the passport. That's how he did it.
nice vid n interview
Love the channel, but foreigners can't buy freehold landed property in Thailand. Ownership of chicken cage apartments are allowed. Good luck with it
They can :) leasehold 90 or freehold

take it with pinch of salt.
Malaysia does not seem to ever be a good place to invest as a foreigner. I might be wrong but most people choose other countries In South east Asia
Depends on when he visited, the Indonesian haze did get really bad in some years but improved a lot under Jokowi
He failed to reveal his family owns a Asian supermarket chain in Australia and throughout South East Asia when he arrived in Singapore.
I read the Straits times and that is what was written .
He is just being modest and humble.
Wow good info, didn’t know that. He just said his dad was a rich guy.
Yes, the emperor really has no clothes
Lol he was a trader with ADM. And a businessman father. He was never poor to begin with
200k usd for a 1 bedroom condo? That's crazy! I mean expensive........
The price doesn't really matter. What matters is the return on investment and future valuation.
