Israeli media personality and presenter Avri Gilad revealed in a candid interview that he is unable to retire due to poor financial management. Gilad explained that individuals with ADHD often struggle with financial matters, stating, "I don't have a shekel to my name for a rainy day, and if I did have one, I always gave it to someone who needed it." He made these remarks during an interview on Itay Segal's podcast, produced by "All-in."
Gilad shared that he continues to work out of necessity, not choice. "I work today because I need to work, I cannot retire. I'm not living paycheck to paycheck, but I'm not a financial empire like others who followed my path became, simply because I don't know how to manage financially." He clarified that he does not face existential hardship, possessing a home, car, annual international travel, and the ability to provide for his daughters' needs, but he did not leverage his past fame into significant wealth.
This personal financial disclosure follows a recent controversy where Gilad stated during an episode of "The Winning Kitchen" that "man's nature is to conquer, woman's nature is not to conquer." When challenged by Judi Nir Moses, he elaborated, "Women lose their femininity the moment they become leaders. Look at the Knesset, God Almighty."
