Israeli media personality and presenter Avri Gilad has revealed that he is unable to retire due to poor financial management, attributing this in part to having attention deficit disorder (ADD). Gilad stated in an interview on Itay Segal's podcast that he continues to work out of necessity, not choice. "People with attention deficit disorder manage money poorly," Gilad explained, adding, "I don't have a shekel set aside for a rainy day, and if I did have one set aside, I always gave it to someone who needed it."
Despite his financial situation, Gilad clarified that he does not experience existential hardship. He possesses a home, a car, annual international travel, and can provide for his daughters' needs, but he did not leverage his past fame into significant wealth like some of his peers. "I work today because I need to work, I cannot retire. I'm not living on pennies, but I'm not a financial empire like others who followed my path became, simply because I don't know how to manage money," he said.
This personal disclosure follows a recent controversy where Gilad claimed during an episode of "The Winning Kitchen" that men are naturally inclined to conquer while women are not. When challenged by Judi Nir Moses, he further elaborated that women lose their femininity upon becoming leaders, citing examples from the Knesset.
