A resurfaced video of Nigerian cryptocurrency billionaire Linus Williams, popularly known as Blord, has sparked intense discussions online. The clip, recorded in 2025, shows the young entrepreneur explaining his constant accompaniment by armed security guards and revealing his net worth.
Blord Opens Up About Security and Wealth
In the video, Blord recounts a past kidnapping attempt that narrowly failed, which prompted him to prioritize his safety. He emphasizes that while such an incident occurred only once, it left him cautious. The businessman states, "It's a bit dangerous out here. I almost got kidnapped, which I escaped."
Blord further declares his net worth to be around $300 million, accumulated over approximately eight years through cryptocurrency investments, particularly Bitcoin. He notes that he made his first billion at age 25 and is now 27 years old.
Community Role and Fear of Death
The billionaire explains that his security presence is not only for personal protection but also due to his contributions to the community and state. He claims, "I do a lot for the community. I do a lot for the state. I’m a very important person for the state, so they have to protect me at all costs." Despite the guards, Blord admits he fears death, stating, "I cannot have this kind of money and not be scared to die, you know? I'm young."
Mixed Reactions Online
The resurfaced interview has drawn skepticism from netizens. Some question the timeline of his wealth accumulation, pointing out inconsistencies in his claims. Others doubt his net worth, noting his absence from Forbes lists. Comments include:
- @Ericmike871221: "You claim to be worth over 400 billion naira... you made your first millions at 25, and now you are 27? How's that possible?"
- @samuelpntekob: "He doesn’t have any net worth; he is just claiming. He is not listed in any Forbes article."
- @SammySteve_: "This guy lies too much... aside from that, let him get out."
- @Zhondi3: "He is trying to control the narrative; these are all paid interviews."
