Daniel McKorley, the Executive Chairman of the McDan Group and a well-known Ghanaian businessman, has disclosed that he put off getting married because he was afraid of having financial responsibilities.
Mr. McKorley, also known as McDan, spoke at the 2025 PCH Hangouts at the ICGC The New Wine Temple in East Legon on his hardships and how financial constraints influenced his decisions in life.
“I couldn’t marry early because I was afraid of chop money,” he stated. “I grew up in an atmosphere where it was common to witness a guy physically assault a woman due to chop money, as well as a woman verbally abuse a man for the same reason. Therefore, I found the institution of marriage to be frightening.”
Revealing that Dorothy, his ex-girlfriend, left him because he was unable to find enough time for her.
“I couldn’t find enough time, so she left me in the book. I always arrived at work first and left last. Every time I came to visit, I would be asleep, and we would be talking,” he remembered.
He also discussed a pivotal point in his career, describing how his desire for achievement and growing responsibility drove him to put in even more effort.
“I was driving a Fiat Ritmo when I earned my first million dollars. The automobile I drove would run short of fuel every two kilometers, even if I had a million dollars in my account. I didn’t see that I had enough, though,” he added.
