The week of The Anthill has closed with the visit of an international face, Steve Aoki. The famous DJ has come to the set of Pablo Motos’ program to talk about his new album and the tour that will occupy him in the coming months, as he has more than 250 concerts planned that will take him around the world, including several Spanish destinations.
So that he can integrate even more with the national public, the Antena 3 presenter wanted to give him a hand and told him about the famous song Paquito the chocolatier, a classic at any party that he suggested could include: “it’s a song that plays at every party, festival…”. Without giving a resounding yes, the American’s response was to smile with some confusion, especially when seeing the enthusiasm of the public.
Without closing in, what Aoki did do was confirm that some of the best places he has worked in are Spanish. “I think that some of the best rooms are here in Spain. I’m not joking. “I have some Spanish fans who when I perform are jumping, dancing, singing…” she confirmed.
Speaking of more personal topics, Steven told the presenter about some of his tastes, among which is collecting. In fact, he revealed what the most valuable object he has is and the price he paid for it, leaving the presenter and audience speechless. Is about a card from the popular video game and anime Pokemon.
“I spent 1.4 million. It’s in a safe. After buying it at auction, I took it to an expert and sat there waiting to find out if it was real. It was not the highest level. The highest cost 5.2 million,” she confessed.
This hobby started during the pandemic, when many people discovered new hobbies. Steve Aoki’s were collectible and he was so involved that he made a great fortune. According to what he confessed to Motos this Thursday, he came to win 12 million dollars selling and buying NFTs, that is, digital tokens. All of this has made his house like “a collectible toy store,” in his own words.

But life, and the economic outlook, has not always smiled on the musician. Taking advantage of his visit, he wanted the public to get to know him a little better and he remembered its rather humble origins. In fact, when he started working as a DJ his first concerts were in his student apartment, which was no more than 40 square meters. “I believe that anything is possible if you put your mind to it. When he was in college I started a record label for $400. You have to be creative,” he encouraged those who have a dream like the dream.
But he, in addition to focusing on music, also continued studying and neuroscience is also among his passions. That’s why he wanted to highlight the “importance of keeping the mind as well as the body.” In that sense, he was very excited about the technological advances of recent times, especially those related to aging. “I think it is very possible to stop aging. We simply have to live until that is achieved and I believe it is close.”
