“I am what God says I am. I was born a winner," is how a Malawian pastor, known as Prophet Shepherd Bushiri, has described himself after the acquisition of his third private jet, reports Malawi's Nyasa Times newspaper.
Mr Bushiri is thought to be the richest man in Malawi and has recently revealed that he plans to open a bank and mobile company in South Africa, the paper adds.
He posted pictures of the new jet on his Facebook page.
The latest jet is reportedly a Gulf Stream III jet, which costs $37m (£25m).
More than half of Malawi's population of 16 million live under the poverty line.
When criticised for spending money that could have been used to help the poor by one follower on Facebook, Prophet Shepherd Bushiri replied:
"When are you going to sell your phone which you have used to type here and give the money to the poor?"
