Bharat Jain is known as the richest By Sumaila Zaman Edited by Sumaila Zaman Advertisement The term 'beggar' typically evokes notions of hardship and extreme struggle to survive. But Bharat Jain, a man from Mumbai, has turned that definition on its head. Bharat Jain is known as the richest beggar in India, and possibly in the world, according the The Economic Times, he has created an unexpected fortune. He possesses property worth crores, he earns more money than many of India's well-educated professionals, his story is a shocking example of how things are not always what they appear. Bharat Jain battled extreme poverty, which restricted him from gaining a formal education. But he did not let those obstacles prevent him from having a future. With grit, he established not only a life for himself but a life of greater fortunes for his family. He got married and raised two sons, who both became educated. Now, he is estimated to have a net worth of ₹7.5 crore, with earnings sometimes exceeding ₹60,000 to ₹75,000 per month—which is often greater than what other professionals earn in most parts of India.

While most people would be astonished to see a wealthy person beg for money, Bharat Jain is often seen begging in high-traffic and busy locations, like Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus and Azad Maidan in Mumbai. Bharat Jain lives in the Parel neighborhood, and his children have studied in a convent school. And he is also in the stationery business with his family, supplementing his household income. Bharat Jain is an outstanding example of resilience and determination. He migrated from a financially impoverished situation, to becoming wealthy and putting his family in a better place for meeting life's challenges. His life challenges our perspectives by demonstrating that perseverance will yield the possibility of greater opportunities- possibly for wealth. Advertisement ===

Haveli Worth Rs 100000000000, private zoo with 18000 pigeons, once a ruler of Awadh, still burdened in debt due to…, he was… The last Nawab of Awadh, Wajid Ali Shah, is remembered today as a person of incredible riches and extravagance. By Sumaila Zaman Edited by Sumaila Zaman Advertisement Haveli Worth Rs 100000000000, private zoo with 18000 pigeons, once a ruler of Awadh, still burdened in debt due to..., he was... Some individuals are incredibly wealthy — grand living spaces, extravagance, and anything money can buy. But life is uncertain. Fortunes may fade quickly, empires may collapse, and those who have thrived on wealth may suddenly find themselves dealing with unforeseen loss. Wealth is never guaranteed, as history shows us at times; it can dissipate as rapidly as it came about. One such person was Wajid Ali Shah, the last nawab of Awadh. The last Nawab of Awadh, Wajid Ali Shah, is remembered today as a person of incredible riches and extravagance. In today's terms, the value of his assets would be thousands of crores of rupees. He was royal from 1847 to 1856, a mere nine years. However, his contributions remain today in the very identity of Lucknow, beyond mere buildings and art. His contributions extended well past legacy architecture and preservation of art and culture; he had a thriving economy based on agriculture, trade, and had something extraordinary from the last master of taxes. While there are no official records on the exact amount of wealth, there are historians and old documents suggesting that even back then the amounts were staggering, and once calculated for today's values, the amounts would be mind-boggling. Advertisement === The Qaiserbagh Palace complex was one of Wajid Ali Shah's most amazing projects, and he commissioned it between 1848 and 1850. The construction cost approximately 8 million rupees in 1850 — the equivalent of nearly Rs 10,000 crore in today's terms — most likely the costliest royal estate of its time and only one of many luxurious palaces constructed during his reign. Wajid Ali Shah's court was no different. His court was one of excess, extravagance, with hundreds of wives, dozens of courtiers, a plethora of court artists, musicians, and bands which included a stack of servants and guards, among others — all of which represented lifestyles never seen before and perhaps never replicated since. The Nawab had not only a love for architecture and poetry but also a genuine love for everything beautiful. He had a unique private zoo which had monkeys, bears, and almost 18,000 pigeons. His gardens were also unique and were a really big space for theatre dramas, dance recitals, and poetry functions – this showed his great love of art, culture, and, as suc,h a great patron of the arts. When Awadh was annexed by the British in 1856, Nawab Wajid Ali Shah was unceremoniously exiled to the Metiabruz area of Kolkata. It was an exile, but it did not mean he was reduced to a poverty-stricken life, not immediately at least. He received an annual pension from the British government of Rs 12 lakh, which was a huge sum at the time, to have him live as royally as possible.

An 1874 report from The New York Times states that over 7,000 people were living in his Kolkata residence — including many dancers, bodyguards, pets, and housekeeping staff. In order to maintain his former regality, Nawab Wajid Ali Shah, of Awadh, had rented several additional bungalows, indicating that he still had considerable wealth, even though he had lost his kingdom. But, his grandiosity was not to last. Over time, much of his property was seized by the British. The colonial government eventually saddled him with what would amount to nearly Rs 200 crore in present-day terms. Though he continued to receive a pension, his financial situation was increasingly worsened by both the imposing debt and a sharp decline in revenue received from Awadh. He lost a considerable amount of land, palaces, and treasures to the British. According to the media reports, historians suggest the total value of the land, gold, items of value, artwork, and cultural heritage seized by the East India Company and King Akbar could total over Rs 2 lakh crore in the present day. Years later, Wajid Ali Shah's heir, Begum Vilayat Mahal, sought reparations from the government, arguing that the government illegally seized ancestral land. The claims, however, were caught up in legal complications and were never fully resolved. While he lost his kingdom, Wajid Ali Shah is still remembered as an important and exceptional person. His extensive patronage of the arts resulted in a modern Kathak dance form, and took Hindustani classical music to a greater possible level. While he may have lost his kingdom, he has not lost his beauty, his poetry, or his cultural impact; they all remain a part of Lucknow's historical baggage and have helped define the city.
