Meet the world's richest beggar: A ₹7.5 crore net worth

Bharat Jain has been begging on Mumbai streets for 40 years and now has a net worth of ₹7.5 crore.
Seen often at CST and Azad Maidan, he pulls in ₹2,000-₹2,500 daily—about ₹60K a month—which is more than many office jobs pay.

TL;DR

Flats and shops worth crores

Jain didn't just save his earnings; he invested smartly.
He owns two Mumbai flats worth ₹1.4 crore and two commercial shops in Thane that together bring in ₹30K each month as rent, giving him steady income beyond begging.

Why continue begging?

Jain sends his sons to top convent schools and the family runs a stationery shop managed by his kids.
Even with all this financial security, Jain chooses to keep begging alongside managing business and property—a decision that surprises many.
