There is a definitive image in everybody's mind of people who beg to make ends meet. But ocassionally we hear about individuals who have turn begging into a profitable and lucrative profession by levelling up the activity that mostly evokes pity.
One such big example is Bharat Jain who is the richest beggar in the world and can be seen begging in the streets of Mumbai. Bharat who could not be formally educated due to his depravation, has a family tht includes his wife, two sons, a brother and his father.
He has a net worth of 7.5 crores and unlinke him his children are not deprived of education as they have got a chance to complete their schooling. He possesses a two bedroom flat in Mumbai worth Rs 1.2 crore and also lets out his two shops in Thane for a rent of Rs 30,000 per month.
Bharat manages to make Rs 2000-2500 per day within 10-12 hrs, due to the generosity of people. As Bharat Jain comfortably resides in a 1BHK duplex resident in Parel, their kids go to a convent school, and other family owns a stationary store, he is been continually advised not to beg. But he is still seen begging on the streets of Mumbai.
