Begging turns out to be a very lucrative job for a man in her Mumbai of India. Local media reports that Mr beggar Bharat Jain, who works the streets of the technological and financial metropolis, has a whopping $890,708.
He is believed to return home with about 2,500 rupees daily, which is equivalent to $30 a day or $904 a month. And he literally takes them home, because he owns a luxurious two-bedroom apartment, according to the New York Post.
He also rents out two stores, which earn him an additional $363 a month.
This man has been declared “the richest beggar in the world” by local media.
Bharat turned to begging since he grew up in poverty and has no formal education. But now he has the means to send his children to a convent school.
He spends about 10 to 12 hours every day begging, usually around the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus railway station and the Azad Maidan sports ground, which are considered prime begging locations.
His family runs a stationery shop and has pleaded with him to stop begging. Despite this, he insists on continuing his “profession”.
