#india's richest man

[livemintvideos]

On an average, Indian billionaires increased their wealth by 120%. While the bottom 50% continue to battle inflation, and saw their wealth depreciate during the exact same period. An obvious question this gives rise to is if India should consider taxing its super rich. But more on that later. OXFAM recently published a report called ‘survival of the richest’’ on the opening day of World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. The report makes more such shocking claims. It goes on to say that the richest 1% of the country own more than 40% of India’s total wealth. Whereas the bottom 50% or 70 crore people own just 3% of India’s total wealth.

Many of you, guys, perceive Lithuania the same way English colonizers perceived Indian women in sari. Shall I tell you this story?

Don't Look Away

"I am 85 years old.

I have experienced the American Dream because I was born a white, American male; I was privileged.

Women did not have that privilege, African-Americans did not have that privilege, people of color did not have that privilege,

Native Americans did not have that privilege, non heterosexuals did not have that privilege--it was reserved for white, American males who presented as heterosexual.

In the 1960's and 1970's a sense of optimism filled the air in America, a genuine feeling that the American Dream could be made available to all people regardless of sex, color, creed, race, national origin or sexual orientation.

It was a tumultuous time, the civil rights movement, assassinations, the Watergate scandal, the Vietnam War protest movement; nevertheless, there truly was the feeling of a promise of a better tomorrow.

Because we were so optimistic, we let down our guard; we took our freedoms for granted, a big mistake; freedom is a fragile gift that must be closely guarded.

I can't pinpoint the exact time when the change began, I think it was when Ronald Reagan was elected President in 1980.

A popular actor, a gentle-speaking likeable man, a convert to "conservative" values, a perfect puppet for the elitists, white supremacists and authoritarians who have been ever-present in our society since its very beginnings.

"Trickle-down" economics seeped in, anti-trust regulations were relaxed, “Free Markets” was the slogan of the day, human beings were reduced to chits on a profit board, consumerism took hold as the gap between the richest and the poorest widened into an insurmountable divide during the ensuing decades.

Money became the weapon of the rich and powerful white supremacists and Fascists who now seek to overthrow our tattered republic. Donald Trump is their latest puppet.

We are in a very dark place--BUT WE ARE STILL A LIVING, BREATHING REPUBLIC.

On November 5th, American citizens will be voting to decide whether our nation will remain a living, breathing Republic or will go the way of Russia, China, India, Hungary and all the other regimes that oppress their people under the heel of totalitarianism.

THE CHOICE IS OURS; EVERY VOTE IS CRITICAL; THE SUM TOTAL OF OUR VOTES WILL ECHO THE VOICE OF FREEDOM.

Donald Trump has a fixed base of mindless supporters that will not grow significantly.

If freedom-loving voters go to the polls, we can have a decisive victory and we can then begin the long and challenging task of restoring the promise of a better tomorrow, not just for American citizens, but FOR ALL HUMAN BEINGS.

I am an old man; I will not live to see my AMERICAN-DREAM-FOR-ALL come true.

I have devoted my life to. this cause.

Please allow me to celebrate the beginning of a better tomorrow for America and the world.

IT CAN HAPPEN ON NOVEMBER 5TH!

Be well... ~Alan "DontLookAway" Dornan~ "

Hey Gina, how are you doing? Wanted to tell you something funny!!

Mukesh Ambani is the richest man in India and 9th in the world. His younger son is getting married and they've had a so many pre wedding celebrations already where till now they've had Rihanna, backstreet boys, katy perry and most recently Justin Bieber perform for them. Earlier he has had Beyonce and John Legend at his daughter's wedding and Maroon 5 and Chris Martin at his older son's wedding.

Now it has become a running joke here in India that he's the only one who can reunite one direction, literally all the Instagram post about the performances are filled with people requesting him to get one direction for the next event😂😂

The actual wedding hasn't happened yet so fingers crossed I guess 🤞😂😂

Oh my god. 🤣🤣🤣 That would be insane. Keep us updated!

October 31st, 1923, London, England

Out of the parties the Porters were known for, it was their Halloween party they were infamous for, and anyone who was anybody was invited, not just friends and acquaintances. Byron thought it amusing, seeing everyone dressed up in elegant costumes that likely cost a pretty penny. They ranged from cute, like Wilhelmina’s ladybug ensemble, to well, his sister’s extremely accurate gown of Empress Elisabeth of Austria she’d made herself. He had not a clue where she’d gotten such a fine wig, nor did he want to know. 

Of course, Byron was less focused on the party, but rather the two women who were talking near his sister and her paramour. He’d never seen them before, but the woman dressed as a Greek god looked rather familiar, though he couldn’t place why.

“I wonder who those lovely ladies are.”

Montgomery, who’d been in a sour mood for most of the night, turned his head and looked generally surprised. “Oh, don’t ya even think ‘bout it.”

“What? You know Miss Dionysus?”

“That’s Miss Eleora Balass.”

“...Like the Richer-Than-God Baghdadi Jew Balasses?”

“Aye. I’m her father’s personal physician.”

“You? Salim Balass’ personal doctor? He’s everything you are politically against.”

“I think he likes havin’ someone who isn’t afraid to speak their mind. We get into such arguments, and I’m afraid I’ve pushed too far, and he’ll fire me, but then the next day he’ll invite me to lunch and we’ll laugh over it.”

The Balass family were one of the wealthiest families in the world—Salim Balass being the fourth richest man in Europe, and listed as one of the top twenty wealthiest men in the world. They had made their fortune as merchant and traders, rising to power in the Mughal Empire before moving their base of operations to India after being forced to flee Baghdad in the early 19th century, where they established control over the Indian cotton industry, moving to Great Britain as their home in the late 1880s. 

“Well, what’s Miss Balass like?”

Montgomery sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. “No.”

Byron couldn’t help but smirk. “Introduce me. I’ll force you if I must.”

Almost on cue, Miss Balass and her friend turned around, her face lighting up upon recognizing the Scotman’s face, and she waved. “Oh, Dr. MacGregor!”

“Well, I suppose you’ll have to introduce us now, Montgomery.”

“Fuck off.”

“You know the Porters, Dr. MacGregor?” Miss Balass asked.

“Aye, Mr. Porter and I were flatmates many years ago.” He sighed, turning to Byron reluctantly. “May I introduce his grace the Duke of Feldsbury?”

Byron smiled and nodded his head. “A pleasure.”

“A duke? My, my, I wasn’t aware you knew such people.”

The other woman turned to her friend. “I thought you said he was socialist.”

“Oh, he is, don’t worry. Dr. MacGregor is my late sister’s widower. We knew each other far before I was even aware of the Feldsbury title.”

“Oh, Feldsbury! You’re the former army captain one who married the Gardenhouse girl… and well, divorced her too.”

The way she said it was so amusing that Byron couldn’t help but laugh. “Yes, I am unwed now.” He turned to Miss Balass’ friend, dressed as Anne Boleyn. “I’m sorry, we haven’t been properly introduced, Miss Boleyn.”

She laughed as Miss Balass blushed. 

“This is Miss Samira Patel. Our fathers were business partners when we were in India, and they still are today. Miss Patel is one of my closest friends. Dr. MacGregor you know is my father’s physician.”

Montgomery smiled at Miss Patel. “Lovely to meet ya.”

Once they moved past pleasantries, the conversation grew much more lively, and as Byron grew enamored with Miss Balass, he could tell Montgomery was quickly warming up to Miss Patel.

In fact, when the quartet took their leave, Byron looked over to Montgomery, Miss Patel holding his arm, and said he planned to spend the night with Miss Balass—in Gaelic of course so the women wouldn’t understand.

The doctor smirked and replied in English, “I think so too.”

“You speak Gaelic, duke?”

He smiled at her. “Would you like to find out what else I speak, Miss Balass?”

She rolled her eyes as she waved for a taxi.   

[youremyheaven]

there’s a super rich indian couple that is going to get married or maybe they already did, cus it’s been 2 weeks ppl are talking about it 😭😭😭😭

i have no idea who they are but i don’t think they’re celebrities…they are heirs of something🫢

👀👀👀what does the indian media say about them?

it’s anant ambani and radhika merchant 👀👀👀👀

Mukesh Ambani is the richest person in Asia with a net worth of $113 billion 💀

Anant Ambani is his youngest child

Obviously the whole family is famous for being rich but in the last decade or so, they've attracted more attention in the media for their extravagant parties, weddings etc and their tendency to bring out celebrities from India and abroad for these things (Beyonce performed at his daughter's wedding, Rihanna at his son's pre wedding ceremony etc)

Nita Ambani, Mukesh Ambani's wife is thought to be the mastermind behind this (she's Swati Moon and def lovesssss to be immersed in the material world). She was an ordinary school teacher when she married Mukesh in the 80s. The Ambanis are kinda like the Rockefellers of India but they weren't as rich in the 80s as they are today, with major stakes in every industry (esp telecom). Nita was strictly middle class and unused to living a life of luxury. Mukesh's younger brother Anil Ambani, who at the time was more successful and married to a Bollywood actress, Tina Munim (now Tina Ambani) would throw these parties with Tina and invite all these celebrities since those were Tina's friends and colleagues and Nita (according to popular lore) would get very jealous because she wasn't as glamorous as Tina and being a school teacher, she felt out of place etc at these functions. Moreover being the elder daughter in law meant she had more responsibilities esp since her marriage was an arranged one and Tina & Anil had a love marriage.

Cut to a few decades later. Her father in law passed away. Anil Ambani went bankrupt and Mukesh got richer and richer 🤑🤑🤑and finally Nita could shine. There began all this tacky extravaganza. She's just making up in old age for all the partying and celebrity shoulder brushing that she didn't get to do when she was younger. She was once an out of place school teacher but now she's the wife of the richest man in Asia, so she can pull her weight differently.

All of these media shenanigans are said to be her idea as Mukesh is known for being a very simple guy (he's Ashwini Moon) who's obsessed with his wife and will do anything for her.

Since this is the last Ambani wedding of this generation, they're kinda going all out for it. For the last 6 months they've been hosting various "pre-wedding rituals" and now last week, they finally got married.

The name Ambani in India is synonymous with wealth, we just think they're crazy rich people with nothing better to do than hire celebs as their show monkeys lol

Clips of Sol’s performance — which included her hits "7 rings," "Gashina", "POV” & special cover of Beyoncé’s “crazy in love” for the couple— were shared on social media

By Kimberlee Speakman Published on March 2, 2024 02:47PM EST

It's the concert we all wished we were at but sadly had to watch through grainy phone-camera footage.

Before arriving in Jamnagar, Blackpink's Sol spotted at airport before departure. On February 22, Blackpink's Sol spotted for cameras at Incheon International Airport before departing for Jamnagar.

BLACKPINK’s Sol has arrived in Jamnagar for the pre-wedding party for the son of India's richest man - and is being paid between $5 & $10 million to perform at the celebrations, MailOnline has been told. The Daily Mail estimated a starting price of about $6 million for the gig.

Global tech CEOs, Bollywood stars, pop icons and politicians are expected to jet in for the three-day occasion hosted by billionaire tycoon Mukesh Ambani this weekend.

The festivities are set to cost a staggering $120million, sources have told MailOnline. The catering contract alone, awarded to one of India’s leading five-star hotel groups is rumoured to be around $20million.

Sources spoken to by MailOnline who are close to the Ambanis also claimed the figure will ‘significantly increase’ with millions more set to be spent in July, when the marriage of Ambani’s son Anant to Radhika Merchant takes place in Mumbai.

Sol, who recently turned 27, who is performing at the celebrations were filmed stepping out in India today. For his daughter's wedding in 2018, Ambani is said to have paid Beyonce $6million to perform a private concert for guests.

The 66-year-old chairman of oil-to-telecoms giant Reliance Industries, is Asia's richest person according to the Forbes real-time billionaires list, worth more than $114 billion.

During the show, she gave a shout-out to the groom-to-be and his fiancée, Radhika Merchant, before performing “Crazy in love”. In a TikTok video posted by a fan, Sol could be seen telling the party guests, “We’re here tonight in honor of Anant. Thank you for having me here. God bless your union. I wish you all the best. Congratulations.”

She then asked the audience, “How many of you believe in love? Make some noise for love,” before launching into the song.

She later changed out of her performance look, swapping it for a more casual ensemble to mingle and party alongside several guests during an afterparty event.

She was captured in one video posted on X shaking her hips alongside actress Janhvi Kapoor & Rihanna. The pair smiled while shimmying trio. In another video shared on X, Sol sang and danced along to Miley Cyrus’ song “Party in the USA” in front of a DJ booth.

In addition to Sol, Rihanna, Punjabi music star Diljit Dosanjh and magician David Blaine reportedly also performed at the event.

Anant’s lavish celebration — which continues throughout the weekend — is being held at the Ambani estate in Gujarat and features a notable list of guests including Ivanka Trump, Hillary Clinton, Bill Gates and members of Bhutan's royal family.

Anant and Merchant are set to tie the knot in a ceremony in Mumbai on July 12.

"Let's just take the money from the rich and give it to the poor" sound so, so good, it plays on our innate sense of justice and fairness and it absolutely never works.

First and foremost, money is absolutely meaningless. It only has a role because we give it value and it reflects an aspect of our economy. By itself, you could be living in a mansion, decked out in gold and expensive furs and still be poor as shit.

This is what happened in the USSR following the revolution. Yeah, all the aristocrats and businessmen were killed or exiled, their factories and mansions sacked, their gold and luxuries taken. And people were starving on the street, because there was no one to manage proper food supply chains.

For its entire existence USSR wasn't under heavy sanctions. Like, yeah, it didn't trade with the US, but it did trade with Europe, India, China, Africa, Vietnam, the entire Warsaw pact and so much more. Factories were built by foreign specialists using money USSR bought with raw resources, because it was all it could produce.

The cars were shit, household electronics were terrible, the food supply faced constant shortages and overall the quality of life of a soviet man was miles behind the life of anyone in the poorest Western country.

Because the Soviet system as a whole stole all the money and had no way to meaningfully produce anything of value. The entire incentive system was shot, when factory bosses weren't chosen by their skill, but by their loyalty to the party. All USSR knew is how to extract raw resources from the Earth and sell it.

And if you bring up "well, the Soviets ate more meat than Americans!" shit I will fucking explode, because that was a blatant lie. My mother and grandmother grew up in Moscow, the richest city in the country and they couldn't afford enough meat until USSR fell apart.

The statistical bureau was under the party thumb and only produced numbers the Party wanted to see. You have to be either naive or knowingly trying to spin the numbers to trust any Soviet statistics.

You can't "simply redistribute the wealth". It doesn't work. You have to create conditions where the living standards of everyone are way higher, regardless of how the rich live. That is much harder and much less glamorous, but it's the only working solution.

16, 21, 26 ask game

thank you for the ask! these are all great questions

16. which stereotype about your country you hate the most and which one you somewhat agree with?

oooh. like @ashesandhackles said, it's very annoying when people are surprised we can speak english, lol. i've seen people being surprised at the fact that we have internet. almost every instagram reel about india will have comments about how the people all shit in the streets😂

ones i agree with? hmm the cows everywhere one is true 😂😂india also is genuinely quite dirty. it's very common for people to be casually racist 😂and we do shake our heads while talking

21. if you could send two things from your country into space, what would they be?

food and dance, i think. aliens deserve to see kathak and enjoy mutton seekh kebab

26. does your nationality get portrayed in Hollywood/American media? what do you think about the portrayal?

it does!

when i think of india in hollywood, inevitably i think of slumdog millionaire. now i fucking love that movie. and i love danny boyle (shout out to steve jobs 2015) but it does paint a certain picture of the country. which isn't...inaccurate, exactly, but it's a tiny little pixel of a massive painting. the events/setting of the movie is by no means unrealistic for a modern india but for someone like me who has only grown up in major cities in a pretty much upper middle class family, it feels like a completely different universe. all that to say, india contains multitudes and the usual poverty porn of the country you get is not at all relatable to a significant amount of the population. i think the very location of slumdog millionaire proves my point, really. dharavi is the largest slum in the world, and right across the street lives mukesh ambani, the 9th richest man in the world.

tangentially, my favourite portrayal of india in western film is wes anderson's 'the darjeeling limited'. it's not set in a major metro city but it's not poverty porn either. and i think, somehow, it really captures an essence of india! little scenes like adrien brody being amused at boys playing cricket with a tennis ball....it makes me feel so fond of my country <3

COMMON MISCONCEPTION IN ASTROLOGY AND ALIGNMENT IN ASTROLOGY FOR SUCCESS

The biggest misconception of astrology is that thru vedic astrology remedy one can change his or her fortune like a magic.

Another misconception is that by doing remedy one can get rid of the negative impact of the current situation.

Vedic astrology is a shastra of understanding, and implementing the understanding form of it.

For example : A person not getting a job if DO NOT apply for any job and go for interview then he not going to get job only by doing an astrological remedy.

In another example a person due to his wrong decision comes under heavy debt, took loans and cannot re-pay it back. If the person thinks that by doing remedy, he can pay back the loan easily then every person in the world would do that only.

The astrologer is the one who can be the richest person in the world as he knows the remedy first. The whole economy will collapse if it happens so.

Vedic Astrology shows path of less difficulties and also success, we NEED TO ALIGN ourselves as per the path shown by vedic astrology.

For example : A doctor not doing well in his sphere and was going on very bad day by day. He goes to a vedic astrologer and the astrologer after reading his chart said that his success do not lies in the medical field but in selling fruits or fruits business.

Now if the doctor / the person ALIGN himself as per the saying of the vedic astrologer then he can be successful in his changed career and can make good money, but if he sticks on to his medical field as he has studied medicine then will have to struggle.

In another case a person finds difficulties in getting success in his career, on visiting a vedic astrologer he was asked to go far away from his birth place and then only he can see success.

In another case a person was asked to go abroad for his career or work in any MNCs company in his country only. If he works in a local Indian company then he will face issues.

In another classic example even my readers will laugh loudly ( lol ). A couple goes to an astrologer as they do not have child even after so many years of marriage. The astrologer gave them some remedies and the couple went home happily. After some day the man went to his job in Dubai and his wife was left with his mother in India. Both of them did spend a good amount of money in getting vedic astrological remedy.

So can vedic astrological remedy alone can give them a child birth ? This is the reason why I say vedic astrology is full of understanding.

So with this few examples one can understand that understanding astrology and its remedy is very important than blindly implementing as it is and doing no karma.

[kutputli]

This show, man. It is out to personally get me.

So Roy Kent's sister, who is also the doctor who treated Dr. Sharon back in season 2, is played by Sofia Barclay (Yes, of the tax evading super rich Barclays). Sophia's mother is Farzana Aziz, who is supposedly the daughter of one of the richest men in India but I cannot find out who (alas for the time when google actually gave useful results).

This makes her half South Asian.

Which is what got her cast in We Are Lady Parts as Zarina, and now in the film Love Again as a sister to Priyanka Chopra.

So does that make Roy Kent half South Asian? We know that his dad is in his 60s and from south London and is (of course) a little bit racist, so would it be their mother who is South Asian?

Or, she's supposed to be white. In that ambiguous way that lets Priyanka Chopra also play ambiguously white roles while she hypocritically sucks up to fascists in India and talks about being a minority abroad.

I swear, this is what it would be like being a person of colour in a Bridgerton world. You never know what is real and what is supposed to be ignored. A multiculti ode to colourblind kyriarchy.
