(Dan Tri) - A beggar in India revealed that he currently has total assets of up to 75 million Rupees (more than 22 billion VND) and affirmed that even with an unimaginable job, he can still bring significant wealth.

In a recent interview with Indian media, Mr. Bharat Jain revealed that he has been a beggar for over 40 years. Thanks to working hard every day from 10 to 12 hours without a day off, this man's total assets now amount to 75 million Rupees (more than 22 billion VND).

Mr. Jain said that he earns an average of 70,000 Rupees (21 million VND) per month and owns valuable real estate in Mumbai city. The story of this man is attracting the attention of the Indian public.

Begging hard for more than 40 years

On the crowded streets of Mumbai, at some of the busiest spots like Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT) and Azad Maidan, Mr. Jain is always seen punctually.

He calls himself " the world's richest beggar" and has long known how to turn the profession into a lucrative one.

Mr. Jain's journey to become a beggar was forced by circumstances, his family faced financial difficulties. With no money to pursue his studies, he decided to beg.

For decades, he relied on begging as his main source of income. Collecting a few thousand rupees a day depending on the generosity of passersby, Mr. Jain hardly allowed himself any rest.

He works 10 to 12 hours a day regardless of holidays or Tet. Thanks to this job and his quick business acumen, he has a relatively luxurious life compared to most people in the same profession.

Invest wisely

Mr. Jain revealed that his total assets of more than 22 billion VND were not only from begging, but also from profits from outside businesses. With the money he saved, he bought 2 apartments in Mumbai worth 14 million Rupees (4.2 billion VND). This is where he lives with his father, brother, wife and 2 sons.

In addition, he also owns two shops in Thane city, which bring in monthly rent. These investments help him build a stable financial foundation for his family and secure his future life.

As Jain continued to pursue his beggarly career, the family benefited from a stable financial source. He sent his two sons to school. Both now support the family business, a large stationery store, to supplement their income.

Now that his finances are stable, family members have repeatedly advised Mr. Jain to quit his job, but he firmly disagrees.

"I like begging and don't want to give up the job," he said.

His approach to the profession is considered quite unique. He asserts that he is not greedy, only knowing how to take things for himself and forgetting about the community.

In an exclusive interview with the Economic Times, the 54-year-old beggar said he regularly donates money to local temples and charities.

According to Indian media, Mr. Jain's story is not an isolated case in this country. The begging industry in India is huge.

Other famous beggars, such as Sambhaji Kale and Laxmi Das, have amassed vast fortunes. These examples reflect a thriving underground economy in India, where begging can be a profitable business if navigated properly.

Although begging is illegal in India, it is still a common practice in the country despite the government taking steps to stop it.

Measures such as arrests and fines have been largely ineffective. Some even operate as organized begging rings and take advantage of individuals.
