Make way everyone..... Mukesh ambani is officially the richest man in the world with a net worth of 68 billion dollars... surpassing Carlos slim by a decent margin.
But tell me..... Mr.Ambani... How rich are you?
Not a day goes by without some news in the papers about you and your brother fighting for remnants of your father's empire.
It's true that you earned every penny that you flaunt about in ostentatious gifts. I'm speaking about that custom airbus airplane you gifted your wife lately.
But what legacy would you want to leave behind?
Can you ever scratch the back of Warren Buffet "the sage of omaha"?
Can you be humble and live a life of frugality ever?
I mean... can you even think of giving away half your wealth for charity?
Can you afford to step down and live for bigger causes like bill gates did?
Yeah... you may have made your mark in larger economic history sir... but how about giving back a little back in dividends to those needy shareholders of that larger entity called india that made your compensation possible. It's all about keeping your shareholders happy... isn't it? If nothing, it would create new consumers that you can make more wealth on.
Maybe it's a philosphical issue. Should wealth be flaunted? or should it be put to work in effective ways to do good to sections of society that are left behind.
Ayn rand might be puzzled by this question... she never spoke of flaunting.
