When you heard of beggars, you thought of the poorest of the poor and the downtrodden, right?

You are wrong!!

Meet the world richest beggar.

Bharat Jain, who was born into poverty and couldn't get a formal education, turned to begging as a source of livelihood.

He spends about 10 to 12 hours begging each day, at a Terminus railway station and at a sports ground in Mumbai, India.

He is married with two sons, and living with his family, including his brother and father.

From begging, Jain trained his children in convent school, owns a luxurious two bedroom flat with two shops worth over 80 million Naira. The shop rents for $530 per month—Over 5 million Naira in a year.

Jain and his family live in a 1 BHK duplex apartment in Parel that he separately built.

His children are through with education, and are going well for themselves, and other family members operate a stationery store.

Despite the plea and advice from his family to stop begging, Jain continues his begging business.

He makes $44 daily and $1320 every month, his network is $1.3 million.
