Do you all have a crazy billionaire who has 168 cars?

hi allknowin]g all that money and so manyh poor people in India I do not suppoose he ever thougtht of helping others less fortunate with some of his billions? crazy might be good word for someone who lives like that with neighbors who are very poor. I think its all in very bad taste myself.

And they call it mansion love, oh I guess they'll never know..lol Yes..but tax authorities wouldnt dare to touch him, right? His father on the other hand was a great man even though corrupt to the core. He possibly realized that corruption was rampant in the country and an average man was not in a position to do anything about it. So he borrowed from people and made them rich the way politicians and industrialists become rich. Pity the son is cornering everything for himself and his family.. allknowing ..I am having difficulty in finding something nice to say..I was watching the Realty show about Surat the other day..again the guy was talking about flyover..in another 25 years we will have no petrol..we should be building metrolines..what is wrong with these people

@ Hatley I like sight seeing and this link gave me that experience. Let's look at the better side of life!. Hope you enjoyed visiting this site too! This building must be creating jobs for hundreds. That is what I mean when I say looking at the better side of life.

hi prashu how about if he sold all those cars and used the money to make jobs for jobless peop;le in his coumtry even crazy p eole I suppose could do something good for someone else.

hi Hatley, that sounds good, if he actually does, then many will finding a living . Hi vandana, yahoo , always do this, it focus only on celebrities ,mostly. His wife is from middle class background , she participates in many NGO programs, but the actual story may be different.

I guess the wife only do it to sooth the feeling of envy, anger and whatever else from the country folks. Isn't it a common knowledge that the more you are known to be a billionaire the more you would show that you care for others? Remember the key word here is: a "show"...

Yeah..I agree drivers and maintenance of cars..temporary employment..average car lasts only for 10 or 15 years, isn't it? lol

In contrast I read about a Chinese millionaire spending only about 30 dollars per day..that is very reasonable.

Hello my friend vandana7 Ji, Well, one's hobby should be treated after one's very near and dear like for married couple , may be spouse. He will find some time, else his PAs/Deputies will do as tehy are paid asstt. May God bless You and have a great time

If I were working with him, I might be using his cars for my personal gains, running them like tourist vehicles..lol That is what I meant by finding reliable people.

How does he find time for that hobby managing such a large empire. He must be surrounded with plenty of reliable folks..lol.

You do..so Imelda Marcos was justified in that collection of shoes and clothing I suppose. :) Of course, she should not have, after all it was the nation's money. :) Here, it is only the shareholders who have been consistently starved, and even brother alienated for monies. :) To be passionate about something is good, but to retain so many is somewhat hovering around craziness. I would understand if he was a collector of vintage cars or something. May be he is planning to collect large enough fleet so that he can run it when reliance throws him out, or leaves it to his children to show off as vintage cars when petrol becomes scarce. lol. But the whole idea seemed hilarious to me. Not for traffic, but to maintain pay insurance, store those cars, etc..

hi thanks almost everyone here is telling that he should not have so many cars... but we fail to see that there are so many who have more than one conveyance at home...I see it like this - he has money and seems to be passionate about cars... so who am I to judge abut why he has so many cars... But if we all started having many vehicles, as a commuter, I definitely do feel the pains of the traffic jams... and I say only what I feel for me. Hope I make sense now

Hi Sid, I am really missing you somewhere!

Lets just suppose you had all his wealth, would you spend it on that many cars? I wouldnt. :) I would think it was crazy, even if I had that kind of money. :) That is why I say he is crazy. :)

Hope you do get to live your crazy desires..

If I have that kind of wealth, I'll probably be even crazier... Since money is no object, I'd make sure I have different car every single day of the year... So I don't need 168 cars, I need at least 365 cars!

You bet, but we try to get forex in while billionaires whose wives pose as philanthropists by the way, corner cars and build mansions that are just crazy things to build. He has 600 servants for his home including drivers so I guess he is employing..but I was wondering what he needs that many cars for unless he goes around soiling them..

myfb..to have hobby is fine, but as you pointed it out, maintaining that many cars is a tough task. That is why I wanted to know if there are billionaires out there who would do something like that. :) And I was just watching a television program yesterday where they showed an orphanage using the small girls with them as house helps. That was so repulsive because the girl was raped by another servant and the lady of the house didnt believe it, and didnt do anything about it. The matter was treated so casually that it was appalling especially because it was a true story. :(

No..I am fine with his plane. That is because he might be short of time so there can be some meetings that can be held while traveling. I am fine with him traveling on plane so to say. However, 168 cars is what concerns me. They are not vintage cars, they are all high end variety cars that are difficult to maintain. Lack of as many cars would not lower him amongst his friend circle. So this passion ..since value of a car comes down with each passing year, is weird to say the least.

168 cars and there is 365 days in a year. So, if he uses each car, it would just be just 2x or 3x for each car!

NGO's out here have a kickback system.:) They get 24 percent of the money they raise. So I understand why people wouldnt want to donate to NGOs.

Riyauro, out here charity has become a business. Financing it would be like encouraging human trafficking. And it is a strange dilemma. If you dont donate, you always feel uncomfortable thinking perhaps some child genuinely needed help and did not receive any. While you and me have some time see sawing through this dilemma, the rich men dont. So the moment they hear of something like that, all charitable institutions go out of their books, lock, stock, and barrell. They after all have more serious issues to handle with greater financial implications. All I am saying is, it is not always miserliness or selfishness that prompts such behavior. I also feel they run businesses and ensure the successes of such businesses so obviously they are doing enough charity because they are employing so many people who are fed and so are their families. The pay scale also covers the education expenses of such employees' children, and costs of medical expenses of the parents or other family members, apart from ensuring decent retirement income. So the industrialists are doing good job. However, 168 cars is truly Total madness, as you put it..:)

Now you give me an idea..if I wanted favors from him, I would buy an old vintage car, and I know where an old Hillman is standing right now, upgrade it and offer it as gift to him, I feel he would be bound to reciprocate and give me a nice new one..lol.

No..I feel had I that kind of money, I would never spend it on automobiles. :)
