his employment status: Beggar
It is a practice normally employed by the unemployed and people down on their luck.
However, begging is turning out to be a lucrative job for one individual in Mumbai, India.
Local media is reporting that beggar Bharat Jain has bagged himself $890,708 by panhandling on the streets of the tech and financial metropolis.
It’s believed he takes home about 2500 rupees daily, which works out to be $30 a day or $904 a month.
And he literally takes it home because he owns a luxurious two-bedroom flat.
He also lets out two shops, which pull in an extra $363 a month.
He’s been named the wealthiest beggar in the world by local media organizations.
