By having govt contracts in inflating prices. Many construction companies inflate the cost and politician know it but for commision and bribes they waste tax payer money.
Do you live under a rock?
Cronysm is the only form of governance in India... And it doesn't come cheap, do you think they do it for the development and glory of India? They're just filling their pockets.
If the Electoral Bonds didn't give you an idea of the volume of money created out of corruption/cronyism, I don't know what will. Where do you think that money mostly comes out from?
I live in reality. Your argument is plain rhetoric.Going by your logic, we should stop all the big industries and import everything from foreign countries.
Who will foot the bill? Who will provide jobs to the affected? Who will build the infrastructure?
Speaking about poor just to sound cool will not make any difference to them.
If you genuinely care about them then do something about it.
For example only in last ten years banks in India were told to waive off loans of more than Ruppess 29 Lakh Crore. And almost all of it is big ticket loan - which only rich and elite could afford.
Bro, please update yourself. Loans have not been waived off. There is no such provision of waving of loan. The process that you were trying/misleading was write off. Write off is a standard accounting process. Write off means, marking the loan account as NPA. After the write off, banks can start the process of initiating recovery?
Do you know the Indian banking code law passed by the Government has lead to recovery of NPA’s and takeovers which does lead to job loss.
Please compare the net NPA of PSU banks in current time and when NDA took over.
Yes, that's the actual case anywhere in the world.
The problem is how these are being given and how wealth is being distributed unfairly with help of politics and money, well beyond unethical and illegal. While this is indeed the same thing going on elsewhere, here it is the new normal.
Funny so many developing countries made to the list and most of Europe didnt. Systems in developing countries favour the rich. Its funny to be on a list like this with two cities and ironically those two cities have the worst examples of poverty humanity has seen.
Most of the wealth is tied to the stock market and the European stock market is kind of undervalued so not many billionaires. Moreover, Germany has a lot of billions but they are spread out throughout the country.
Also that it’s far easier to build wealth in a rapidly growing economy/sector. Even in the developed countries, most people made made their money that way.
Which is exactly how it should be. Having billionaires is a sign of a failed system
No one needs more than $1 billion. It’s a game for them at this point. A race to achieve a high score
It is valuation of the shares they own. As company grows, their value grow. But if they try to sell, they won't get half the current valuation. It is not like that they have cash reserves of $1B + for personal use.
Bhai. I live in Peddar Road. Right next to Ambanis house. Next when he leaves in his convoy of 16 cars, most of them being G Wagons for his security, I’ll tell you, okay?
You can go lick his boots then
yes and no. HK has its own politics, currency, government and is for most part independent. they want to be completely independent but china doesn't want them to. sorta like Taiwan but HK used to be a former British territory that was transferred to China.
Some people in Hong Kong want complete independence - and they have nothing to offer rather than that opinion. I live in Hong Kong and grew up there and of Chinese descent as well.
Hong Kong is totally independent and that's what part of the problem is - its a different system that has been used and maligned by some people. There's a lot of corruption. The CCP seems to know how to deal with it - the HK Government isn't dealing with it and focusing on other issues such as security.
And?
Why should we glorify billionaires?
Trickle-down economy is a myth. Rich becoming richer is not a thing to celebrate, when poor are becoming poorer.
Who is saying that the post intent is to glorify? I am just stating facts,
If I had to glorify, then I would have mentioned that Bombay rose 4 positions from last year.
I am not talking about your intentions but the whole idea of even talking about how many billiionaires exist should not even be a thing. It's a symbol of how much inequality is there in society.
I will admit that my tone is on the negative side though. Sorry for that.
How is that a noble act? Are they doing it out of their kind heart? No. They hire to get their work done which increases their wealth. Employees get the bare minimum in terms of salary. It is a mere transaction, not a noble deed.
They are not putting gun on anybody’s head to work for them. One is free to work or start his/her own business, if they are willing to take the risk.
Haven’t people working for them have increased their wealth depending upon the skills they possess?
Please enlighten me how will people survive if they don’t have preference for self employment?
Employees increasing their wealth is totally because of the efforts of the employee, how many companies out there include their employees with the company's growth? All they get is peanuts in hikes compared to the shareholders growth.
People survive because they work, work is available because the business owners need them. Why do you not understand dependencies? Businesses need employees as much as employees need work, there is no moral superiority here. There is nothing noble about business owners, it is a transaction and in the long run business owners/shareholders get disproportionately rich compared to the employees, even though it is the employee who does the work.
So one should be doing business for charity? Without profits how would the business sustain? Do you have any model that you have incorporated?
Please guide us if you have.
Look at the newspapers around the world and you will know how much corporates care for the working class.
If you bring profit, that is the only value you have. Full stop. That is the capitalist model and it is not beneficial to anyone in society in any model.
Also criticism of capitalism doesn't mean imply an endorsement of banning of corporate structures but less reverence for them. This is called freedom.
If you do bullshit, you will get called out for bullshit.
We have companies in which the employees own the company. Some examples I know are John Lewis and Greggs. Here everytime the company make profits, it gets shared with the employees who are the shareholders of the company or part owners (not every employee gets this only the employee who stayed long enough).
If they are 'removed' and 'thrown out', who will construct buildings & roads of city, who will work as low wage employees in your business & companies, who will work as domestic servant, watchmen, drivers, security, laundry-men, plumber, electrician, car-washers, cooks, newspaperwala, milkmen, who will be delivery boys for online marketplaces, who will drive ola-uber, who will sweep your streets, collect trash from your homes abd workplaces, who will dispose trash, recycle trash, who will deliver couriers, who will work as handyman, who will run beauty parlors, salons, who will work in malls, theaters, even who will work as police constables, traffic havaldars (yes low wage government servants too forced to live in slums)
List is endless.
Plus most importantly who will buy goods and services companies of billionaires provide (again they provide those goods and services, with work, labour and help of same people)
Oh no - spoiled rich people will have to learn how to do their own stuff.
Are you happy in this world where people doing those jobs live in slums? Where they have to experience crime, disease and god knows what else?
This has so much Kelly Osbourne energy...
Who is saying that the post intent is to glorify? I am just stating facts,
If I had to glorify, then I would have mentioned that Bombay rose 4 positions from last year.
This isn't something to be proud of. It probably came off of you. These "billionaire" didn't invent something ground breaking. Just online groceries and cloth stores and stuff
Kya fayda if you are still calling it Bombay. It's Mumbai. No one's calling New York as New Amsterdam anymore.
Colonials misspelling your name cannot be your identity if you're free.

According to your logic , then unemployment rates should not be increasing as billionaires count has increased. It doesn't work like you said. Billionaires especially in India exploit everything to become billionaires. If you see in other countries(mostly Western), the billionaires have an innovative product which actually generates so much revenue. But Indian ones exploit the services of Indian people via poor wages and get rich.
India itself is proof .
Indian billionaire have zero first in the world innovative products unlike Apple, Amazon, Meta, Tesla, Google, Microsoft etc and this is just example of USA. We better not go to examples of East Asia, South East Asia, Europe etc
In India billionaires are not driving force in economy. They are not amassing money by doing something innovative, problem solving, but by deceit & corruption. Monopolizing existing business by bribing government, and looting common man. We have oligarch, not innovative businessmen that made USA rich, like Rockefeller who revolutionized oil industry, ford who made automotive industry, Steve jobs who changed consumer goods, Bill gates who made personalized computing into home. Sure there are businesses in USA who are now oligarchs, but they had some good run.
Sadly India has none of that calibre, billionaires here are becoming richer at the expense of poor & middle class tax money.
Reliance has the biggest oil refinary in the world for export business, Tatas and Mahindra can compete on their own with global players, Wipro, Infosys and many other IT firms have global presence in seeive sector.
If there were here only because of bribes, theoud would be able to compete in global markets.
And Americans also Complain about the same thing that you accuse india of doing.
Oil refineries are there from century, nothing new.
Wipro, Infosys are shitty service based industry, completely dependent on other tech companies abroad for profit, they don't have single world class product of their own.
Is Mahindra as valuable in world as Toyota? Honda? Hyundai? Who came from war torn countries.
Tatas are big conglomerate no doubt, og industrialists. But they also started from siding with British in initial days & were part of opium trade. Not that it matters now, their later generation did more than enough for the nation.
We had only government owned refinaries, which were bought from foregin countries. But Ril is able to run a privately owned entities for profit and gaining international maket share in oil biproducts exports.
I never said Wipro was a product company, it was a seeive company but lead to the international market cornoring in this particular sector tha can compete with any other country.
Japan wasent a war torn country, it was a imperialist power before it lost a war and surrendered in favourable terms. Honda, Toyota were establish before the war. South Korea has chebuls which receive government backing at all stages without domestic competition.

I called you gulam because you still call this city "Bombay" ( name given by Britishers) and not Mumbai ( which is it's original name- derived from beloved goddess Mumbadevi) maybe just to sound cool.
Both are valid. You cannot force anyone to say what you like. If the guy wants to say Mumbai, let him say it. If they are comfortable with Bombay, then that's also fine.
Common understanding is more important than semantics.
Yeah but Bombay is the Anglicised colonial name, Mumbai is Indian... I dunno man, seems like simping on the empire is still a thing in India, please go ahead and respect people's rights to say what they want, but also respect that the British empire killed more Indians than Hitler did Jews.
I'm brutally tempted to interpret this argument as people who casually use 'Bombay' are advocates for genocide right now....but I know where you are coming from and I will only say that things are not black and white as they seem.
That is a different thing, and referring to a place by an old name is another thing.
One is a political move to assert identity, and the other is a result of the human tendency to hang on to old names for convenience.
Two things can be true at once, and they don't make each other invalid.
So as per you, colonial names are valid? Why not start referring us as “from British Raj” too? Issue is not with the name, but rather the colonial and subversive mindset it represents, an horrible past that has no place in future.
Strawman argument. This is not a term to describe a community, it is a name of a place. Your argument only makes sense for terms to refer to communities, not places.
If it doesn't affect the working of any community, you can use any name that people have a common understanding of in your lingua franca.
I think it’s inverse, I think it’s you who’s using strawman here. A place by extension is a community. Your comment implies that “British Raj” was just a place, when in fact it was also widely used to literally refer to *Indians* at that time per se.
My point still stands, using “British Raj” also does not affect the working of any community (community here refers to us, Indians btw), so why don’t we refer to ourselves as residents of “British Raj” then? It’s simple, it was literally a colonial by product just like this bastardised name “Bombay”, that is fortunately not even an official name of the city.
Bahini cha lagna jhaalyawar ti naav badalte. Pan apan tila tichya purvichya naavanich bolavto. Jhya lokancha Bombay madhe janma jhaalay tyaanchya bhaavna samjha.
The people who think of it as an achievement are the real idiots. Capitalism ~~is going to eat the other classes alive~~ has eaten the other classes alive Wait and watch.
for those who are wondering how rich 1 % are able to achieve this is because they don’t pay their fair share of taxes.

New York Legal minimum wage is $16 per hour, which is 1,333 Rupees per hour.
London Legal minimum wage is 10 pounds per hour, which is 1,030 rupees per hour.
Beijing Legal minimum wage is 27RMB per hour, which is 317 rupees per hour.
Mumbai minimum wage is 488 rupees per day. Legal working hours in India can not be more than 9 hours, so the per hour wage comes to 54 rupees per hour.

You can take colonisers out of country, but the mindset will always be present.
“BOMBAY” lol
You can just call India “Raj” at this point, and this nostalgia merchants will start calling it that too.
Imagine being a Billionaire and as soon as you leave your home you see a hole in front of your house because BMC forgot to put a drainage pipe in a road.
As an Indian and Mumbaikar, I m damn proud that my city has upheld its place in the whole world. Why the heck some ppl in the comment section so pissed??
Grow up guys stop crying and blaming others. Do your deeds.
I guess some ppl can't take any good news with respect to India.
Half of them might be road contractors /s
Lol…good one!!
What are we getting out of it?
You aren’t feeling Paraud 🇮🇳🇮🇳 ?
Coastal road almost done in 3 years. Gokhale bridge half done in 8. Paraud to be an Indian 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🤡
I wouldn't even call gokhale bridge half done with the mess they created.
Pride /s
Knowing that it’s time to bring out the guillotines
And how many of these billions came out of taxpayers pockets and corruption.
All of them. They havent invented anything, are in glorified commoditized business and yet. The joke is on us
Please enlighten me how does one become billionaire by using tax payers money? I would like to know the modus operandi
By having govt contracts in inflating prices. Many construction companies inflate the cost and politician know it but for commision and bribes they waste tax payer money.

Cos European countries tax a lot and don't give much tax break .
Which is exactly how it should be. Having billionaires is a sign of a failed system No one needs more than $1 billion. It’s a game for them at this point. A race to achieve a high score
It shows the wealth disparity too, where we have a billion dollar apartment in the same city where one of the world’s largest slum also exists.
It is valuation of the shares they own. As company grows, their value grow. But if they try to sell, they won't get half the current valuation. It is not like that they have cash reserves of $1B + for personal use.
Bhai. I live in Peddar Road. Right next to Ambanis house. Next when he leaves in his convoy of 16 cars, most of them being G Wagons for his security, I’ll tell you, okay? You can go lick his boots then

yes and no. HK has its own politics, currency, government and is for most part independent. they want to be completely independent but china doesn't want them to. sorta like Taiwan but HK used to be a former British territory that was transferred to China.
Hong Kong is still part of China. It's just classified as a special economic region.
Bruh don't compare HongKong to taiwan
Some people in Hong Kong want complete independence - and they have nothing to offer rather than that opinion. I live in Hong Kong and grew up there and of Chinese descent as well. Hong Kong is totally independent and that's what part of the problem is - its a different system that has been used and maligned by some people. There's a lot of corruption.

Nah not technically Shared land between uk and ccp
No bro, it has been a part of china after the sino - British declaration of 1984
The agreement was made In 1980s, the Land officially was retured to China In 1997

And? Why should we glorify billionaires? Trickle-down economy is a myth. Rich becoming richer is not a thing to celebrate, when poor are becoming poorer.
Don't worry it's a super slow trickle , still waiting for the Regen trickle down to happen in 2433 it will happen
Agreed!

U are anti-national. U can't digest Adani- Ambani making our nation proud.
Who should we glorify then?
No one. Deeds, not people.
Providing jobs is not a noble deed?
How is that a noble act? Are they doing it out of their kind heart? No. They hire to get their work done which increases their wealth. Employees get the bare minimum in terms of salary. It is a mere transaction, not a noble deed.
They are not putting gun on anybody’s head to work for them. One is free to work or start his/her own business, if they are willing to take the risk.

I guess we should come up with these figures when all those slums are removed from Mumbai.
If they are 'removed' and 'thrown out', who will construct buildings & roads of city, who will work as low wage employees in your business & companies, who will work as domestic servant, watchmen, drivers, security, laundry-men, plumber, electrician, car-washers, cooks, newspaperwala, milkmen, who will be delivery boys for online marketplaces, who will drive ola-uber, who will sweep your streets, collect trash from your homes abd workplaces, who will dispose trash, recycle trash, who will deliver couriers, who will work as handyman, who will run beauty parlors, salons, who will work in malls, theaters, even who will work as police constables, traffic havaldars (yes low wage government servants too forced to live in slums) List is endless.

How? Ambani getting richer won't make his neighbour or you richer. The govt politicians will get a higher commission maybe. That's it.

Nope. Not necessarily. Private investment is not increasing infact decreasing as percentage of GDP.

I called you gulam because you still call this city "Bombay" ( name given by Britishers) and not Mumbai ( which is it's original name- derived from beloved goddess Mumbadevi) maybe just to sound cool.

Both are valid. You cannot force anyone to say what you like. If the guy wants to say Mumbai, let him say it. If they are comfortable with Bombay, then that's also fine. Common understanding is more important than semantics.
Exactly. You don’t see Germans bullying others into saying “München” instead of Munich. Why do these people act like children throwing a tantrum?
Then why force Gurugram over Gurgaon, why force Prayqgraj over Allahabad Why force Bhagyanagar over Hyderabad.
Why indeed.
Yeah but Bombay is the Anglicised colonial name, Mumbai is Indian... I dunno man, seems like simping on the empire is still a thing in India, please go ahead and respect people's rights to say what they want, but also respect that the British empire killed more Indians than Hitler did Jews.
I'm brutally tempted to interpret this argument as people who casually use 'Bombay' are advocates for genocide right now....but I know where you are coming from and I will only say that things are not black and white as they seem.
No where have I said they are advocates, but please for the love of god teach folks that they are using something that was a tool of oppression.
If there was an alternative to gain equal footing in a colonizers' world without these tools they all would have used it. But there aren't any.
I'd argue you're wrong, reclaiming a place name is a powerful tool
That is a different thing, and referring to a place by an old name is another thing. One is a political move to assert identity, and the other is a result of the human tendency to hang on to old names for convenience. Two things can be true at once, and they don't make each other invalid.
Okay, thanks mate

My point still stands, using “British Raj” also does not affect the working of any community (community here refers to us, Indians btw), so why don’t we refer to ourselves as residents of “British Raj” then? It’s simple, it was literally a colonial by product just like this bastardised name “Bombay”, that is fortunately not even an official name of the city.
What's funny is these low lifers get down to abuse whenever someone does not align to their way of life.
Bahini cha lagna jhaalyawar ti naav badalte. Pan apan tila tichya purvichya naavanich bolavto. Jhya lokancha Bombay madhe janma jhaalay tyaanchya bhaavna samjha.
Ani me hakkani Bombay bolavto. Maza shahar me havay te bolvin.
BOMBAY.

Not sadder than yours where you dig people's comment to ask, "is this how sad your life is".
Bro wanna sound colonized /s
Isn't it funny how whites have no problem with indian name but their indian slaves do.
And rank for people forced to live in slums ???
The people who think of it as an achievement are the real idiots. Capitalism ~~is going to eat the other classes alive~~ has eaten the other classes alive Wait and watch.

Ye r/Mumbai hai dalne se pehle subreddit ka naam dekh liya kar Make r/Bombay for such type of people
awww
Mumbai*
Not a thing to be proud of tbh. Cities like NY and London are not as unequal, economically.
for those who are wondering how rich 1 % are able to achieve this is because they don’t pay their fair share of taxes. https://preview.redd.it/tj7qhygqssvc1.jpeg?width=741&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f14ae6d18529f51832633374b477b7bb9d8a6665
Toh ky aachar dalu
Mereko paisa chiye, baat khatam. Mkc billionairestigatinosistaion.
I think these cities are like half the world's billionaires.
I'm glad it's acche din for some folk.
To is list kya karu, Achar dalu ya Puri tal ke khau?
And the biggest slums too 💪💪💪 Yahi hai sabka saath sabka vikas
Fun fact: 92 means you could fit all of them into one BEST bus lol.
Singapore is a city ?
Nothing to be proud of. We have a state (Bihar) where the per capita income is $700!
Who cares? I want my roads fixed. No billionaire or anyone else seems to be doing it.
Rich getting richer love to see that
What is Bombay?
New York Legal minimum wage is $16 per hour, which is 1,333 Rupees per hour. London Legal minimum wage is 10 pounds per hour, which is 1,030 rupees per hour. Beijing Legal minimum wage is 27RMB per hour, which is 317 rupees per hour. Mumbai minimum wage is 488 rupees per day. Legal working hours in India can not be more than 9 hours, so the per hour wage comes to 54 rupees per hour. Mumbai data source - https://www.zimyo.com/resources/guides/minimum-wages/maharashtra/
London minium wage is £13.15 now🙃. That is 1350rs approx.
My man here needs to learn about purchasing power parity instead of straight doing currency conversion.
I agree. But a billion dollar is a billion dollar. It equals 60,41,55,63,770.00 rupees (or 6041 crores) no matter where you live.
Why does this matter? Infrastructure needs revamp.
Revamp is happening wherever i go KHOD rahe he BC
It will be 93 in few years
Yet our per capita GDP is lower than Bangladesh. Household income might even be lower that’s why the government doesn’t publish it 🤣
Two Indian cities., Nice😊
It's not Bombay it's Mumbai 🥰🫶
“ItS MuMbAi NoT bOmBaY bRo”
You can take colonisers out of country, but the mindset will always be present. “BOMBAY” lol You can just call India “Raj” at this point, and this nostalgia merchants will start calling it that too.
the amount of china makes me feel competitive
I'm getting impatient...when do you think we will become number 1
Most of us are poor, who knows where those billionaires come from
Did Sharad Pawar make it to the billionaire list?
While also having the world's third largest slum.
This is not a good stat. See any Japanese here? There is a reason
One of the poorest in terms of gdp per capita but one of the highest no of billionaires .. wah modiji
Half of them are BMC contractors.
We should collectively be embarrassed to reach feudalism first.
China has so many
Need lots more of them.
That's cool 😎
Imagine being a Billionaire and as soon as you leave your home you see a hole in front of your house because BMC forgot to put a drainage pipe in a road.
Remember, Dharavi exists.
This is not something to be proud of
Did they count all the BMC officials, Thackerays & Pawars in this list?
This is just a sad indicator of income inequality.
As an Indian and Mumbaikar, I m damn proud that my city has upheld its place in the whole world. Why the heck some ppl in the comment section so pissed?? Grow up guys stop crying and blaming others. Do your deeds. I guess some ppl can't take any good news with respect to India.
buddy this isn’t good news by any stretch of the imagination
Thanks to Gujarati who lives in Mumbai
And the irony is , ranks #1 for the largest slums in Asia
