The wealth of Bangladesh’s wealthiest individuals remains significant in comparison to the nation’s average citizens, notwithstanding the country’s ongoing economic disparity.
A rising class of billionaires resides in Bangladesh, which is simultaneously confronting political and economic difficulties. With an astounding $12 billion in net worth, Musa Bin Shamsher is the richest of them all. Alongside him are other well-known individuals who emphasize the country’s growing economic importance in spite of continuous unrest, such as Salman F. Rahman and Sajeeb Wazed Joy.
The Bangladeshi “Ambani” is Musa Bin Shamsher.
The richest and most controversial person in Bangladesh is Musa Bin Shamsher, popularly known as Prince Musa. The DATCO Group, a business engaged in global arms trade and power brokerage, was founded by him. According to sources, his estimated fortune is $12 billion, or around Rs 99,600 crore, which makes him 40,000 times wealthier than previous Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, whose assets are estimated to be worth Rs 2.48 crore.
Comparing Mukesh Ambani and Musa Bin Shamsher
The richest businessman in India, Mukesh Ambani, chairman of Reliance Industries, has a larger fortune than Musa Bin Shamsher, despite the fact that he leads Bangladesh’s wealth rankings. According to Forbes’ list of real-time billionaires, Mukesh Ambani has a net worth of $101.1 billion as of November. Musa Bin Shamsher’s estimated income is far outweighed by Ambani’s varied conglomerate, which includes petrochemicals, retail, sports, and telecoms.
In contrast, Forbes’ real-time wealthiest list states that Gautam Adani, another of India’s richest businessmen, is worth 63.7 billion. Musa Bin Shamsher still cannot be compared to the wealthiest businesspeople in India, such as Mukesh Ambani and Gautam Adani.
Notwithstanding socioeconomic challenges such as unemployment and poverty, Bangladesh has seen an increase in the wealth of its billionaires. The growing impact of Bangladeshi businesspeople on the international scene is shown in individuals such as Salman F. Rahman and Musa Bin Shamsher. When compared to global tycoons like Mukesh Ambani, these billionaires’ fortune is still tiny.
