Re: Why doesn't Pakistan have any billionaires?

Pak people's attitude towards money .............. anyone?

I mean a lot of people still have negative thoughts associated with money, like it is an evil (Fitna) and that to have a hold of more and more money for yourself is like robbing others from it.

A fair number of those Billionairs came up with some new or developed ideas and started having abundance of money. You see in Pakistan especially in Punjab (dont know much about other areas), eating is like a hobby. how can you come up with any resourceful ideas of value creation with no room for it in your mind.

Re: Why doesn't Pakistan have any billionaires?

Not true.

Although back in the 60's I believe this actually may have been correct, today India's per capita income ($630) is slightly higher than Pakistan's ($600) according to the World Bank.

It was...but Zulfikar Ali Bhutto's nationalization of all major industries was a huge set back that Pakistan has only recently started to recover from.

I believe most of India's billionaires on the Forbes list are actually resident Indians. Officially, Pakistan is the world's most populous nation without a single dollar billionaire.

Nonetheless, I'm sure there are resident Pakistani billionaires. However, because of the social and political instability of the country (as well as to avoid taxation), they keep the bulk of their assets abroad and dont advertise the extent of their assets. A couple years back, the National Accountability Bureau compiled a list of Pakistani dollar billionaires who were alleged to have acquired their wealth through corruption:

Asif Ali Zardari

Nawaz Sharif

Anwar Saifullah

Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain

Manzoor Wattoo

Salman Farooqi

Ahmed Sadiq

Shaukat Kazim

Humayun Akhtar Khan

Ijazul Haq

General Fazl-e Haq (deceased)

Lt gen. (retd.) Zahid Ali Akbar

Gohar Ayub (retd captain)

Captain Naseer

Aftab Sherpao (retd major)

General (retd) Aslam Beg

Brigadier (Retd) Imtiaz

Also, Sir Anwar Pervez is not a billionaire. He's only worth about 300 million British Pounds.

Kia aap ko maloom hai kay wahan pootpath pay sonay walon ko itni bhi jagah naheen milti kay pooray seedhay ho kar so sakain. adhay adhay aik doosray par so rahay hotain hain.

Ankhon daikha hai India aur Pakistan dono.

Waisay aapki batain mazhaka khaiz lugti hain mujhay.

Jitnay billionair hain India main us say kaheen ziaada blllion kia trillions main pootpathi hain.

Mera mashwara hai yoon un billionairs pay khush honay kay bajaay na sirf un billionar ko balkay aap ko bhi sharm say doob marna chahyay kay bar'aian hanktay phir rahay hain aur khush ho rahain hain.

Hamari taraf say to laanat hai hai billionair mulk pay jahan itnay bhookay nungay pootpathi hain.

Re: Why doesn't Pakistan have any billionaires?

I think Pakistan has a lot of billionares. I am not sure who they are.It is just that apparantly they might not seem billionare but when their property would be revealed to the world , everyone would be stunned, as no one might have guessed that such a person could be actually a billionare.

p.s. I mean billionare in the life hereafter, when the property of "Good deeds" would be revealed by Allah:D
