My Hearty Wishes for Continued Success
Its gives pleasure to know that an Indian without a sound financial background has made it up to this level. Hope he continues with his mission and explore more avenues for success.

Re: below comment.
They are richer because they have more money. They also employ hundreds, if not thousands, of people - therefore enriching the lives of their employees. I, for one, applaud their efforts because without entrepreneurs and business geniuses, we'd all still be living in the dark ages.
I can only imagine how great it must feel to have created a company that not only employs thousands, but helps my nation's economy to become far stronger. That would certainly make for a rich sense of fulfillment.

RIch for What
Every persons are richest in different manner. it's with kind, mercy, love, serve, personality, attitude, health...etc. also with wealth. these are all depends on his/her dealings with others. no one think you are richer to others coz of you are wealthy. please understand you are not richer to others unless you pay your richness (one of the above mentioned) to others in different ways.
Otherwise why should others call you as richer???

We should be proud of them all. They are at least providing employment to so many Indians and other nationals as well. Their gains are definitely based on their hard work and blessings from above.

With respects .. Indian community forms almost 50% of the UAE's demography .. This fact makes it obvious to be the richest - as well as the poorest - ethnic group in the country .. I don't know about other GCCs .. Good day : )

Top Ten Richest Indians....
Having spent some 30 yrs in GCC countries I have met and known personally a few of them, particularly Mickey Jagtiani during his formative years in Bahrain. He is indeed very hard working, innovative, visionary and possesses great human qualities, befitting to the stature achieved. My best wishes and may God bless him.
