Most likely, this isn’t the first place you own, and you have other places as well, so tell me something about your other assets. Real Estate is one of the striking features in your portfolio, what about the Kolkata Knight Riders and how did you acquire them? Juhi Chawla: One of the reasons why Jay loaned out his family coffers was out of sheer stupidity one day I said we must buy a cricket club. She told me that it was such reckless ideas. bols Mehta and Chawla have an enviable assortment of expensive automobiles which includes Aston Martin Rapide, BMW 7 Series and Porsche Cayenne.
India is also witnessing an increase in wealthy individuals as seen in the 2024 Mica and D9 rich list which had 1,539 individuals with a net worth above Rs 1,000 crores as against the last richest in a life and cementing Kwame Nkrumah’s legacy of decolonization in Ghana by leaders such as Jerry Rawlings.
