Forbes’ World Richest Royals…
The royals, kings and queen, in this 21st century may not enjoy the luxury of unreserved admiration, adulation and loyalty from their subjects like it used to be not so long ago. But certainly they still enjoy the luxury of “unlimited” weal…

Mas Fatih, punyakah keterangan atau pendapat kenapa India masuk 3 besar dan melejit dengan 10 orang yang masuk 100 terkaya dunia versi Forbes.
Saya hanya terpikir betapa dasyatnya kesenjangan sosial di India, sementara 10 orang tercatat masuk 100 orang terkaya di dunia di sisi lain cerita kemiskinan yang parah juga datang dari India, tuna wisma, pengemis, pekerja anak, pelacur anak, mati kelaparan di jalan, jual beli darah dan organ tubuh untuk mendapatkan sesuap nasi.
