Nice list, is Sonia Gandhi the grand daughter of the popular Gandhi? I never knew Putin is that wealthy
Sonia Gandhi is Italian Borne widow of Rajiv Gandhi who was not the grand son of Gandhi but of Jawahar Lal Nahru.Nehru named his children in Gandhi’s Name,that is trickery of Nehru Family.
She is NOT AT ALL CONNECTED to Mohandas Gandhi who led the freedom struggle.
Gandhi’s a pretty common surname in certain parts of the country.
That said, Sonia is an Italian and not Indian to begin with. She is the widow of Rajiv Gandhi, Indira Gandhi’s son and Nehru’s grandson.
She has led the loot of the nation as the head of the Indian National Congress party that has slavishly elected her as head so they can get poor and illiterate people to vote on the basis of the Gandhi surname.
She has NO Legitimate businesses or investments and neither does her family but they have managed to amass all this wealth. Not a new story eh, just different location.
sonia is wife of Ex-pm Rajiv gandhi
Wealth, is something that we cannot take with us, having said that?, why is the royal family of saud, the richest?, this oil which has been divided between the 7000+ royal household princes and princesses of the house of ‘Saud’ belongs to every arab in arabia, does it not?.
Is there royalty in islam?, is it fair?, does the house of Saud actually spend this money well enough?.
What have they achieved?, this answer can only be truly answered by the creator alone, since he knows best.
l’m currently writing a book on the subject of World perception of wealth, that should belong to everyone, yet is controlled by a few.
Nice to know that 2 Indians are in Top 10 Richest Politicians list Jindals have created there wealth doing business but how Sonia Gandhi created it?
