According to News18, barber-turned-billionaire-businessman Ramesh Babu owns more than 400 luxury cars. Deemed India’s ‘Billionaire Barber,’ Ramesh Babu's luxurious car collection includes high-end brands like Rolls Royce, Mercedes, Bentley, BMW, Jaguar, and many more. According to DNA India, not only is Ramesh Babu’s luxury car collection the biggest in India, but it’s also more extensive than Mukesh Ambani and Gautam Adani’s luxury car collection combined! While Ambani is estimated to own 168 luxury cars, Adani is estimated to be in possession of 10 ultra-luxury cars.
From rags to riches
Ramesh Babu's rags-to-riches story is truly inspirational. According to News 18, his father used to run a barbershop. After his dad’s sudden death when Ramesh was just 7, his mother became the breadwinner for their family. At the age of 13, and amid a financial crisis, Ramesh started contributing to his family by doing odd jobs like newspaper and milk delivery. He quit his studies after 10th grade and took over his father’s barbershop (his mother initially had to loan it to his uncle for a meager sum of Rs 5 per day) and transformed it into a trendy hairstyling salon, Inner Space. Interestingly, he still runs his salon.
With bigger dreams in mind, Ramesh Babu started his own car rental and self-drive business, Ramesh Tours and Travels. The first car that he purchased with his savings and some help from his uncle was a Maruti Omni, which he then rented out. As the business picked up, the number of cars in his fleet increased. Ramesh Babu started purchasing luxury cars in 2004 with the first one being the Mercedes E Class Sedan, which cost him Rs 38 lakh. He was reportedly the first person to rent luxury cars in Mumbai. According to DNA India and Economic Times, he also purchased a Rolls Royce Ghost worth Rs 3 crore and a Mercedes Maybach S600 in 2017 worth Rs 3.2 crore.
Net worth
Ramesh Babu’s estimated net worth is around Rs 1200 crore. Reportedly, Ramesh Babu's car rental company boasts of a high-profile clientele including Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Aamir Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, and Sachin Tendulkar.
Billionaire Gautam Adani has reclaimed the title of Asia's richest person, surpassing Mukesh Ambani, with a net worth of $111 billion, compared to Ambani's $109 billion. Adani's rise is attributed to a surge in Adani Group stocks following reports of aggressive expansion plans.
Mukesh Ambani's luxury car collection expands with Nita Ambani's customised pink Rolls-Royce Phantom VIII worth Rs 12 crore. The Rolls-Royce brand holds a special place as a personal favourite of the Ambani family.
V.S.Reddy, the founder and managing director of British Biologicals, owns the Bentley Mulsanne EWB Centenary Edition, the most expensive car in India. The car costs around Rs 14 crore and is customized to look like a mini office.
The largest car collection in the world belongs to Hassanal Bolkiah, the Sultan of Brunei Darussalam since 1967. At 76, the sultan is the longest-reigning monarch after the late Queen Elizabeth II and has spent a chunk of his estimated $30 billion fortune amassing a unique selection of luxury cars.
Dr Shamsheer's net worth has grown 68% this year, from $2.2 billion (₹18,295 crore) in 2022, making him the richest doctor in India. Comparative data indicates Dr Shamsheer is also the fastest-growing non-resident Indian on the list.
Savitri Jindal is at number one among the richest women of India. Her net worth is 29.1 billion dollars. Savitri Jindal is the honorary chairperson of the O.P. Jindal Group and succeeded her husband O.P. Jindal in 2005. After Jindal's death he inherited the empire.
Dubai is also home to 212 millionaires with over $100 million or more, and 15 billionaires. Dubai ranked 21st on the list that ranked the top 50 cities based on the raw number of high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs). The only other Middle Eastern city that made the top 50 was Tel Aviv in Israel, with 24,300 millionaires.
