Bhanwar Lal Raghunath Doshi, one of the world's richest men according to Forbes, has given up all his wealth to become a monk.
One of Forbes' world's richest men, Bhanwar Lal Raghunath Doshi has relinquished his business empire worth Rs 600 crore ($100 million) trading in plastic raw material.
He started his empire when he borrowed Rs 30,000 from his father in the late 70s to start his own plastic trading business in Delhi.
On Sunday, May 31, he gave it all up to become a Jain monk at a highly publicized and heavily attended event at the Ahmedabad Education Society.
His consecration ceremony was attended by both Jain spiritual leaders and the city's top industrialists.
