How strange it could be for some of you that few beggars are even so rich to be included in the list of Millionaires. It was really shocking for me when I came across the idea of finding all about how much the richest beggars are earning these days and found that many of them are doing better than 40% of the educated people who are trying to get some boost in their earnings from their white collar job.
Obviously begging is not a profession and something the society really do not approve of, there are people who are making best use of this by utilizing their begging skills to make themselves pretty rich. Moreover, there are several countries which are extremely poor in general, but expecting a beggar to be rich is different story. Many of them own their own houses and even buildings which is a far to think thing for majority of the mediocre living people. Without creating more hype over the matter, let us have a look on the unique list of Richest Beggars who are Millionaires.
UPDATE: This article was updated in 2018 to include latest listing of Top 10 richest beggars in the world.
