Middle Class Billionaire?
The term Middle Class Billionaire sounds like an oxymoron. Rediff says that Adi Godrej is one such person who leads a simple lifestyle. His middle class nature is more than compensated by the highflying lifestyle of his wife. It is common knowledge that Adi Godrej’s wife Parmeshwar Godrej is a permanent fixture in the Page 3 circuit in Mumbai.

If Parmeshwar Godrej continues to splurge a lot, Adi Godrej may no longer be a billionaire:-)This is Parmeshwar Godrej, the undisputed queen of the city’s society circuit. Just having access to the numbers on her mobile phone would ensure a certain level of power. It is not just about having friends in high places or having a wardrobe that probably costs more to put together than the average Indian’s life savings.

----"If Parmeshwar Godrej continues to splurge a lot, Adi Godrej may no longer be a billionaire:-)" ---LOL and well said. I cannot believe how a person like Adi Godrej can have such wife.
If this continues forget retaining the billions, he could even be out of the popular middle-class club :-))

Kaps, I felt the same as Kangaroo. His lifestyle didn't really give me an impression of middle class Indian. Maybe he doesn't lead the life of an Indian billionaire, I don't know. But this is certainly no where near the middle class life we all know of.

LOL! Nice post as usual Kaps. May be you should look at precedents for cases where the wife blew up a man's fortune :-)
Point is, how rich is he, and how much does she really splurge. Media reports are often exaggerated.

@VJ,
I have heard that Adi Godrej has frequent tea/coffee sessions with his employees. were u one of them?
@Monu,
I think what Rediff meant was, he is a simple person considering his wealth.
@Anon,
True
@Thayirsaadham,
yeah....he'll be out of the middle-class club. my question is whether he really belongs to the middle class club?
@Korangoo,
I have changed ur URL.
@Wicked Angel,
As u said, rediff is trying to say that for a person of his wealth, he doesn't have a flashy lifestyle
@Vasanthi,
Couldn't argue with u more on this
@Venky,

@Mitali,
