A Pakistani Hits Forbes Billionaire List, for the First Time
Forbes today released a list of the top billionaires in the world, where Bill Gates lost his crown to Mexican telecom tycoon, Carlos Slim.
There is a good news that Business Tycoon Mian Mohammad Mansha has made his slot in Forbes billionaire list, first Pakistani to achieve the glory.
Mansha’s Nishat Group is Pakistan’s largest exporter of cotton clothes (for brands like Gap) and nation’s largest private employer; also invests in power projects, cement and insurance. Smart bet in banking: Won a controversial bid for Muslim Commercial Bank during the country’s privatization push in 1991. Sold more than half of his MCB shares for $900 million May 2008.

No! show your yearly tax paying statement. The list is on the base of yearly tax paying. There r many others billionaires in Pakistan who have black money more than Mansha but there name can’t add.
waiting for more pakistanis but these rich peoples are not good for their employees as compared to multinational God give them wealth but this has to be farely distribute among their workers although is very wast topic but nice to see paki in the list

It is not good news,, Shows the extreme income inequality in Pakistan.
And I also wonder why our Honourable president is not being included in the list???
where Zardari stands in the list
How is this possibly something to be proud off? THe mansha group is known for having wage problems with its workers, beating up of union leaders and not to mention tax dodging!
Nadir agreed these Mansha is worst employer also he showed his weatlh which may be not true

can someone imagine how many pplz in pakistan are living below poverty level, ? and how these Wealth collectors make Empires on their heads.
HUH… cheaters…..
There must be 100 other billionaires in Pakistan who doesn’t want to be disclosed. I wonder how Mansha’s name appeared on the list of billionaires and not Zaradari’s. Perhaps, this year he must have cleared all the outstanding TAX dues!
U give the here the wrong information about Mia Muhammad Mansha Yaha. He have 4.7 Billion US Dollor not 1 billion Dollor http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mian_Muhammad_Mansha_Yaha
Check link again you will see
Net worth ▲ US $ 1 billion (2010)[1]
at right side of wiki page :)
Yes, the fact is that if Zardari’s total wealth (no need to discuss where he got it from)is put in a single account then us pakistani’s are 100% sure that Zardari will be on top of Forbes billionaire list.
this is wrong information mian mansha having more then 5 billion dollars
yaar kaafi zyada hai PK mei
but koi dispose nai krta khud koo
Hamain kya lgay… ;););)
