Bangladesh richest man, Musa Bin Shamsher’s net worth is $12 billion according to media reports, still he is no where in match with India’s richest man Mukesh Ambani.

Currently, Bangladesh is in the global spotlight due to recent political disruption. After a coup, the country has been in turmoil, with violent protests over reservations causing significant disruption. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina was reportedly forced to flee the country after the unrest. Despite the widespread economic challenges, several Bangladeshi billionaires continue to earn crores daily, showing the contrast between the wealthy elite and the nation’s economic struggles.

Despite facing challenges like poverty and unemployment, Bangladesh is home to several billionaires whose wealth has grown rapidly over the past few years. Among these ultra-rich individuals, one name stands out is Musa Bin Shamsher, often referred to as the ‘Ambani’ of Bangladesh.

Bangladesh’s Richest Person

Musa Bin Shamsher is Bangladesh’s wealthiest businessman, known for founding DATCO Group, a company involved in international arms deals and power brokerage. He is often referred to as Prince Musa and sits at the top of the list of Bangladesh’s richest individuals. With a net worth of $12 billion (approximately Rs 99,600 crore), he is 40,000 times wealthier than the former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, whose assets are reportedly worth only Rs 2.48 crore, according to Zee News report in August.

Bangladesh’s Billionaires

Despite the socio-economic challenges, Bangladesh has seen a significant rise in the wealth of its billionaires. The success stories of individuals like Musa Bin Shamsher and Salman F Rahman highlight the growing economic influence of Bangladeshi entrepreneurs. However, their fortunes are still no match for the wealth accumulated by business giants like Mukesh Ambani, whose diversified business empire includes telecom, retail, petrochemicals, and sports.
