Once one of UAE’s richest Indians, BR Shetty was worth $3.15 billion at his peak. His company sold for just $1 billion.
Son of a farmer, he moved from Karnataka to UAE in 1973 with $8 and a bag. Shetty ended up owning a private jet.
Coming to Gulf empty-handed, Shetty created UAE’s largest private health operator.
He bought 2 floors in Dubai’s Burj Khalifa for $25 mn, not to live or work but to throw parties.
He loved fast and vintage cars. Owned Morris Minor 1000, Rolls Royce Silver Spirit, Phantom, Mercedes-Maybach M600.
