Due to financial instability, Jain was unable to pursue formal education, though he is a married man with a family that includes his wife, two sons, his brother, and his father.

Despite his humble beginnings, Jain has accumulated a net worth of ₹7.5 crore. His monthly earnings from begging range between ₹60,000 and 75,000.

Further, he owns a 2BHK flat in Mumbai worth ₹1.2 crore, and owns two shops in Thane that rent for ₹30,000 per month. Jain reportedly begs at prominent locations Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus railway station (CSMT) or Azad Maidan.

Despite being such a rich man, Jain continues to beg on the streets of the financial capital. While many people struggle to earn a few hundred rupees even after working long hours, Jain manages to earn ₹2,000-2,500 per day within a span of 10 to 12 hours, thanks to the generosity of people.

Jain and his family live in a 1BHK duplex apartment in Parel. His children have attended a convent school and completed their education. His other family members operate a stationery store. They consistently advise Jain to stop begging, yet he disregards their counsel and continues with the begging work.

Must be some sort of mind ailment to keep begging for money I guess.

    I can’t even wrap my head around this one. I wish there were more details about his life. Almost seems like fake news.
