Guys this is the first lesson of sensational journalism. Rs 50 to billionaire....then you read the article and it is clear. He went there with Rs 50 because that is how much Govt. allows....borrowed with the help of his arab friend 3000 riyal....then small time job etc. so there was a long journey. Many Indians left shore with Rs 50 in hand and became millionaire. That does not mean Rs 50 can make you Billionaire. In that case Ambani went to Yemen with even less money and his empire today is in Billions. Nevertheless PNC Menon's story is an example that with little luck and if you are willing to work hard and make best of opportunities you never know. Great job Mr. menon.
