The Rs. 5-crore conundrum

Sushil Kumar just won the Rs. 5 crore jackpot on Kaun Banega Crorepati. Stories of millionaires who die penniless are all too common.

What would be your advice to Sushil, to make sure he uses his money in the best possible way?

    You all know KBC is Good Business.
    But have you ever pondered...
    How Good....????

    Any guesses? Let's see...
    Airtel is charging Rs.6/- per SMS sent for this contest.
    Assuming there are only 100 entries from say 10 cities of some 20 districts and
    20 states...

    6(Rs/SMS) x 100(entries) x 10(cities) x 20(districts) x 20(states) = 6
    x 100 x 10 x 20 x 20 = Rs.24,00,000

    24 lakhs in 20 minutes.
    (People trying for the 2 lakhs cash prize)

    Imagine what if 1000 entries try out from 100 cities?

    The figure simply grows by 2 more zeroes and yields a whopping 24 Crores!!!!

    And it does not stop there...

    In practice it could be another multiple of 100 or a multiple of 1000 on an
    average.

    In that case it is 24 x 100crores earnings in just 20 minutes on every
    episode!!!

    And the prize money: A mere 2 crore..
    (and from whose pocket?)

    And the best part of this calculation is just the SMS earning!!

    What about the Ad money?

    A rough annual profit calculation goes like this:

    2400 x 5 x 4) (episode/month) x 12 = 5,76,000 crores.

    Let even 50% get dissolved in taxes and other payments, still you will be left
    with (which includes even the meagre 480 crores of prize money i.e.if every
    episode bags 2 crore prize)!

    2,88,000-crores profit !!! (only from SMS)

    PS:

    Now you know why AB gets all emotional when the episodes end...........

    Rs50 lacs for family members and charities

    Keep your money in your pocket not in your heart or head. Do not get mad of MONEY POWER. Be humble , simple and live a tension free life.Prosperity Leads to Pride, Pride Leads to war, War leads to Poverty.A full circle of destruction due to PRIDE So be careful. There are many danger trap by greedy freinds and relatives. Ensure to show maximum mercy. You can think of helping needy souls, ORPHANS, WIDOWS, DESTITUTE AGED, CANCER PATIENTS, CHARITY NGO'S. NEED NOT TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE STYLE OVERNIGHT AS A RICH MAN.Keep this fortune away from home secured in Bank. This blessing should not be a curse for your family. GOD BLESS...President Mercy Angel Asso.

      This is very much true 100%! WSee whats happened to our Indian Cricketers who put all their moneys in their hearts, heads and now tumbling down bvery fast. True goes the saying, What does it a profit a man or a woman i he gains the whole world and last go to hell. Better to do good rather than evil of selfishness and pride !

    don't let anybody borrowed the money....invest in property, business...or put in bank.....don't even think about stock market
  • Jijo  •  6 months ago
    At first deposit this money in bank for one year, and you relax for a while. then think about what to do with this.
    I have a good suggestion ( i think so) buy one or two villa in a big city and give it for rent. No need any tension and you will have
    a monthly income and will have good investment. If you sell your property after some years, you will get double of which you have spend now.

    Please dont give money to anyone. Put the some part in BANK in Fixed Deposit, Use the Fixed Deposit interest to help your relatives for sometime. After sometime, ( 6 to 7 months) now use the FD interest to start small business. Spin more small business and grow from there. Dont touch the actual BIG money. That is not easy to make. I read your message to help your relatives, Please help only with the interest. Dont go for big home immediately, take good house for rent(big one). Then using the business profit within a 2 years, you can built a good house. This is my advice. Thanks, R Prabhakaran

    My tip for the winner. please leave India at once or some mafia would have started finding u specially in U.p. & bihar...!!
  • Rana B  •  6 months ago
    Put the money in BANK in Fixed Deposit, after making your own house. Use the Fixed Deposit interest to help poor people. Use Rs.12500/- to join Talk Fusion business, which is a global online business and can be done from your home.

    Dear Mr. Sushil,

    Congratulations for winning 5CR. First of all settle the Income Tax by this you will keep the Income Tax officials away.

    NEXT just deposit this money in the bank for ONE YEAR. Let the reality of you winning the 5CR settle down. The interest from the bank will take care of the need of your family and your two brothers who accompanied you to the KBC show.

    At the moment don't do anything! You are not clear what to do and you will have many, many, many, many advisers TELLING you how to use this money and they will really add to your already confused mind. So just do not do any "THINKING" for the time being! INVEST in the BANK for the time being.

    You will be wise enough to THINK straight within a years time. I am not saying you not intelligent. Since its a lot of money and never handle such a huge amount of cash, I don't want you to LOOSE it to the "SO CALLED FINANCIAL ADVISERS".

    DO NOT INVEST IN SHARE MARKET and MUTUAL FUND you will LOOSE your money. Share Market and MF are like HORSE RACE gambling. Invest in LAND and some REAL estate and Rent the flats so that you have money every month.

    All the best. Be humble and remember the poor. DO NOT discuss with ANYONE how you will use or invest your Rs 5 Crores. Just listen to all who suggest and advise you, DO NOT SAY A WORD just listen! And you will be known as the Intellegent and the WISE MAN who won Rs 5 Crs.
