Sonia Gandhi's wealth valued at Rs 10,000-95,000 crore?

 

Congress President Sonia Gandhi's wealth is estimated to be valued at $2-19 billion (Rs 10,000-95,000 crore), according to Business Insider, a US based internet news.


The news website claims that the sexagenarian is world's fourth richest person. However, the Congress President in the last general elections had declared her assets worth Rs 50-75 lakh.
The Business Insider attributes the source of the story to
World’s Luxury Guide to the richest politicians , a website that sources its information fromForbes.com, OpenSecrets.org, Guardian.co.uk, Bloomberg.com and Wikipedia.org, making its claim a model of vagueness in terms of numbers.


The site places Sonia Gandhi at the fourth place after the Saudi king, the Sultan of Brunei and Michael Bloomberg, New York's mayor.
