This year marks the inaugural release of Forbes 10 Richest People in Maldives list.
Inspirational money maker Chief CEO of Maramiyya Group compiled the list with the help of many volunteer businessmen throughout the Maldives. Chief CEO, the first Maldivian self-made tycoon who is among the world’s 100 wealthiest.
“The goal of this list is to change the perception of what it means to be rich and show others how rich we really are. Carlos Slim Helú, Lakshmi Mittal, Warren Buffet, and Bill Gates they are all cool” said Chief CEO.
This positive project aims to redefine richness and focus media attention on how and why the rich will get richer.

Dear Maramiya group blog advisors,
I am an Indian citizen presently trying to flourish my family life in the Maldives (known fondly among my folks as ‘peeal of strings’). Since i work in the accounting sector I also now and then get curious about the business men in the country and how they interfere with local politics.
Unfortunely I am writing to tell you about some info I received which might be difficult to gulp you MAramiya blog advisor. The information, which was revealed by a reliable source says that Maramiya itself is a cover up by three leading compnaies in Maldives (Cyprea Pvt Ltd, Universal and Champa). At first I did not know what to think. But later i found the logical side of it. All heads of these compaanies serve the Gayoom govenment invarious capacities as advisors and financial and business partners.
Could i be really true that these big time companies who iterally run teh country have turned to Maramiya so trying and confuse the public about actual happenings?

jabir didn’t make it. he sure acts like he got plenty
I am surprised no one from ALia group is mentioned. Aren’t they all billioanairees too?
aharen
Koli Ali Manik is Net Worth $17.0 billion USD!? You guys really want to sound as if you’re filthy rich billionaires don’t you? Do you know what of a figure you are talking about here? Michael Dell (CEO of DELL Inc.) is Net Worth $16.4 billion USD, and you’re telling me Koli Ali Manik is richer of a bastard than Michael Dell himself? This stuff really makes me want to laugh off at your face.
You know who else is less worth than Koli Ali Manik? Steve Ballmer, CEO of Microsoft. who’s worth $15.0 billion. LOL. And Lakshmi Mittal, the famous owner and billionaire of Arcelor Mittal Inc. is equally rich to the Chief CEO of Maramiyya Group. Ha ha! Bite me, wannabes. State your true figures, you guys aren’t poor. Just don’t become wannabe’s.
Perhaps you’re speaking of the total amount of money earned throughout a person’s entire lifespan. Get real. Retards.
yhahahahaha
‘
wot a load of horseshit!
Koli Ali Manik owns major controlling share of Michael Dell.
Forbes estimates Michael Dell’s net worth at $17.2 billion
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Dell
As all of them are anyway Business related to the Goverment,…
instead of wasting money on totally nonsense things,..
think about it to improve the education and status of health for all Maldivians !
Your country grow way too fast,… as well because of the “top ten” guys ,…
If you want to impress me,… then publish a list of the People on this list, who perform the education and pushed the terms of innovation !!
Till then Dagobert Duck’s of Maldives,… keep dreaming !!
Your people with thank you !! and those are your employees of tomorrow.
Such a nice blog. I hope you will create another post like this.
This is a fake list, what about those who have Swiss accounts? You will never know, for sure, who is the richest. And how the money came from!
This is utterly outrageous. Do you even know what a controlling share is? And how can you have a controlling share of Micheal Dell? Or did you mean Dell Inc? Even then, don’t you reckon The Financial Times would have pointed out in the recent Mergers & Acquisition activities that a controlling shareholder of Dell Inc is a businessman from the small island nation of Maldives?
No doubt these people are wealthy. But being billionaires? How can Maldives, one of the poorest countries in the world, have more billionaires than the United Kingdom?
I have checked the forbes billionaires list of 2008 and none of these names are in that list.
Maldivians are fu*kers. Sultans of the Seas Group Chairman is Keeping his CEO Aathu and fu*king her pu**y and mouth, day and night at one and only Reethi Rah. Don’t compare the richest billionaries in the world with this as*h*les. These are island fu*kers

Dear Maramiya group blog advisors,
Hey I’d like to know whether you guys are diagnosed with blepharochalasis or summin alike.!! If so instead of bullshittin i’d insist you to consult an opthamologist first.!! Buruma, Koli Manik and they might have millions of dollars might reach a billion as well.!! Buh u knw wah.?! I’d say tht its lame tht you guys are in possession of such an immense number of money.!! See.!! Wah have you done.?! Maldives is listed as one of the poorest countries throughout the world.!! We do have a good industries.!! For example tourism.!! <<< We sure do have gud employment for the citizens for thah but dun u think u guys need to intervene.!! Surely u guys are quixotic.!! Proves us enuf from ur flourished companies.!! Lookin forward to Gasim who runs a major company in Maldives worths around $800 million i’d say.!! I’d like to squeeze about his philanthropism here.!! Maldivians hav been fooled about it.!! His loans hav been offered by World Bank.!! Costin around millions of dollars.!! Does he pay back the money.?! Wat abt the annual interest.?! 5%..?? A wahh.?! Isn’t that a lot of money.?! Wat had been asked for him to do.?! YES.!!! Gud Question.!! He has to donate this specific amount of money on scholarships.!! So we need to alter this perceptions as well.!! Rite or not.?!
- Headin bak to the topic
* Anybody who has common sense knws wats goin on here.!! LOL.!!

wtf……who ever wrote this fukin shite must be retarded……$42 billion….even the most richest man Bill Gate’s net worth is $40 billion…
this is not fair!! It sounds like to me that they have penlty of money for me to have. all us poor people should rob them!!!!
as it seems the richest person in the maldives must be Maumoon. and yet suprising to see this list without alia. so i dont think this is a correct one. if Burumaa is richer than Maumoon, why whould he be the veice president of DRP. i gess money talks. and with Yamin. in the list lower than all t the other members. the list is not all true. He must come second. and he will own more than any other person but not Maumoon. just think and write what you are saying. some guys in this list richer than world top ten. it is never possible. but Maumoon and Yamin can. and u can Never know Maumoon total property Price. I can put my House on that bet…… so F**&%%$#….
so LOLY IS RICHER THAN MR. BILL GATES?
obviously the guy who wrote this doesnt have a clue of how much is a BILLION DOLLAR.
most of the commenters of this posts seems like idiots, they don’t understand the post. analyzing the comments i can say that most maldivians are brainless idiots.
and great post, maramiyya!
hehe
