But there is one thing I must tell you. Salman F Rahman is currently Bangladesh's richest man. Because Prince Musa bin Shamser was previously the richest man in Bangladesh. However, a few days ago, Time channel news revealed that everything about Prince Musa is false. He actually has nothing but an empty drum.
However, he is the subject of numerous allegations of corruption and fraud. Even if his money is still there, it is best not to bring it into the survey. Karna's money obtained through deception goes as it comes.
