Datta Phuge
Dattatrey D. Phuge, popularly known as the Golden Man of India, was an Indian businessman, millionaire and money-taker.
In late 2012, Datta Phuge had an opulent 333$($240,000), 22-carat pure gold shirt made for him, decorated with seven Swarovski crystal buttons and an accompanying flashy gold belt in a matching design. In 2013, he thereby gained an entry in the Guinness Book of World Records for the most expensive shirt.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]
He ran the Vakratund Chit Fund Pvt. Ltd. along with his wife Seema Phuge, a former corporator who belonged to the Nationalist Congress Party.[8] He also ran a co-operative credit society and financial institutions.[9][10]
Datta Phuge was found brutally beaten to death on 14 July 2016.[11][12][13][14]
