Last updated on: March 14, 2005 15:47 IST

Rupees 1,100,000,000,000. Or Rs 110,000 crores!

That's the approximate amount of money the world's third richest man Lakshmi N Mittal is valued at.

What can a man do with that kind of money? Well, with that:

Mittal's 25 billion dollar-notes would weigh 2.5 million kg (a dollar bill weighs 1 gram).

Note: All figures have been rounded off for easy comprehension. All rupee figures are approximate. The value of the dollar (which is at Rs 43.54 currently) has been calculated @ Rs 44.
