<p>The last Nizam of Hyderabad, Mir Osman Ali Khan is known as the first official billionaire of India. Known as the architect of Hyderabad, he ruled the largest princely state in British India from 1911 to 1948.&nbsp;</p>

<p>While most associate the richest Indians with the Ambanis and Tatas, it is rather unknown that Nizam Ali was named "The Richest Man in the World" by Time magazine in its February 22, 1937 issue. He ascended the throne of Hyderabad after his father died in 1911.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>The wealth of&nbsp;Mir Osman Khan</strong></h2>

<p>According to estimates, his net worth was estimated to be around $230 billion (Rs 17.47 lakh crore), after being adjusted to today's inflation. He had 100 million pounds of gold and 400 million pounds of other jewels. He is popularly known for gifting a necklace studded with 300 diamonds to Queen Elizabeth II on&nbsp;her wedding. The Nizam's&nbsp;biggest source of wealth was the Golconda diamond mines, of which he was the owner.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As the Nizam, he established Osmania University, started the Osmania General Hospital, State Bank of Hyderabad, Begumpet Airport, and Hyderabad High Court. To stop Hyderabad - a state roughly the size of the present-day United Kingdom from flooding, he also developed Osman Sagar, Himayat Sagar ad the Nizam Sagar Dam.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>Despite being a man of 'extreme' fortune, Nizam Ali was modest, or some might say 'miser' in his habits, according to most reports. He used to wear very simple clothes but more peculiarly, his bedroom was only cleaned once a year. He had an obsessive liking for the Osmania biscuits, made at the&nbsp;Vicaji Bakery. Although the biscuits were initially not named after him, his fondness for them meant that the name stuck around.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“Nizam was so fond of the biscuits which were not named after him at that time that every day a van was sent from Hazari Bagh to the Vicaji Bakers to fetch a freshly baked pack for the Nizam,” Syed Akbar a journalist and historian was quoted as saying by NewsTAP.</p>

Who was Mir Osman Ali Khan, last Nizam of Hyderabad and first billionaire of India?

<p>The eighth Nizam of Hyderabad, Mir Barkat Ali Khan, also known as Prince Mukarram Jah Bahadur (89), passed suddenly on Saturday night in Istanbul, the Turkish capital, according to a statement from his office on Sunday. On January 17, his children are expected to go to Hyderabad with his mortal remains in order to fulfil the Prince's wish to be buried in his own country. The statement said, “We are deeply saddened to inform that Nawab Mir Barket Ali Khan Walashan Mukarram Jah Bahadur, H.E.H The Eighth Nizam of Hyderabad passed away peacefully in Istanbul, Turkey, late last night at 10:30 pm (IST)." “On arrival, the body will be taken to The Chowmahalla Palace, and after completing the required rituals the burial will take place at the Asaf Jahi family tombs,” the statement added. It said that the schedule and other information will be released in due course.</p>

<h2><strong>Who was Mir Barkat Ali Khan, the Nizam of Hyderabad?</strong>&nbsp;</h2>

<p>Mukarram Jah, the eighth Nizam of Hyderabad, passed away on 12 January, 2023, at the age of 89. Mukarram Jah, the grandson of the last Nizam of Hyderabad, Mir Osman Ali Khan, was the successor to the formerly princely kingdom of Hyderabad. Mukarram Jah, who was born into one of the richest royal families in pre-Independence India, shared his grandfather's title as the richest person in the nation until the 1980s. Azam Jah, the heir apparent of Nizam Osman Ali Khan, and Princess Durru Shehvar, the imperial princess of the Ottoman Empire of Turkey and the daughter of the last Ottoman Caliph Abdulmejid II, gave birth to Jah in France. Jah attended prestigious institutions in London and Cambridge, England, as well as the renowned Dehradun residential school Doon School.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Mukarram Jah attended the London School of Economics as well. Jah was close with Jawahar Lal Nehru, the country's first prime minister. The titular Nizam disclosed in 2010 that PM Nehru wanted him to serve as either his personal representative or the Indian ambassador to a Muslim nation. It is known that Mukarram Jah had a net worth of almost $1 billion. After forfeiting certain assets as part of the 1990s divorce settlement, Jah who had been India's richest man until the 1980s saw a decline in his net worth. However, he was the owner of some landmark structures, such as the Chowmahalla Palace, which is now a museum, and the Falaknuma Palace, which is now a luxury hotel owned by Taj hotels. Mukarram Jah also possessed the Nazri Bagh Palace, Chiraan Palace, and Purani Haveli in Hyderabad as well as the Naukhanda Palace in Aurangabad in addition to Falaknuma and Chowmahalla.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Jah wed five times in all, the first time to a Turkish noblewoman. According to reports, he divorced her because she refused to follow his wishes and move from the palace in Hyderabad to a sheep property in the Australian outback. Then he wed an ex-BBC employee who was also an air hostess. After the passing of his second wife in 1992, he wed Miss Turkey Manolya Onur, who was to become his third wife. He wed a Moroccan lady and a Turkish woman twice more. His full stylised name is: His Exalted Highness Prince Rustam-i-Dauran, Arustu-i-Zaman, Wal Mamaluk, Asaf Jah VIII, Muzaffar ul-Mamalik, Nizam ul-Mulk, Nizam ud-Daula, Nawab Mir Barakat 'Ali Khan Siddiqi Bahadur, Sipah Salar, Fath Jang, Nizam of Hyderabad and Berar.</p>

Who was the eighth Nizam of Hyderabad, Mir Barkat Ali Khan, who died in Turkey?

<p>Queen Elizabeth is no longer between us. The United Kingdom's longest-ruling monarch passed away on September 8. Elizabeth has left a huge legacy behind her that will always be cherished by her family &amp; millions of followers. We all are aware that diamonds and tiaras have always been necessary parts of Queen Elizabeth's life. In her 70 years of rule, Elizabeth has always managed to grab headlines for her intricate and symbolic diamond pieces, whether it was her big&nbsp;bracelet, gifted to her by Prince Philip or her giant Ireland Tiara, and how can we forget her festoon diamond piece.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/queen-elizabeth-live-updates-concerns-mount-over-the-monarchs-health-514190" hreflang="en">Queen's death LIVE updates</a><br />
<br />
But, did you know, among many countless pieces, the one diamond-encrusted necklace&nbsp;that she had always flaunted on many&nbsp;big occasions and in historic portraits, was a very special wedding gift?&nbsp;</p>

<p><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-the-crown-creator-says-the-series-is-a-love-letter-to-queen-elizabeth-ii-to-pause-filming-out-of-respect-514498" hreflang="en">'The Crown' creator says the series is a love letter to Queen Elizabeth II, to pause filming out of respect</a><br />
<br />
The 300-diamond studded necklace that had a special place in her wardrobe&nbsp;was her wedding present from the Nizam of Hyderabad Asaf Jah VII. In 1947, Nizam made sure that Elizabeth should&nbsp;herself select her wedding gift and the platinum necklace was the first thing that&nbsp;grabbed&nbsp;the late monarch's eyes. The platinum neck piece was reportedly made in the 1930s.</p>

<p>The 95-year-old monarch was joined by her youngest son, Prince Edward, at Buckingham Palace on Thursday for the traditional ceremony dressed in a bright orange outfit adorned with the large rose brooch.</p>

Commonwealth Games 2022: Queen Elizabeth II flags off Baton Relay wearing Nizam brooch

<p>AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi on Wednesday lashed out at Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath again over his “Nizam” barb at him, saying Indian Muslims had rejected Muhammad Ali Jinnah’s two-nation theory and he is a citizen of this country “by choice”.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Hyderabad MP was responding to Adityanath’s recent remarks at a rally in poll-bound Telangana that Owaisi would have to “run away” from Hyderabad, just like the Nizam, if the BJP came to power in the state.</p>

<p>“I am number one citizen of India, an equal citizen and I am not a tenant,” Owaisi told reporters at Hyderabad Press Club.</p>

<p>Unlike Yogi, he said, he is an Indian “by choice”.</p>

<p>“We (Indian Muslims) rejected Jinnah’s theory. We always accept that India is our homeland. You cannot treat us as second-class citizens. The BJP’s ideology is to treat Muslims not as equal citizens but as unequal citizens,” the AIMIM chief said.</p>

<p>In an attack on Adityanath on Sunday, Owaisi had said India is his father’s country and no one is running away. Addressing a poll rally here, he had also said Adityanath was speaking the language of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP and that he was ignorant about history.</p>
