Amar Singh Donated $1million to $5million to Clinton Global Initiative

Clinton Global Initiative today released the list of donors who had donated money to to his charitable organization. The list of donors included the who's who of the world including the political figures, royalty and businessman.

The list also included some familiar faces from India including Amar Singh, the Samajwadi Party general secretary and a Member of Parliament. His humble contribution to the Clinton Foundation, $1 million to $5million.

Recently Mr Amar Singh in filing his nominations papers for the Rajya Sabha elections declared assets worth Rs 37 Crore or about $7 million. This is in addition to the $1million to $5 million he donated to the Clinton foundation.

Now my question is this: How is it that Mr Amar Singh seemed to have amassed wealth to the tune of $12 million on a meager salary of a Member of Parliament?
