    If you think money is everything what would you say about this man... He is the only son of Tan Sri Ananda Krishnan (second richest man in Malaysia & Southeast Asia and 89th in the world). He refused opportunity to work with his father to expand his father’s empire (personal fortune more than USD 8 billion) and instead chose the life of a simple Buddhist monk 13 years ago. Until now he follow the path of the Thai forest meditation tradition.

    Tatparanandam Ananda Krishnan is a Malaysian businessman and philanthropist of Sri Lankan Tamil origin. Nicknamed A-K, he is currently estimated to have a net worth of US$9.6 billion according to Forbes' latest annual list of wealthiest people, making him the second wealthiest in Southeast Asia behind Robert Kuok, and number 89 in the world.

    Ananda Krishnan shuns public exposure [4] and is known to maintain a low profile for a person of his stature.
