Number # 8

Malik Riaz Hussain


Net worth: $1.1 billion

Industry:   Real Estate

Malik Riaz, known for his housing projects Bahria Town, ranks 8th in the top-ten list of people in Pakistan. To my surprise, Malik Riaz has jumped from 9th in early 2014 to 8th position (correct me if  you think the last year's position is incorrect), which shows that his housing projects are still a good investment despite some of the news media outlets running non-stop commentary against him (I keenly watched Dr Shahid Masood's verbal attacks on Malik Riaz).
                                                  Most importantly, Malik Riaz has shown his other side to the public in recent interview to news channels as he said he is an avid social worker helping tens of thousands of needy people of Pakistan.
