Who would have thought that this billionaire didn't want anyone to even know they existed or know who they were? The celebrity life really isn't for everyone and so many people jump into being a celebrity and then absolutely hate the attention.

Things like the billionaires list make it SO much worse because these people are known and their names are out there for everyone to see. It's interesting to hear that there's someone who is a billionaire that we don't know or have never heard of.

With this said, allegedly this person paid $100 million just to stay off the billionaires list and maintain their undercover celebrity status. It's all fun and games but what's interesting is this person might not be the only one that's done this.

With this said, we are going to look into this billionaire that we've "never heard of" and see if we can figure out just why he doesn't want to be known. We can imagine that it has something to do with the crazy, lavish lifestyles that people live when they are rich and the attention that they get.

So if you're interested in hearing more then keep on reading as we give you the details on this particular billionaire.

This is the face of a billionaire who doesn't want anyone to know it.

This Indian billionaire has removed himself from the Forbes billionaire's list, but he has been one to donate more than 60% of his wealth. He is the man behind Jaguar and Land Rover, as well as Air India.

His name is Ratan Tata and he is a businessman and philanthropist. he celebrated his business acumen which propelled the Tata Group to a net worth of $365 billion. Tata led the group as the Chairman from 1990-2012 and now currently holds the Chairman of the Council of Management of the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research as his current title.

He's been one of the more generous billionaires as he's given away a lot of his money.

He's stayed off the billionaire's list because he's given away about $100 billion to various good causes. This is about 65% of his income, which has helped keep his name off that list.

Although he is quite a wealthy man, giving away a lot of his earnings essentially makes him look less wealthy than he is. He's been focused more on his impact by building his businesses, supporting education and technology, and donating to various charities over the years.

Entrepreneur Chinnakannan Sivasankaran has spoken about Tata in the past, saying, “What is so special about Ratan Tata is his selflessness and patriotism. He is a very balanced person, always focused on excellence and the good of the country, unlike me, who is always after money."

He continued, “For him, money is just a byproduct. His objective was always about what he could do for the country, even if it took 20 years. He was planting seeds for the future, like a banana tree. I don’t have that kind of mentality.”

While many wealthy individuals spend millions on personal luxuries, this man exemplifies true selflessness by earning billions and dedicating the majority of it to charities and good causes. Tata’s vision clearly goes beyond just making money—he remains committed to what truly matters.
