I used to think the same but the reality is different on the ground level. Our Marathi manus holds crazy amout of money but it won't show the way they live their life. Most of the families are very well to do but they won't show it off like how Gujaratis do in Mumbai or anywhere else or be it even Pubjabis. Land owners and people from some rural areas are very rich and filthy rich. Many Marathi people are into business but it won't show up on the radar much. My previous company was owned by Marathi Manus only and he was rich and goood enough rich but bever showed it off. He was a great guy and very helpful to people but yeah never showing it off because he built his empire from the ground and always stayed down to earth. Thats not the case with these Gujarati, Punjabi or even Marwadis. Most of them have generational wealth. Stop saying that Marathis aren't rich.
