with world’s top retailer Walmart last year, but the company appointed him as
the CEO.
Jain will report to Rajan Bharti Mittal, vice-chairman and managing director,
Bharti Enterprises.
In fact, Jain will not be the first former Walmart India official to join
Bharti Group.
Golf Digest 50 list
World number one Tiger Woods has cracked USD 1.3 billion in career earnings
by leading the Golf Digest 50 with USD 83 million in income last year, the
magazine reported on its website.
Woods, a 14-time major champion, topped the list for the 11th time in its
11-year history with $83,091,508, including an estimated $71 million off the
course and more than $12 million in prize money.
The story says Woods' winnings of more than $155 million reflect less than 12
per cent of his career earnings, with $1.16 billion coming from endorsements
since his pro debut in 1996, a figure that continues to increase even in the
wake of an infamous sex scandal and ensuing divorce.
