Seth Abid Hussain (1933 – 8 January 2021)[3] was a Pakistani billionaire and gold merchant philanthropist.[4][5][6][7]
It is said that when the US government banned Pakistan from importing nuclear reprocessing plants, it was Hussain who delivered them to Pakistan from France by sea. Also, when Pakistan gained independence in 1947, they lacked finances, Abid was then requested confidentially by the government of Pakistan to smuggle gold which he later revealed was in the form of cars made of gold, hence his title.[8][9] His net worth in 2017 was estimated to be around 3 billion dollars. He was nicknamed "The King of Gold" in Pakistan.[10]
