Mansour Al Ruqaya said he had made more than SR35 million (Dh35 million) in shares. (Sada)
A Saudi man who left his work in a hospital morgue after making a fortune in stock trading returned to work with the dead after losing all his money in the 2006 bourse collapse in the Gulf Kingdom, a newspaper reported on Tuesday.
Mansour Al Ruqaya said he had made more than SR35 million (Dh35 million) in share dealing in the oil-rich Kingdom from only SR35,000 he started with.
“I left my work at the morgue and started to trade in stocks. I became broke in a few days after the 2006 bourse collapse,” he told ‘Sada’ newspaper.
“I returned to work in the morgue and to be honest, seeing all those bodies made me forget all my problems. I have now decided to leave this job again and go into business. I have just set up a perfume company.”
