’29 LPA, 54% Compounding’: Meerut Man’s Matrimonial Ad Is Trending – News18

A matrimonial ad by a 26-year-old man, who claims to be an investor, from Uttar Pradesh’s Meerut has gone viral. The man claimed that he earns Rs 29 lakh per annum, which is compounding at a rate of 54%. He was not done with his pitch yet. The ‘investor ’ said he is ready to share a 16-slide PowerPoint presentation on safe investments with potential matches.

It begins by mentioning the man as ‘intellectual, handsome and smart’. The ad further asserts that he is self-discovered, self-taught and has made it big with a ‘safe’ way of investing.

The ad, shared on X (formerly Twitter), has of course gone viral and tickled the funny bone of social media users.

Sharing a newspaper cutting of the matrimonial ad, Samit Singh, a former Executive Director at JP Morgan, wrote, “What all bull market does to people. Rough calculations show that he was 10 years old when the 2008 GFC hit us,”

Social media users expressed disbelief over the profit claims, with many quipping that if true, he was already richer than many millionaires. Many also pointed out how the ad has several red flags.

A user commented, “Beware – Probably a phishing attempt! There are several tell-tale red flags!!”

Another humorously mentioned, “59% Compounding – boss this guy will beat Buffett very soon!”

“He might start selling the course on how to increase the net worth by 54% per year,” read a reply.

There was no end to funny comments like this one, “Guess it should be fin-influencer ad sir.”

Yet another user labelled it as “Bull market europhia.”

A few of them decided to turn into fact-checkers. “Someone should ask him to share his Income Tax Return to verify the actual earnings.”

One of the users mentioned that the man was disillusioned and perhaps thought that the bull run in the Indian stock markets would last forever. “He will come to terms with reality, and his annual income growth will be minus 54% instead of plus 54%,” he wrote.
