He doesnt run the TV channel neither he owns any.
The TV one is a private channel run and owned by a man who was earlier runing Shalimar TV or STN (that was i guess if im not wrong was the first in private sector in Pakistan when i was in school)
BT biz doesnt offer gold. It was an idea floated by one of the team member. Nothing is yet practical. Eevn if the project sometimes in future is taken it would be in cooperation with some entities, rather may be provided by the goldsmiths and Brasstacks only will be facilitator and not the seller.
All the money he earns from the TV shows, security consultancy and other corporate projects mostly goes to pay the salaries of the employees at the Think Tank (Brasstacks), paying bills of the Think Tank office, from same money he runs his house, pay rent of house and office building, helps his parents.
And a large chunk goes for helping the needy (Sorry sir Zaid for disclosing this line but i have too)
And trust me at the end of the month his purse is empty. He doent save a penny for future. Thats how ghani people do.
May Allah, God Bless Zaid Hamid.
