  Chotika Setthi

 

Thailand

Chotika Setthi is a legendary figure known as the wealthiest individual in ancient Rajagrha, symbolizing boundless merit and generosity. His wealth comes from spiritual virtue, not material pursuit. When King Ajatasattu tries to seize his riches, Chotika renounces them and attains Arahantship, embodying the Buddhist ideal that true wealth lies in merit and moral virtue, not possessions.
