Vijay Mallya wasn't a self-made business tycoon. He was born into three generations of wealth and elite privilege. Grandfather was Lt. Col. Bantwal Ganapathi Mallya - army officer whose "wealth and position" sent father Vittal to The Doon School, India's equivalent of Eton. Father Vittal built massive business empire spanning 60+ companies including United Breweries, McDowell, Kissan, and Cadbury. Vijay attended La Martiniรจre Calcutta and St. Xavier's College - elite institutions. While other students worried about careers, Vijay interned in family businesses with guaranteed succession waiting. "Business empire builder" sounds impressive. Reality? Inherited ready-made conglomerate worth billions at age 28 when father died. Most entrepreneurs struggle to raise initial capital - Vijay inherited India's largest liquor empire. They call him "King of Good Times." And he did inherit his throne. The Three-Generation Tycoon didn't build an empire he inherited one and then squandered it.
