Da questo audiolibro è stato tratto il film "The Millionaire" vincitore di ben 8 premi Oscar, 7 British Academy Film Awards e 4 Golden Globe. Colpevole di aver risposto correttamente a tutte e dodici le domande di un quiz televisivo, e di aver vinto un miliardo di rupie, il cameriere diciottenne Ram Mohammad Thomas viene arrestato. Un goffo paria di Mumbai come lui, che non è mai andato a scuola e non legge i giornali, non poteva conoscere le risposte. Per questo i produttori della trasmissione sono convinti che abbia imbrogliato.

Sappna, die als Verkäuferin in einem Elektroladen arbeitet, kann nicht glauben, was ihr der Fremde im Tempel anbietet: Sie soll die Leitung seines millionenschweren Imperiums übernehmen, allerdings muss sie sich vorher sieben Prüfungen unterziehen. Sappna lehnt entrüstet ab, doch dann zwingen sie die Umstände dazu, auf dieses seltsame Angebot einzugehen.

Sapna Sinha is a sales assistant in a TV showroom in New Delhi. As the sole breadwinner in the family, she works hard to support her widowed mother and younger sister Neha. Then billionaire Vinay Mohan Acharya walks into her life and offers to make her the CEO of his global empire. All she has to do is pass seven tests - rites of passage, designed to gauge her mettle as a leader. It seems too good to be true, and Sapna is sceptical. But, in desperate need of money, she signs the contract that will subject her to the series of 'life tests'.

When Ram Mohammad Thomas, an orphaned, uneducated street kid from Mumbai, wins a billion rupees on a live TV quiz show, he finds himself beaten up and thrown in jail by the programme's producers. During his interrogation he explains, through a series of flashbacks, how he knew the answers to all the show's questions. What he describes about his life is jaw-dropping: "You learn a lot about the world by living in it." he says.
