Ida Wilde was 83 years-old when she decided to create a Facebook account for herself so that she could better keep in contact with her friends and family. Once she created her account, Ida shared a photo that she only expected her loved ones to see. That’s why she was stunned when she learned that her photo had caught the eye of a multi-millionaire.

The photo shows Ida holding a bouquet of flowers at a wedding. After posting the photo, she received a message from a man she did not know named Asgar Patel.

“Are you Ida Moreland?” he asked her. Ida was shocked that he knew her maiden name! It turns out that Ida had a strange connection with the man that went all the way back to the 1940s.

Asgar was just 6 years-old when he met Ida back in 1947. His family had come to Scotland after the Partition of India, and they boarded with Ida’s family while they were there.

Asgar lived with Ida for five years and became very close to her and her siblings during that time. He was a teenager when he moved back to India and lost touch with Ida and her family. Asgar had spent years searching for them, but he was never able to find the family until he came upon Ida’s Facebook account!

Ida was stunned to see that Asgar had grown into one of the wealthiest men in India! He operates the House of Patel, which is a huge network of transportation and logistic businesses across the country. His net worth is believed to be $615 million, and now that he has found Ida, he wants to share some of this wealth with her!

Ida had no idea that sharing one photo on Facebook would change her life forever!
