The hands of Mark Cuban, the American billionaire entrepreneur and investor, speak volumes. The shape of his hand, the mounts, the fingers or the lines on his palm – all tell us a story. However, there's a lot about this man which remains hidden because for all his appearance of being open and outspoken, he is at heart, a loner.

Mark’s hand shape is quite good: the palm is broad and it’s balanced with the length of the fingers. The fingers are the correct length, neither too long or too short. A similar balance is seen with the phalanges of his fingers as well. Whether it's the first, second or third phalanges, they are neither too long nor too short. His fingers too are all of normal length although the Jupiter (index) finger is low-set, but it is normal in length. 

However, the third phalanges are a little thick except for

George Soros - philanthropic with an agenda

George Soros the billionaire is known to be brilliant, influential and a philanthropist. He is an open supporter of progressive policies and has also been the target of conspiracy theories, many of which have been debunked.

His hand has a broad, fleshy palm with medium length fingers. The mounts of Venus, Moon, Jupiter and Mars are the most well-developed mounts on his hand. In fact most of the mounts on his hand are developed. The lower (third) phalanges of his fingers, the second phalange of the thumb and the lower part of his hand are a little thick. His fingers are balanced in length although the Jupiter finger is low-set. The thumb is low-set as well.

He has fine lines. The heartline is more or less straight and does not reach the Jupiter mount and the headline is long, sloping, and ends on the moon mount.

This hand tells us that George Soros is a clear-thinking, perceptive,

Sam Altman – an altruistic man for whom the sky is the limit

Sam Altman, said to be at "the frontier of discovery," was fired as the Chief Executive of OpenAI, for alleged breach of trust, and then hired again. No one is exactly sure why, although there are rumours about him being sacked due to safety concerns of the new AI technology. The company has denied these rumours. Only an investigation will reveal the truth, although

The hands of Gautam Adani

According to Wikipedia, Gautam Adani is said to be the third richest man in the world, and Asia's richest. 

His personality has been described by many as visionary, risk-taking, hard-working, persuasive, and philanthropic. Needless to say, he also has a lot of business sense, otherwise, he wouldn’t be where he is today.

Does his hand corroborate these qualities in his character? If yes, what else does his hand tell us about his personality?

Kylie Jenner – driven but delicate

Wikipedia describes Kylie Jenner as an “American media
personality, socialite, and businesswoman.” She is also the "second-most-followed person on Instagram". That’s pretty intense! 

Kylie gives the impression of being a strong, driven personality. However, while her hand shows her to be driven, it does not show her to be a strong person.

What is most striking about Kylie Jenner’s hand is that her palm lines are faint as compared to the size and shape of her hand. Her hand is slightly long, with a longish palm and fingers. The mounts on her hands are not very well developed, though the Jupiter and the Lower Moon mount are relatively better developed. Her fingers are slim, with pads on the tips (referred to as sensitive tips in palmistry), and the middle phalanges of her fingers are slim and waisted. The Jupiter (index) finger has a pronounced conic tip and could also well be a little shorter than normal. The first phalanges of Kylie’s fingers are long, particularly that of the Mercury (little) and Apollo (ring) fingers. The second phalanges of her finger are average, not significantly long. She has a slim, shapely thumb,

Shehbaz Sharif - Businessman and Politician

Shehbaz Sharif is a smart man, a capable personality, with great communication ability, which includes non-verbal communication. Such people are good at reading others, and yes, are able to get things out of them. Sharif is shrewd, and eloquent, with a good understanding of how money works. It is not surprising that this man has succeeded in both politics and business.

His hand has fingers which are on the shorter side, and a palm which is slightly longish, but not too long. His mounts are overall developed, except for perhaps the Saturn mount. It is not that common to find the Apollo mount developed, and it is so in his case. Sharif has a good Saturn (Fate) line as well, which starts at the base of the hand and goes up to the mount which shows

Shiv Nadar's hands show a clear headed thinker

The most striking aspect about Shiv Nadar’s hands is his dark, deeply etched lines. There aren't too many lines either. Also significant are his long Apollo (ring) and Mercury (little) fingers. Other hand features include a broad palm, well-developed mounts of Moon, Lower Mars, Jupiter and Venus and good first and second phalanges of the fingers. The thumb is a good length and the first and second phalanges are balanced. There is a good balance between the length of the fingers and the palm as well.

Shiv Nadar’s heart and head lines do not appear to be very long although they seem to have lighter extensions. Without seeing these clearly, it is difficult to draw conclusions about this aspect. Nadar's headline is considerably tied to the lifeline. The Sun/Apollo line is not as prominent as the main lines, busting the myth that

The hands of Elon Musk

Elon Musk’s hands were not a surprise but it never fails to amaze me when a hand fits well into what is already known about the person. Yes, sometimes, hidden personality traits are revealed by the hand. That’s the case here too, at least to some extent, but largely this hand fits him. 

It’s a typical hand of an entrepreneur. However, his emotional self (as revealed by the hand) is not typical. There is a tendency to stereotype entrepreneurs/inventors as perhaps not so people-oriented or with not-so-great social skills. Elon Musk is

Arnab Goswami – what lies behind his television persona?

Arnab Goswami has made a name for himself with a flamboyant type of journalism, heading/owning as he does two of the most popular channels in India, of the Republic stable. There are critics galore but then there are devoted fans too. 

One wonders what makes the man who he is. Shouting and being rude is a part and parcel of his grandiose television persona and at times the “debates” get so heated as to sound almost deranged. Some feel that Arnab is not altogether sane…well, his hands tell us otherwise! 

The shape of his hand is normal, in the sense that he has a rectangular palm and medium-length fingers, tapering at the end. All of his lines – the head, heart and life – are well etched, although the heartline with its large fork dominates. The headline is clearly separated from the lifeline and is very high. Not only does it start high (at the base of the mount of Jupiter) it keeps going higher (not so common at all) and remains in this high position till around the time it reaches the ring finger. This narrows the space between the head and heart lines. It’s not too dissimilar on the left, passive hand. The Fate or Saturn line, though deep at the start,

Kim Kardashian is not your regular airhead

One would have expected that Kim Kardashian’s hands would be that of a superficial, vain and artificial person. Instead, I found myself looking at the hands of a down-to-earth, savvy woman. Considering her high net worth, this wasn't surprising.

Kim Kardashian, a reality TV star from the United States, has normal-sized hands, with a good balance of the fingers and the palm. The Venus mount is developed and so is the middle part of the Moon mount. None of the mounts on her palm is excessively developed and her head and heart lines are long and in their proper place on the palm, neither set too low nor too high. The thumb is normal length and the will phalange is good, although the thumb is held close to her palm and could be a little high-set. The fingers are broad but the first and second phalanges are of a good length. She has a long Mercury (little) finger which is slightly bent, a short Saturn (middle) finger and a slightly bent Jupiter (index) finger.

All these signs reveal a person who is clever, calculating and

Mukesh Ambani's hand reading

Mukesh Ambani's personality can be seen from his hands to some extent. He has large palms with fingers on the shorter side. The first and second phalanges of his fingers are all long, significantly so. 

The thumb is of a good length, although supple, and the top phalange is long. The lines of his hand are fairly clear too, with the heartline long and reaching the Jupiter mount and the headline appears to be forked. The lifeline stops halfway but restarts later, although the latter cannot be verified because of a lack of good photos of the hand.

There is no doubt that Mukesh Ambani’s intellectualism, energy, and business acumen are significantly above average.

Unfortunately, there are no photographs of Ambani’s left, passive hand which would have revealed his inherited personality and also served as a comparison to his right hand. Considering that Mukesh Ambani is Dhirubhai’s son, we must assume that

The hand reading of Jack Ma

Jack Ma, the Chinese businessman, has an interesting hand, the kind which could baffle some hand readers because Ma does not have strong, well-etched lines. Strong lines show a strong, clear-headed and focused personality so does this mean that Ma is not a strong personality? This cannot be because Jack Ma is the founder of the Alibaba group and he is not just a businessman with a high net worth (over 4000 crore or 39.1 billion USD) but also a politician and philanthropist.

Without strong lines on his hands, how did Jack Ma take Alibaba to such great heights? Well, for one thing, all his lines are not weak. The fateline on his hand is not very clear, not visible in the photos on the internet. Possibly, he does have a clear but thin fateline, not as dark as the other main lines. Considering Ma's success, one would have expected a stronger fateline. And as for the headline, it is by no means a superior one, although it is better on the right active hand – which shows that he is a self-made man. One can call it an average headline. The heartline and lifeline appear to be good though, well shaped and dark, and perhaps these compensate for the other lines.

His hand shape is good. Long, slim

Mark Zuckerberg's hand reading

Mark Zuckerberg, the young technology billionaire entrepreneur has a good set of hands – broad palms, longish fingers, and a strong thumb with a good balance of both phalanges. What can we know about his personality from reading his hands? 

The phalanges of all his fingers are well balanced. He has sensitive pads at the tips of his fingers (an unusual sign for a businessman) and a slightly short Jupiter (index) finger. He has good Apollo (ring) and Mercury (pinky) fingers, with the latter slightly bent.

It is difficult to see the palmar lines, but from whatever little is visible from the photos on the web,

Is Donald Trump a bigot?

Some people may love Donald Trump, the potential Republican nominee for the US President, but others call him a bigot and a racist. (Update: Donald Trump went on to become the President of the US. 

This post is not about Trump’s chances of winning the Republican nomination, leave alone his chances of becoming the next President of the United States. This is about what his hands tell us. Is he really the racist bigot that he is accused of being?

Trump’s palms are broad, but the hands are small, and he has a thick palm, short fingers (some bent), long lines, and a supple, waisted thumb all of this tells us a story and a very revealing one! The mounts of Venus, Moon and Jupiter are heavily developed and the Mars mounts developed too, though a little less. The lifeline sweeps across the palm, the headline is gently sloping, and the heartline goes up in a curve, reaching the area in between the first two fingers.

Trump’s lines are quite good, and although fairly clear, they are not very dark. However, they do show capability, intelligence, and a good heart. It is not surprising that he is a businessman because not only is he smart and shrewd, he is aggressive, ambitious, and quite the go-getter. Other hand features show some not-so-desirable characteristics. His thumb is supple and conic, with a strong first phalange, and the heartline is a little too strong. His fingers are mostly bent, with the Jupiter (index finger) low-set and possibly a little short, and the Mercury (little) finger standing apart from the rest. The fingers have rounded tips.

His hand tells us that he is a very passionate, energetic and emotional man, and quite excitable and impulsive too. He is warm and giving and yes, and capable of compassion as well although he is likely to be ruled by the emotions and there is insecurity in the personality. 

Donald Trump’s hands do not show him to be a narrow-minded bigot. On the contrary, his hands show

Robert Vadra's Hand Reading

People have wondered what the good-looking scion of India’s first political family (Priyanka Gandhi) found in a common citizen like Robert Vadra. What was it about his personality which attracted her? Perhaps the hand can give us some clues.

Vadra’s hand is fleshy, with developed mounts of Venus, Moon and Jupiter. The headline is slightly high-set and a little sloping but more straight than sloping. The ring finger is a little bent, and the middle or second phalanges (the partitions on the fingers) are good. The tips are rounded but the Jupiter (index) fingertip and the Mercury (little) fingertip is conic. The thumb is a good length and looks stiff and the first phalange of the thumb is good. The Mercury (little) finger is long.

His hand shows a distinct impressionability and this does not make him a bad person but it does explain why he was drawn to Priyanka. In an Outlook article, Priyanka claimed her husband does not get carried away by anything, but it is difficult to believe that!

The long ring fingers of Sharad and Ajit Pawar

It is common to see similar hand characteristics in parents and children, and at times even between grandchildren, nephews and nieces. Fingerprints can also be of similar shapes although actual details are different. This similarity is reflected in the personality traits which are often shared by family members.

It was interesting to note a similarity in the hands of Sharad Pawar and his nephew Ajit Pawar (elder brother’s son). This similarity lies in the formation of their Jupiter and Apollo fingers (index and ring fingers). In the hands of both these men, the Apollo or ring finger is longer than their Jupiter or index finger and it is nearer in length to the Saturn (middle) finger. 

The secret of Oprah's success as shown by her hands

The striking aspect of Oprah Winfrey's hand are her deeply etched and clear lines which are in balance with the shape and texture of her hand. This balance is critical when it comes to overall personality balance. 

The major features of her hand (which reveal Oprah's personality characteristics) besides her strong lines, are her evenly set fingers of normal length (relative to each other) except for her Mercury(pinky) finger and thumb, both of which are long, although the Mercury finger is a little low-set. These hand features are also critical to analysing a person's character if one is using palmistry. Often, they play a significant role in an individual's eventual success.

Oprah's palm lines tell us of an extraordinarily

What Anil Ambani's hands tell us

Anil Ambani is one of the most well-known businessmen in India and is from a famous business family. He used to be one of the most successful businessmen in India, widely believed to be a cunning one. His hand does show a personality with business ability, but something obviously went wrong. 

Warren Buffet's hand reading

Everyone knows that Warren is the smartest investor out there, and that he is also a philanthropist. His money-making talent is glaringly obvious in his personality as revealed by his hand, but his philanthropy is not, unlike the hand of Bill Gates.

Buffet’s hand is fleshy, the mounts well developed, and he has strong, long lines deeply etched on his broad palm. His fingers are on the shorter side, his thumb a little low-set and large, and the Apollo (ring) and Mercury (little) fingers are longer than normal, particularly the Apollo finger. These signs give us a clue as to how and why

Julian Assange's hands reveal that he is not a predator!

Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks has said he is a gentleman, not a predator. I assume he means sexual predator, something he has been accused of. Does his hand corroborate his claim? Well, certain features of his hand like the underdeveloped Plain of Mars, the refined palmar skin, the slightly waisted thumb, the shape and length of his phalanges and sensitive tips do suggest that he is the gentleman he says he is. 

The other signs on his hand a developed mounts of Venus, Moon and Jupiter and also Upper Mars. The heartline is very slightly curved, not too much, and with a small fork at the end. The headline is more or less straight, slightly wavy and joined with the lifeline at the start. Even if it is long, it seems fainter at the end. Overall, the lines on his hand are very fine. The Apollo (ring) finger is dominant and the Jupiter finger is a little curved with a conic tip. The Saturn (middle) finger appears to have a spatulate tip.

Nothing on his hand suggests that he has either high passions or is crude or violent. If anything,
