Four Indians are among the 10 richest in the world, the highest number from a single country, according to Forbes’ list of world’s billionaires.
While Warren Buffet, the Berkshire Hathaway investor, takes the title of the world’s richest man from Microsoft chief Bill Gates who slips to third place after a 13-year reign at the top, Britain-based industrialist Lakshmi Mittal has climbed one spot from last year to be ranked fourth this year in the US magazine’s annual list of billionaires released on Wednesday. With a net worth of $45 billion, Mittal heads the world’s largest steel maker ArcelorMittal.
Just behind Mittal is Mukesh Ambani at No 5. With a net worth of $43 billion, he is Asia’s richest resident. His fortune is up $22.9 billion since last year, making him the world’s second biggest gainer in terms of dollars. His rank last year was 14.
Mukesh’s estranged brother Anil Ambani is the biggest gainer. He now ranks sixth in the world, climbing 12 places from last year. He gained $23.8 billion over the year and is now worth $42 billion.
KP Singh, chief of real estate developer DLF, has climbed from 62nd place to eighth, helped by his company’s listing which tripled his fortune to $30 billion. He is World’s richest real estate developer.
