This quite came as a shock to me today when I read that there are four Indians among the top 10 richest persons. Below listed are the top 10 most rich people according to Forbes Magazine : -

  1. Warren Buffett (US) -  $62b
  2. Carlos Slim Helu (Mexico) - $60b
  3. Bill Gates (US) - $58b
  4. Lakshmi Mittal (India) - $45b
  5. Mukesh Ambani (India) - $43b
  6. Anil Ambani (India) - $42b
  7. Ingvar Kamprad (Sweden) - $31b
  8. KP Singh (India) - $30b
  9. Oleg Depripaska (Russia) - $28b
  10. Karl Albrecht (Germany) - $27b

In all India has 53 billionaires - the most in Asia and the fourth highest in the world behind the US(469), Russia(87) and Germany(59). I am sure that we will beat Germany soon, haha. The combined wealth of 53 Indian billionaires ($334.6b) is greater than the $284.6b of Germany’s 59 billionaires put together.  Also note that Moscow is the home to most billionaires (74), followed by New York(71) and London(36). Before I end this post, I would like to know your feelings at this moment. Also tell me that how do you feel when you hear 71 billionaires living in the same town. Sounds insane to me.
