List of Indians by net worth
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The following is a list of Indians by net worth. According to the Forbes magazine, India is home to the largest number of billionaires in Asia. The following data from the Forbes India's 40 Richest[1]. There are 54 Indians (Indian Citizens only) in the following list including 14 Billionares who did not make it into top 40.
Methodology: Ranking has been broadened to include family fortunes. For instance, Tulsi Tanti's $10 billion fortune represents his family's entire 70% stake in Suzlon Energy, not his 29% stake that's reflected in the billionaire rankings. Net worths were calculated using Nov. 2nd 2007 market prices and exchange rates. Privately held companies are valued by comparing them to similar publicly traded companies. Besides being rich, one must be an Indian citizen to make this list. As a result, three non-India residents, including Lakhmi Mittal, are included, but construction magnate Pallonji Mistry, Tata Sons' largest shareholder, who has become an Irish citizen, is not.
