Reliance Industries’ Chairman Mukesh Ambani topped the Forbes’ list of the richest Indians for 2019, a whopping 12th time in a row. According to Forbes, the wealth of Mr Ambani rose to $51.4 billion in 2019.
“Mukesh Ambani remains the richest Indian for the 12th year in a row. He added $4.1 billion to his net worth as Jio, a three-year-old telecom unit of his Reliance Industries, became one of India’s biggest mobile carriers with 340 million subscribers.” Forbes said.
The next in the list is the infrastructure tycoon Gautam Adani, who rose 8 spots. “Adani has ventured into a slew of new businesses from airports to data centres. A $4 billion boost propelled banker Uday Kotak into the top five for the first time. The lower tax rate is expected to boost earnings of his Kotak Mahindra Bank, which saw its shares rise 39% since we last measured fortunes,” the American business magazine wrote.
