India's 40 Richest

India's rising fortunes are underscored by the increasing prosperity of its wealthiest citizens.



Members of our third annual ranking of India's 40 richest businesspeople are worth a collective $170 billion, up from $106 billion last year. India's top 10, worth $112 billion, account for two-thirds of that wealth. The rankings include 36 billionaires, 9 more than last year. India's hot stock market, up 39% this year, and its robust real estate market helped swell most fortunes.

The minimum net worth needed to make the cut rose to $790 million, up from $590 million. More @ Forbes...
