India’s richest person Mukesh Ambani falls out of top 10 billionaire
Meanwhile, the chairman of India’s Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) Mukesh Ambani continues to hold the title of both India’s richest person and Asia’s wealthiest person. Currently, he is holding the 9th position in the world’s billionaire list.
The current top 10 billionaire list features eight Americans, one from France, and one from Mexico. French businessman Bernard Arnault tops the list with a net worth of $192 billion.
Though Ambani is out of the world’s 100-billion club, his company has expanded in the telecoms and digital space. With his continued success in business, it remains to be seen whether Ambani will make a comeback to the top five billionaire list and 100-billion club in the future.
