Forbes names India’s richestBusiness
Forbes magazine
released its inaugural list of India’s 40 wealthiest businessmen, with half of
the entrants hailing from the nation’s burgeoning technology and pharmaceutical
sectors.
Topping the list with $11.2 billion is London-based steel magnate Lakshmi Mittal, who holds 88% of Mittal Steel. The company will become the world’s largest manufacturer of steel following their acquisition of rival International Steel.
Other facts of note:
- Nineteen created their fortunes from scratch
- Eleven made their money in technology
- Nine made their fortunes in pharmaceuticals
- Forty percent live in Bombay
- Two Patels made the list, which means I will spend this weekend digging through the family tree.

That is 23.57 more than me, my friend. Cherish it.
