Reliance Industries chairman Mukesh Ambani has broken into the top 10 richest list globally with a net worth of USD 54 billion, while his younger brother Anil has paled into the oblivion having lost over 65 percent of his net worth, according to a report. The Hurun Global Rich List 2019 is topped by Amazon chief Jeff Bezos for the second year in a row, while the senior Ambani is placed 10th with a network of Rs 3.83 lakh crore, thanks to a rally in RIL shares, which had topped the Rs 8-lakh-crore-mark last month. Ambani owns almost 52 percent in Reliance.

Anil Ambani, held in contempt of court by the Supreme Court last week for not paying up Ericsson Rs 540 crore, has lost over USD 5 billion, from USD 7 billion seven years ago to USD 1.9 billion this year, even though both the brothers got off with more or less same amount of inherited wealth. "Having started off similarly after the break-up of the family wealth, Mukesh added USD 30 billion to his wealth in the past seven years, while Anil has lost over USD 5 billion during the same period," says the Hurun report. The other wealthiest Indians are Hinduja group chairman SP Hinduja with net-worth of USD 21 billion, Wipro chairman Azim Premji is at third with a net worth of USD 17 billion, says the report on released Tuesday.
