Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, who’s worth $140 billion, earns $8.9 million (about ₹63 crore) an hour. While Ambani is personally far away from itching close to Bezos, his company Reliance Industries hit ₹10 lakh crore in market cap or around $140 billion, last year.

Its margins, too, improved from 18.3% to 22% after the recent tariff hikes across its 370 million users.

Amazon's Jeff Bezos' personal net worth is as big as RIL — and twice as much as Mukesh Ambani

India added more than three dollar billionaires every month in 2019, taking the tally to 138 that has helped the country to feature at the third position globally, says a report. China and the US occupied the first and second spot with 799 and 626 billionaires, respectively. In total, India got 34 new billionaires to take the count to 138 on the list, topped by Mukesh Ambani of Reliance Industries with USD 67 billion in networth, minting Rs 7 crore every hour, and the number jumps to 170 if Indian-origin billionaires outside the country are tallied. According to the ninth edition of the Hurun Global Rich List 2020, which has a list of 2,817 individuals across the globe having a networth of USD 1 billion or more, the world has added 480 billionaires in 2019, more than one a day, while China added more than three a week and India did more than three billionaires a month. However, according to the report, with 799 China is home to more billionaires than the US (626) and India combined and is set to add many more pharma billionaires this year as the communist nation fights a deadly coronavirus epidemic that has already killed more than 2,710 people since mid-January. There is no surprise that Mumbai is the home to more than a third of the richest individuals in the country with 50 of them living in the megapolis, making it the ninth richest city globally, followed by New Delhi with 30, Bengaluru with 17 and Ahmedabad with 12. With USD 67 billion, Ambani is also the ninth richest in the world which is topped by Jeff Bezos of Amazon with USD 140 billion. The second in the list is SP Hinduja family (USD 27 billion), Gautam Adani (a little over USD 17 billion), Shiv Nadar &amp; family (close to USD 17 billion), and Lakshmi Mittal with over USD 15 billion in networth. At the sixth lot is banker Uday Kotak with a networth of around USD 15 billion, making him the richest self-made banker in the whole world. At the seventh slot is Azim Premji with (USD 14 billion), followed by Cyrus Poonawalla of Serum Institute (USD 12 billion) and Cyrus Pallonji Mistry and his son Shapoor Pallonji with USD 11 billion each. And Oyo founder Ritesh Agarwal, all of just 24 years, is the youngest Indian in the rich list with a networth of USD 1.1 billion. Hurun Report India managing director Anas Rahman Junaid said the Indian billionaires are defying gravity as the deepening slowdown does not seem to hamper their growth. It can be noted that 2019 was a good year for the stock markets globally with the US bourses rallying 26 per cent and Indian and Chinese indices gaining 15 per cent and 14 per cent, respectively in the year. The 50 billionaires of Mumbai control around USD 218 billion of wealth between them, followed by 30 in New Delhi holding USD 76 billion and 17 in Bengaluru are worth USD 42 billion, while the 12 in Ahmedabad are worth USD 36 billion and the seven in Hyderabad are worth USD 13 billion, according to Junaid.

Mukesh Ambani richest Indian, Mumbai has 50 billionaires: Hurun Global Rich List 2020

<ul><li>Even before the coronavirus outbreak, Indian economy has been slowing down which has led <keyword id="390386" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Indian-billionaires">Indian billionaires</keyword> to collectively lose 23% of their net worth. </li><li>Mukesh Ambani is still the richest man in India with a networth of $36.8 billion though he fell to 21st rank from the tenth rank he held earlier, globally. </li><li>The other billionaires who lost wealth include Uday Kotak, Gautam Adani, and Shiv Nadar. Radhakishan Damani and Sunil Bharati Mittal were the only exceptions.</li></ul>The Covid-19 outbreak and slowdown has cost many people their salaries, jobs and much more. Indian billionaires are not immune to it either. Collectively all of India’s 102 billionaires lost $93 billion - or a quarter of their wealth. Indian billionaires are now worth $313 billion as opposed to $406 billion last year - that is 23% lower than what they held last year. “The COVID-19 pandemic was a double whammy for India’s billionaires, whose fortunes had already taken a hit from a slowing economy and falling consumer demand. Even before India went into a total lockdown at the end of March, its stock market had plunged to a three-year low as of March 18, the date we finalized this year’s list,” <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/naazneenkarmali/2020/04/07/indias-10-richest-billionaires-in-2020/#498bb74b7c23">reported Forbes</a>. As all Indian billionaires lost, Mukesh Ambani could retain his title as India’s richest man. But his net worth slumped to $36.8 billion from $50 billion earlier, which made him lose his global ranking. He is now the 21st richest man in the world as opposed to 9th richest man earlier. Many other billionaires including Uday Kotak, Cyrus Poonawalla, and Shiv Nadar lost over a billion dollars each. Radhakishan Damani of DMart and Sunil Bharati Mittal were the only exceptions. Damani is now the second richest man in India. His net worth rose by a quarter to $13.8 billion from $11.1 billion earlier after shares of Avenue Supermarts surged 31% between January 1 and February 18. But slowdown is not the only reason why many billionaires lost their wealth. This number was greatly affected by generosity, and mostly from one person. Tech tycoon <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/india/news/azim-premji-foundation-and-wipro-donate-1125-crore-to-fight-coronavirus-pandemic/articleshow/74927786.cms">and owner of Wipro Azim Premji donated 73% of his wealth</a>, reducing the collective net worth by a substantial amount.
