#11 India Rich List 2013
Anil Ambani is back in business with his older brother Mukesh (India's richest person) 8 years after nasty split resulted in divvying up the family assets. In June his debt-laden telecom arm Reliance Communications struck a $2.1 billion deal to lease telecom towers to Mukesh's Reliance Jio Infocomm, which is preparing to roll out 4G services. In August he and his wife, Tina, were summoned by a special court to depose as witnesses in a case involving the improper allocation of 2G telecom licenses; case is ongoing. Reliance Power commissioned the first phase of a long-delayed project in Madhya Pradesh state. His Reliance-DreamWorks Studios' JV with Steven Spielberg won 2 Academy Awards for Lincoln in February; it is also producer of The Fifth Estate, a film about WikiLeaks' Julian Assange.
