    Yes, I wish the money they lost on stocks -if they sold it earlier and given to poorer Indians it would have been much better. All the money just vanished in thin air.

    Indian seem to be the biggest losers in the list. We had 2 in the top 10, last year and none this year. In top 25, we have only 2. Is it a reflection of our sagging stock markets or a better income distribution?
