Forbes India Rich List 2019
In a year that saw an overall decline for listees, some racked up big gains. Mukesh Ambani remains the richest Indian for the 12th year in a row, adding $4.1 billion to his net worth thanks largely to the success of Jio; Gautam Adani jumped eight spots to claim second place; and a $4 billion boost propelled Uday Kotak into the top five for the first time. Even so, more than half the listees saw their net worths fall this year.
