Scaling new heights: The Ruia brothers of the Essar Group are ranked at fourth position with a net worth of $15 billion. The IPO of Essar Energy in May, which raised $1.85 billion, was the largest ever listing by an Indian company in London.
According to Forbes, the top four tycoons on the list are worth a combined US$86 billion, short of the $180 billion record they set three years ago, and well shy of the US$150 billion net worth of the four richest Americans.
