Mukesh Ambani is now the richest person in the world courtesy bull run in Indian Stock market. He has surpassed American software czar Bill Gates, Mexican business tycoon Carlos Slim Helu and famous investment guru Warren Buffett.

Mukesh Ambani lead group of companies (Reliance Industries, Reliance Petroleum and Reliance Industrial Infrastructure) net worth is now about $63.2 billion (Rs 2,49,108 crore). This race of riches is very close, here is how top 3 stands today:

• 1. Mukesh Ambani ($63.2 billion)
• 2. Carlos Slim Helu ($62.2993 billion)
• 3. Bill Gates ($62.29 billion)

Can he tumble from here? Mukesh got to this position with Sensex crossing the 20000-mark and doing better and better. A bit of drop in Indian Stock market will tumble Mukesh Ambani’s position from being world’s richest person.

Hmm… very close for the comfort. However, he surely can bask in the glory for the moment. What say? [via - business-standard - image]
