I just saw this on another website this morning...

There is something very intresting in this.

Mukesh Ambani and Anil Ambani are BROTHERS! .. But the sad part is, that they are at a fight at each other, and havent spoke to others in years... (thats what my friend told me)

Imagine of both of them combine their wealth? They would be the strongest family on the planet.

 

It's sick so much wealth is attributed to so few people.

 

Makes me wish I was an Indian.

 

It is glad that the Indians indeed grabbed four spots in the top 10 positions as per the Forbes billionaires list. The irony is that India still continues to be the land of poor and farmers committing suicides and hunger deaths are a common place. The need of the hour is social justice and equitable distribution of wealth to one and all. Only then, I will hold my head high in proud and tell every one that I am an "INDIAN"

 

Congradulations for indians

 

You sound like a proud marxist or communist !!

 

mukesh and anil ambani have grown their wealth many fold only after their split.so i think spilt is working for them.

 

Salute to Dhiru Bhai Ambani..
Who gave two talented children to india Anil and Mukesh Ambani to Build india better..
Congrats to Both..
Imagine if they merge..

 

Congrats for you Indians on that.

 

read my sig there are no shit for you to be proud

 

Yep I read it in TOI yesterday, weird to see Bill Gates at rank 3

 

Great news !!!
But I am not very surprised......... Indian are really going high in all fields. Now its a big treat to china.

 

congratulations...
watch out for the china billionaire they will come next year and will be among the biggest exporter and market controller

 

Interesting to see Bill Gates down to 3rd place.

I would imagine being a billionaire in India would be like being a trillionaire in the US as India's a lot cheaper to live in! They've done great to build themselves up to that status.

 

sounds nice though.... i guess warren buffest wud slide down a few if both reliance brothers step in together..

 

Well this list is calculated on the last month end when Indian Markets are down and also Goverments introduce new Tax format. So Both Ambani Brothers lost the position. If Markets gone towrads 22k than Mukesh once again go top.

 

Great to see that.. Read the complete story yesterday.
I too always wonder if both of them were united, India would have been in the top.
