Hurun Report has released the Hurun Global Rich List 2020 yesterday. The list has ranked 2,817 billionaires from 71 countries.
According to the list, Jeff Bezos is the world’s richest person despite losing billions to his wife in the divorce settlement and a few billion dollars in one year due to losses.
According to the report released by Hurun Research Institute, India added 34 billionaires to the world and jumped to the third spot in terms of the number of billionaires on the Hurun Global Rich List with 138 billionaires.
“Indian billionaires are defying gravity. The structural slowdown in the economy does not seem to hamper the growth of Indians in the Hurun Global Rich List. The missing pieces in the puzzle are automobile and the real estate sector and we expect exponential wealth creation in those sectors in the coming years,” said Anas Rahman Junaid, Hurun Report India MD and chief researcher.
“If the economy were to grow apace to meet the $5 trillion target, the total wealth creation would at least double the current value,” he added.
