Is this true? Or somebody got the figures wrong?

If true- Excellent!

I'm not sure about the exact lead Mukesh Ambani has over the Gates/Slim. Slim being in 2nd place is just a wee bit richer than Gates.

Either ways,this is quite an impressive standing! Way to go!!

lol

v1p3r · 29th October 2007, 21:51

Yay. I feel richer already.

Mpower · 29th October 2007, 21:52

Just imagine if Mukesh and Anil were together !!! That would be some serious money.

Its usually Bill and Melinda Gates clubbed together.

Well said Bro !!!

No wonder they become so rich !!

And what about the Sensex ?

This is the beauty of the diversity in our great country. On one hand we boast of the richest man, on the otherhand when we also get to see that pavement dwellers.
