In 2014: The Richest Man of Earth will be an Indian

Believe it or not. If the predictions made by Forbes Magazine become correct, by 2014 the richest man on earth will be an Indian. And who can be him?

Well none other than Mukesh Ambani, the chairman of Reliance Industries, who incidentally is already the India’s richest man. Currently, Ambani, 53, ranks in fourth place on the world’s billionaires’ list.

Richest Man on Earth : In 2014 ?

Here is what the Forbes Team has said:

“One of the predictions is that Reliance Industries’ chief Ambani, who currently has a net worth of $29 billion, pips the world’s richest man Mexican businessman Carlos Slim to top Forbes’ rich list in 2014,”

Ambani’s net income would swell to $62 billion against Slim, which is facing political, financial chaos in Mexico.

This is a  vision of the coming decade sketched from real data, projections and facts whenever possible – though we’ve injected a dose of rigorous science fiction to fill the gaps,”

Forbes said about its special 2020 report called ‘What Happens Next — Our Look Ahead’.
