Who joined the ‘club’
The “US$100 billion club” list came with five new features, compared to last year’s edition: Mukesh Ambani, Indian tycoon, Amancio Ortega, Spanish businessman, Steve Ballmer, former CEO of Microsoft, Michael Bloomberg, founder of Bloomberg LP, and Carlos Slim, Mexican businessman.
Ambani, with US$116 billion, and Spanish businessman Amancio Ortega, with US$103 billion, were included in this select list of billionaires in positions number 9 and 13, respectively. Ballmer, Bloomberg and Slim came in 8th, 12th and 14th positions.
According to Forbes, Ambani became the first Asian member of the $100 billion wealth club this year. This would have happened thanks to the appreciation of the shares of his conglomerate, Reliance Industries.
