Mukesh Ambani became the richest person in the world surpassing Microsoft chairman Bill Gates and Mexican businessman Carlos slim Helu.
The reason is the strong Indian share market reaching to the 20K mark. The recent bull race in Indian share market making every 1K in around a week as observed by last few months. The net worth of Mukesh Ambani is now $63.2 billion followed by Carlos with $62.29933 billion.
The net worth of Mukesh Ambani’s three companies Reliance industries, Reliance petroleum and Reliance industrial infrastructure is totaling to this asset of $63.2 billion.
Here is the list of Top five richest persons in the world: (Via Business-Standard) 
1. Mukesh Ambani ($63.2 billion)
2. Carlos Slim Helu ($62.2993 billion)
3. William (Bill) Gates ($62.29 billion)
4. Warren Buffett ($55.9 billion)
5. Lakshmi Mittal ($50.9 billion)
Warren Buffet and Lakshmi Mittal were at 3rd and 4th position prior to this list.
Net worth of Anil Ambani (Mukesh Ambani’s brother) and Mukesh Ambani is now $101 billion. Ambani family is now richest family in the world.
As India’s booming economy is the main reason for this asset. But current share market is said to be very unstable and it will be interesting to see for how many days Mukesh will lead this richest list.
I think it was just a wrong calculation. Reliance later on clarified that all above listed three companies do not have share with Mukesh and the total worth is not $63 billion. So Mukesh will be on around 5th or 6th..
wow, that is a whole lot of money for someone to have! Even though the calculation is wrong, I’m betting that more billionaires will be coming from this part of the world in the next 20 years.
india is going to be the richest country
This is great,no problem but Mr.Ambani get ready because i am coming with a big blow and am planning on taking your position

richest persons are the persons who bring poverty in the country .

The country is getting poorer, only politicians and industrialists are becoming millionaires, middle class which has come shall extinct in a few years with the inflation rate. Richer getting richer and poorer getting poorer.
