The scions of Reliance Industries Akash Ambani and Anant Ambani have topped the maiden 360 ONE Wealth creators list with a wealth of ₹3.59 lakh crore each.

Isha Ambani features third on the list with wealth of ₹3.58 lakh crore followed by Adani brothers Vinodbhai, Gautambhai and Rajesh Adani with assets of ₹2.72 lakh crore, ₹2.48 lakh crore and ₹2.16 lakh crore, respectively.

Mukesh Ambani ranks 348 with personal wealth of ₹4,730 crore, according to 360 ONE Wealth report in partnership with Crisil Intelligence.

The list, which takes into account individuals with a minimum net worth of ₹500 crore as of last June, has 2,013 wealth creators with a combined net worth of about ₹100 lakh crore, equivalent to one-third of the country’s GDP.

About 161 individuals in the list are worth over ₹10,000 crore each, while 169 individuals are worth between ₹5,000 crore and ₹10,000 crore. Family members and promoters belonging to the Tata Group, Reliance Industries and Adani Group alone account for 24 per cent of promoter wealth, estimated at ₹36 lakh crore.

Top 50 biz houses

The top 50 business houses account for 59 per cent of the overall wealth tracked on the 360 ONE Wealth Creators List. Reliance Industries and Adani Enterprises alone control 12 per cent of the total wealth. Beyond the ₹100-lakh crore net worth of India’s wealthiest lies another ₹50 lakh crore of wealth in trusts (₹15 lakh crore) and corporate entities (₹35 lakh crore) that are part of promoter holdings.

One-third of the total wealth of ₹150 lakh crore is held through a complex web of trusts and other entities. Among them, Sir Dorabji Tata Trust and Sir Ratan Tata Trust emerge as the largest trusts holding about ₹8.2 lakh crore cumulatively.

The median wealth of men stood at ₹1,475 crore, 22 per cent higher than women, whose median wealth is at ₹1,215 crore.

Karan Bhagat, founder MD & CEO, 360 ONE said when it comes to average wealth, women who have inherited their wealth are 23 per cent richer than their male counterparts as those with a net worth of ₹10,000 crore, notably Mukesh Ambani and Shiv Nadar, have been more equitable in transferring their wealth among their male and female heirs, as compared to the owners of mid-cap and small-cap businesses.

Digital leverage

A majority of India’s first-generation entrepreneurs under the age of 40 have attained wealth by leveraging the digital economy to disrupt traditional business models.

A remarkable 60 per cent of their wealth comes from sectors such as broking and investment platforms (such as Upstox and Zerodha), e-commerce solutions (Urban Company, Swiggy and Honasa Consumer), edtech (Physicswallah and Unacademy), and fintech (like Stashfin, Slice and Onecard).
