Indian Billionaire to Be World’s Richest Man by 2014
400,000 SQ FEET!!!!! WTF KINDA HOUSE IS THAT, DAMN!!!! Forget Bill Gates, Warren Buffet and Carlos Slim: in four years’ time the world’s richest man will be Indian commodity king Mukesh Ambani (above), Forbes predicts in a new special report on the coming decade in finance and economics. The magazine estimates that Ambani’s fortune will have swelled to $62 billion by 2014, outpacing the rest of the contenders, including current world’s richest man Carlos Slim who’s currently worth $53.5 billion. Mexico‘s Slim, who’s made some risky investments including a large stake in the struggling New York Times, will be “hit hard by Mexican political and financial chaos,” Forbes predicts. Ambani, 53, is currently the fourth richest man in the world with a fortune of $29 billion. He is the owner of Antilia, a 27-floor building in Mumbai which includes his family’s private residence of 400,000 square feet, making it the world’s first billion-dollar home and the largest private home in the world.
