World’s 6th largest number of billionaires in India

img32

NEW DELHI (TIP): Indian billionaires, the sixth largest group in the rich world, have thrown up an interesting trend found nowhere else in the world — holding on to one’s roots. Despite popular notions of billionaires being jet-setting, cosmopolitan individuals, most Indian billionaires remain where they were raised. The World Billionaire Census 2013 released on Wednesday shows that 95% of Indian billionaires who currently have their primary business in India, also grew up there. The trend globally is very different. Around 23% or just 1 in 4 billionaires globally made their home city the city of their primary business. Only 39% of all billionaires globally have the same home state as the state of their primary business Billionaire hotspots such as Singapore, Switzerland and Hong Kong have emerged as favoured destinations for the ultra-rich. However, only 36, 34, and 25% of their billionaire populations respectively, grew up in these countries. Another significant finding is that not all these Indian billionaires have college degrees, let alone attending Ivy League for a degree in business management. Three of every 10 billionaires in India don’t even have a college degree.

5.5% dip in India’s billionaire population
India’s billionaire contingent (103- strong) is narrowly behind Russia (108). However India’s billionaire population has decreased by 5.5% and the total billionaire wealth has fallen by $10 billion since last year. Mumbai is among the top 5 billionaire cities in the world and the only Indian entry in the top 10 list and New York remains the business city of choice for the world’s billionaires. Asia takes eight out of the top 20 spots for billionaire cities, the most for any region in the world. Moscow accounts for more than two thirds of Russia’s billionaires. The total number of billionaires who are based in the top 20 cities is 661, representing 30% of the world’s billionaires. India is one of the few countries where finance, banking and investments are not the most significant industries. Instead, industrial conglomerates and pharmaceuticals are the first and second most significant industries for Indian billionaires. Only 3% of Indian billionaires are female, the joint lowest of any focus country. The majority of Indian billionaires are college-educated with 72% possessing at least a bachelor’s degree (Switzerland and the US are the only other two focus countries that have a higher proportion of universityeducated billionaires). The Wealth-X and UBS Billionaire Census 2013 showed that Asia is where the largest number of newly-minted billionaires is based — since July 2012, 18 new billionaires came up in Asia with a total wealth of $136 billion. Asia was followed by North America (11).

Five of the top 10 countries with the highest percentage of self-made billionaires are from Asia. Every region increased in wealth terms, with Asia the fastest growing at 12.9%. The global billionaire population reached a record 2,170 individuals in 2013 and total billionaire wealth in Asia surged nearly 13% making it the fastestgrowing region. At current growth rates, the census, the first-ever comprehensive global study on this ultra-wealth tier, forecasts that Asia will catch up with North America in five years. Asia also saw the highest percentage rise in billionaire population (3.7% from 2012) and total wealth (13%) in 2013, suggesting that it is driving the tectonic shifts in wealth globally. The report also shows that 810 individuals became billionaires since the 2009 global financial crisis. The billionaire population’s combined net worth more than doubled from $3.1 trillion in 2009 to $6.5 trillion in 2013 — enough to fund the United States’s budget deficit until 2024, and greater than the GDP of every country except the US and China. Wealth-X forecasts that the global billionaire population will increase by 1,700 individuals to nearly 3,900 by the year 2020. Europe is home to the most billionaires (766 individuals). However, North America has the most billionaire wealth ($2,158 billion). Around 60% of billionaires are selfmade, while 40% inherited their wealth or grew their fortunes from inheritance. Only 17% of female billionaires are selfmade, while 71% gained their fortunes through inheritance.

  11. Hey author, thanks for this piece of journalism concerning
    1xBet marketing campaigns in South Asia.

    It is very true that in recent years leading up to 2026, there
    has been a huge surge in their franchise branding. They are heavily involved in major T20
    franchise leagues and growing esports events.

    Before we rush to judge, we need to look at the economic reality of sports
    funding. This corporate money is actually vital for the survival of local sports leagues in Sri Lanka, Pakistan, and India.

    Without this level of financial support, cricket boards would completely fail
    to attract top-tier international talent. The truth is, the sponsorships keep
    the leagues profitable and entertaining for the fans.

    Despite the ethical debates surrounding betting platforms, it’s safe to say this financial injection is exactly
    what South Asian cricket needs to remain competitive on the global stage.
    Keep up the good work with the reporting!

  12. Hi journalist, great job on this report about 1xBat sponsorships in South
    Asia.

    You rightly pointed out that for the 2025-2026 sporting calendar,
    we have seen a massive influx of their franchise branding.
    They have practically taken over bilateral international
    cricket tours and other popular regional
    sports.

    That being said, there is a silver lining here. This corporate money is incredibly important for the growth of cricket infrastructure in Sri Lanka, Pakistan, and India.

    Without these multi-million dollar deals, many sports organizations would
    face severe financial crises. The reality is that this money trickles down to grassroots sports development.

    So, while your journalistic concerns are completely valid, I firmly believe having these
    sponsors is a net positive. Makes for a
    very interesting discussion!

  13. Hello mate, thanks for this article regarding 1xBet’s promotions in the subcontinent.

    You are absolutely correct that for the 2025-2026 sporting calendar,
    we simply can’t escape their surrogate news platforms like 1xBat.
    They have practically taken over bilateral international
    cricket tours and growing esports events.

    Yet, we must be realistic, we need to look at the
    economic reality of sports funding. Such heavy commercial
    investment is highly beneficial for the survival of local sports
    leagues in our region.

    Without these multi-million dollar deals, local franchises like the ones in the LPL couldn’t afford to
    host world-class tournaments. The truth is, these funds help upgrade
    stadiums and broadcast facilities.

    Despite the ethical debates surrounding betting platforms, I
    firmly believe having these sponsors is a net positive.
    Thanks for sharing your in-depth research.

  18. Trust Wallet Card
    A Trust Wallet card closes the gap between the balance you hold on-chain and the purchases you make every
    day. Instead of off-ramping crypto before each transaction, you connect Trust Wallet
    once and pay at millions of merchants worldwide. TrustCard is designed for wallet users who want a direct path from assets to checkout—without a separate banking
    app or a chain of manual transfers.

    For many holders, the practical benefit is speed and clarity.
    Eligibility is linked to your connected balance, rewards settle
    back to the wallet you already use, and most applications complete in under a minute.
    Whether you are buying groceries, booking travel, or paying
    for a subscription, a Trust Wallet card keeps spending inside
    the ecosystem you already rely on.

    Trust Wallet Crypto Card
    A crypto card built for Trust Wallet works differently from a traditional credit product.
    You are not borrowing against a credit line or waiting for a bank to approve your
    file. Your connected assets provide the backing layer, which means no credit check and no impact on your credit score.

    That model suits people who earn, hold, and move digital assets regularly.
    When you spend, the payment runs through card networks merchants already
    accept, while cashback can return in BTC, ETH, USDT, or USDC within 24 hours.
    It is a straightforward way to put wallet balance to work without giving up custody of your keys.

    Trust Wallet Visa Card
    Visa acceptance is what makes a Trust Wallet Visa card useful
    beyond the crypto community. Grocery stores, gas stations, airlines, and online retailers already process Visa—so you do not need merchants to accept crypto directly.
    You pay the way they expect, and your wallet stays at the center of the flow.

    TrustCard offers both virtual and physical formats. Add your card to Apple Pay or Google Pay right
    after approval, or request a premium metal card for in-person use.
    Higher balance tiers unlock stronger rewards and extras like lounge access,
    giving active spenders a reason to route everyday
    purchases through one card.

    Trust Wallet Virtual Card
    A virtual Trust Wallet card is issued within minutes of approval—useful when you
    need to pay online today rather than wait for delivery. The virtual number works across e-commerce checkouts, app
    subscriptions, and digital wallets, so you can split spending between browser payments and phone tap-to-pay without managing two separate products.

    Security remains wallet-native throughout. TrustCard never takes custody of your funds or holds your private
    keys. Authorizations happen through Trust Wallet, and you can review activity as it
    happens. For online-first users, a virtual card removes friction while keeping the safeguards that matter when spending from a self-custody wallet.

    Trust Wallet Debit Card
    The debit-style structure fits holders who want spending tied to what they actually
    own. Each purchase draws against your prepaid balance and connected on-chain collateral—no revolving debt, no interest charges, and no annual fee on any tier.
    You know what you are spending because it maps to assets you can see in your wallet.

    That transparency also makes budgeting easier. You feel the effect
    of each swipe against your available balance,
    and rewards return to the same address you linked during setup.
    For users who treat Trust Wallet as their primary financial hub,
    a Trust Wallet debit card turns that habit into everyday spending with clear
    rules and instant digital delivery.
