The Forbes World’s Billionaires List for 2025 is led by Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk who has a net worth $342 billion.
India has seen its overall billionaire tally increase slightly over the past year — rising from a 200 individuals to 205. These individuals have a collective net worth of $941 billion in 2025 — down from $954 billion last year. The drop is primarily due to the country’s two richest individuals seeing their fortunes fall by more than $20 billion as shares of their conglomerates fell.
