The family of Mukesh Ambani, who is counted among the richest people in India, has got the first place in the list of 20 richest families in Asia. Apart from the Ambani family, some more Indian families are also included in this list released by Bloomberg on Thursday.
Let me tell you, Mukesh Ambani took charge of Reliance after the death of his father Dhirubhai Ambani in 2002 and since then he has made this group a global business group. Today, Reliance Industry’s dominance is in areas like oil refining, tech, retail, financial services and green energy.
This Bharti family also included in the list

Why is Gautam Adani not in the list?
The shocking thing is that the family of Gautam Adani, owner of Adani Group, is not included in this list. Actually, this list only includes those families who have a legacy that has been going on for generations. Gautam Adani is a first-generation businessman, so he has been excluded from this ‘diocese-specific’ rankings.
According to Bloomberg, “This ranking is based on data up to 31 January 2025. It does not include the property of first-generation wealth (eg Alibaba’s Jack Ma and India’s Gautam Adani).”
