Hurun
Sunainaa Chadha, March 17, 2022: The Times of India
With a wealth of US$ 4.3 billion and US$ 4.2 billion respectively, Rakesh Gangwal and Rahul Bhatia and the family of “Indigo” airlines are the wealthiest aviation billionaires. Interglobe co-founders improved their rank by 231 positions over the last five years.
NEW DELHI: Despite the Russia-Ukraine war and the continued impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, the rich have only gotten richer with the total wealth of billionaires rising by 4 percent to touch $15.2 trillion in FY 2022, according to the latest rich list by Hurun.
The global list pointed out that there are a total of 3,381 billionaires in the world, up by 153 from last year.
Here are the ten key highlights:
2070 billionaires saw their wealth increase:
2,070 saw their wealth increase, of which 490 were new faces. 1,279 saw their wealth decrease, of which 337 dropped-off. 369 saw their wealth stay the same. The average age was 64. “The Russia-Ukraine war, Covid-19 and the US-China Trade War contributed to 301 billionaires dropping off the list this year, almost one a day. However, continued digitalisation of the economy, tech innovations as well as inflation helped 490 new faces making the list, giving a surprising net increase of 153 billionaires," said Rupert Hoogewerf, Hurun Report chairman and chief researcher.
2 new faces in the Top 10: Sergey Brin and Larry Page of Alphabet broke into Top 10 at the expense of Mark Zuckerburg and China-based bottled water tycoon Zhong Shanshan.
Top ten billionaires in the world
The Top 10 added US$235bn over the year and are now worth US$1.3 trillion or 9% of the total list. 7 are from the USA, 2 from France and 1 from India.

The year of IPOs:
This year has been a strong year for IPOs, with 94 billionaires minted from 77 IPOs. The year was also a moment of reckoning for the India’s startup ecosystem which witnessed major startup IPOs including 4 companies in Hurun Global Unicorn Index. 2021’s IPO story began with a bang but fizzled out towards the end owing to bubble concerns. 10 Tech companies that listed in 2021 cumulatively lost US$23bn or Rs 1,72,000 crore since listing, resulting in a momentary pause of the tech IPO “Ashwamedham”.
72% are self-made billionaires and 28% are inherited. China is the world’s engine when it comes to self-made billionaires. Five years ago, self-made billionaires accounted for 69% of the total list.

With a wealth of $3.3 billion, Byju Raveendran of Byju’s, an online tutoring start-up, is the world’s third richest entrepreneur from the education sector.
Crypto billionaires:
2021 was also a watershed moment for wealth creation in crypto, which produced 17 'known' billionaires, led by Singapore-based CZ Zhao Changpeng, 45, of Binance with $232 billion, and Sam Bankman Fried of FTZ with $21 billion. Last year's number one Brian Armstrong of Coinbase dropped to third with $10 billion. The top three crypto billionaires are from crypto exchanges. Coinbase listed at a blockbuster US$100bn valuation in its Nasdaq debut in April, launching Brian Armstrong and Frederick Ernest Ehrsam III into the 2022 M3M Hurun Global Rich List. However, due to volatility of the crypto asset class, Coinbase is currently trading at 60% discount to the listing price.

Financial services is still number one, accounting for 9.3% of world's billionaires. Healthcare overtook real estate to second place in terms of number of billionaires, while retail overtook consumer goods at fourth place.
