India's billionaire population fourth highest




The ranks of the world's wealthiest defied global economic turmoil and expanded yet again despite plunging oil prices and a weakened euro.




India is home to the fourth largest number of billionaires across the world, while the US tops the charts followed by China and Germany. 
However, only five Indians figure among the 100 wealthiest across the world, according to the latest Forbes rich list for 2015. 
The number of Indian billionaires has increased to 90 with a total wealth of $ 294 billion, registering a significant jump over last year when there were 56 billionaires with a collective networth of $ 191.5 billion. 
The number of Indian women in this year's list witnessed an increase over last year, when only two Indian women were included on the Forbes billionaire list.
