India - number of Billionaires , Millionaires, GDP (PPP) share in world GDP

total number of Billionares listed by IMF in 2011 =  1210

( 1Bln $  wealth = 4500cr Indian rupees - So this list include people richer than 4500 Cr INR)

USA     =     413

Last year (2010) India had only 33 Billionaires , now it is 55.

Brazil, Russia, India and China produced 108 of the 214 new names.
These four nations are home to one-in-four members, up from one-in-ten five years ago.


The Asia Pacific region now has a record 332 billionaires, up from 234 a year ago and 130 at the depth of the financial crisis in 2009.
America's wealthiest still dominate the global ranks, but the U.S. is losing its grip. One-in-three billionaires is an American, down from nearly one-out-of-two a decade ago. It has 10 more than last year but 56 fewer than its 2008 peak. The U.S. is adding new billionaires at a much slower pace; just 6% of its 413 billionaires are new this year compared with 47% of China's and 30% of Russia's.
