The global economy has seen a huge decline since March because somewhere the coronavirus has slowed the markets. But, when you are among the richest families in the world, then all these things have very little effect on you. For example, since January, Mukesh Ambani has jumped nine places on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. As of August 18, Indian billionaires dropped from fourth place to sixth place on the Forbes Real-Time Billionaires list.

 

 

Today, we are going to tell you the names of 10 such families who appear in the list of top 10 richest families in the world.
