Hindujas - Only Britons In World's Top Billionaires List

DAVOS: With an estimated wealth of nearly 14 billion dollars, India-born Hinduja brothers have now emerged as the only British names on the list of world's top 80 billionaires dominated by Americans.

Srichand and Gopichand Hinduja emerged as the 66th richest in the world, as part of an Oxfam study released here at the World Economic Forum.

The figures, based on the definitive rich list compiled by 'Forbes' in March 2014 and the data from investment bank Credit Suisse indicates that the London-based entrepreneurs are now the richest Britons in the world.

Their UK-headquartered Hinduja Group conglomerate has worldwide interests that range from automobiles and banking to real estate and IT.

The Hinduja brothers had emerged as the richest in Britain in the annual 'Sunday Times Rich List' last year.

The next wealthiest Briton in the Oxfam analysis comes in only at 94 in the world –- Gerald Grosvenor, the sixth Duke of Westminster and godfather to Prince William –- who is worth an estimated 12 billion dollars.

The list is topped by Microsoft founder Bill Gates with 76 billion dollars and includes the likes of Mexican businessman Carlos Slim Helu and serial investor Warren Buffet.
