Why Royals Never Make it to The 'Elite Rich List'?

BANGALORE: Well, it's true that royals of India boast pure royalty and own precious jewels worth billions. It leaves us thinking as to why these super rich royals never make it to the list of billionaire’s. It’s not that they have any less assets, but the issue is that there assets are priceless and distributed unevenly. The estimations are impossible to be done in a very accurate manner. The royals still have billions being stolen, acquired and being displayed in the form of rare jewels, and antiques. Their worth is always an approx figure.

And these approximate figures cannot be used for rankings. Furthermore, the billionaires’ list prepared by various sources and especially Forbes, follow a certain methodology which forbids the Maharajas to be included in the list. Forbes clearly mentions that they do not include Royal families in the list because they possess inherited wealth and is a result of power from centuries earlier. They possess the wealth from their ancestors and are not a result of hard earned money from brain-storming sessions.  This criteria leaves out the possibility of our wealthy Maharajas to be able to view their names in the billionaires’ list yet they know they are the wealthiest.
