The index places Louis Vuitton CEO Bernard Arnault in third position with a fortune of $197 billion, followed by Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg with $179 billion. Microsoft's Bill Gates follows closely in fifth place, with wealth of $150 billion.

Notably, Indian tycoon Mukesh Ambani occupies the eleventh position on the list and has a substantial wealth of $115 billion.
