Microsoft's Bill Gates & Mexico's Carlos Slim Helu are no longer the worlds richest people. Indian industrialist Mukesh Ambani (pictured) has been named at the top of the list of the world's richest people and is valued at £30.6 billion ($61.2 billion). His wealth has been buoyed by activity on the Mumbai Sensex stock index which topped 20,000 for the first time yesterday, having almost doubled in value over the last two years. Founded by Ambani's father, Dhirubhai, the company portfolio includes oil, textiles and biochemicals, with annual revenues at more than £13 billion ($26 billion).
