Forbes magazine’s annual ranking of the world’s richest people has just been released.

In 2007 India has become home to the most billionaires in Asia—taking the top spot from Japan (effectively ending that country’s 20-year-domination ).

Lakshmi Mittal is the richest man in Asia (fifth globally). Estimates put his net worth at $32 billion.

This year India, where 400 million people live on less that one dollar a day, has added 14 new billionaires to the Forbes list.
