Top 10 Wealthiest Families in Asia 2025 Revealed by Bloomberg
Bloomberg has released its much-awaited list of the Top 20 Wealthiest Families in Asia for 2025. Six Indian families feature among Asia’s richest, with the Ambani family topping the chart with a combined wealth of $90.5 billion (₹7.85 lakh crore). This list highlights Asia’s legacy business empires that have evolved through generations, particularly in India where family-run conglomerates dominate the corporate landscape.
Asia has long been a hub of powerful business dynasties, and this year’s rankings underscore the regional economic influence of multi-generational families. In India, legacies like Reliance, Birla, and Bajaj are examples of family-owned empires that have diversified and grown globally. Bloomberg’s 2025 list excludes first-generation billionaire entrepreneurs and focuses solely on families that have passed on wealth through at least one generation.
