It turns out that richest Indian women, too, are just a shadow of their male counterparts when it comes to wealth. 

According to data compiled by Hurun, only 4% women occupy a place in the list of richest Indians. Hurun said, “The only self-made women entrepreneur is Bengaluru-based Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw (63) of Biocon, with a networth of Rs 10,800 crore.”

It further said, “Savitri Jindal (66), is the richest woman with a personal fortune pegged at Rs 35,000 crore and bags the 18th position in the Hurun India Rich List 2016.”

Following Jindal was Indu Jain of Bennett Coleman with a net worth of Rs 28,000 crore and Smitha V Crishna of Godrej with wealth worth Rs 15,700 crore. Fourth in the list was Vinod Gupta of Havells India with a net worth of Rs 14,800 crore. 
 

Other women who made to the top 10 richest women list were Mallika Srinivasan of TAFE (5th- Rs 11,700 crore), Kiran Mazumdar Shaw of Biocon (6th- Rs 10,800 crore), Nilima Motaparti of Divi's Lab (7th- Rs 7,100 crore), Anu Aga of Thermax (8th- Rs 7,000 crore), Madhu Kapur of Yes Bank (9th- Rs 5,600 crore) and Sophie Ahmed of Cipla (10th- Rs 2,600 crore).


 Women vs Men
 Mukesh Ambani of Reliance Industries topped the list for the fifth consecutive year with the wealth worth Rs 1.63 lakh crore.


 Interestingly, the wealth gap between men and women can be compared by just combing the wealth of top 10 women with Ambani's. Total wealth of top 10 women stood at nearly Rs 1.38 lakh crore, while Ambani's alone net worth is Rs 1.63 lakh crore, a gap of 15%.
 

 Only five Indian women could make it to the Forbes list of World's richest. The list which included 190 women billionaires had a little over 10% Indian women on its charts. 
 
Present data showed by Forbes India's Richest People, Savitri Jindal stood at 23rd position among India's richest people. Along with her, only three other women, namely, Leena Tiwari (54th), Indu Jain (57th) and Vinod Gupta (74th) made it to the list. While other 96 positions were occupied by men with again Ambani at the top.
