Fraud allegations won't hurt Rishi Shah and Shradha Agarwal's Hurun Global Rich of List position

Heavy is the head that wears the crown, and heavier still when it comes with a billionaire’s tag and lawsuits.

Rishi Shah and Shradha Agarwal of US-based health intelligence company Outcome Health made news recently for featuring in the Hurun Global Rich of List of youngest self-made billionaires this year. But it was only a few months back that allegations of fraud were levelled against the company for false claims.

So while their monetary value has increased, Shah and Agarwal had to take a step down as president and CEO to become chairman and vice-chairman respectively in the process of settling those claims.

However, this cloud doesn’t hamper their position on the rich list, according to Hurun. Turns out, their personal wealth through the business has been estimated at $3.9 billion (Shah) and $1.1 billion (Agarwal). And given that they still own the company, it’s likely to remain that way.
