Hurun India’s Luxury Consumer Survey 2019 has done the research for you, listing out the most popular private jet brands. According to the survey, Bombardier is the most popular private business jet brand and Gulfstream grabs the second position. Other brands on the list include Dassault, Honda Jet and Embraer.
And for those who can’t conquer the skies with their rides, there are the roads. Nearly half of the respondents of the survey have two to three cars. And almost half of them renew their car every three to four years. Audi and BMW are the “most popular luxury car brands,” with Mercedes - Benz clinching the close third spot. Following spots are taken by Rolls-Royce, Aston Martin and Lamborghini.

This is the first edition of the Hurun Luxury Consumer Survey and is aimed at understanding the changing pattern and preferences of lifestyle, consumption habits and brand awareness of high-net-worth Indians.
Anas Rahman Junaid, MD and chief researcher of Hurun Report India said: " Increase in opulence and the rising millennial population in the country, investment into luxury products and service would witness an upward trend. If India’s GDP doubles in the next 4 years, that will have an impact on the number of new millionaires in the country – resulting in a direct impact on luxury spending and investments.”

Despite a tough year for tech giants Facebook and Google, the founders of both the companies were among the top 10 richest people in the world.
The social media network, that celebrated its 15th anniversary in January, was embroiled in the Cambridge Analytica scandal, and has been facing allegations of data breach and privacy violation. However, that doesn't seem to have had much of an impact on founder Mark Zuckerberg's (C) wealth that was still up by USD 1 billion. As for the ranking, the 34-year-old dropped just one place to fifth on the list, yet remaining the youngest of the Top 10.
Google, too, has been at the receiving end of questions on privacy invasion, and parent company Alphabet was recently fined a record US$5.1bn by the European Union for abusing Android’s dominance in the smartphone market. But despite the tough times, 45-year-old Sergey Brin (L) and 45-year-old Larry Page (R) both made their debut in the top 10 on the list. Brin, who is also an avid data miner of Ethereum - the second largest crypto, was at No. 8 with USD 54 billion, while Page with USD 53 billion ranked at the 10th spot.

Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani became the first Indian to break into global top 10. The 61-year-old, who is the only Asian among the top 10, saw a USD 9 billion or 20% surge in his wealth, taking his net worth to USD 54 billion.
Ambani bucked the poor stock market trend in India in the last year, and Reliance Jio Infocomm announced the launch of international roaming between India and Japan, a first for India’s 4G mobile operators to provide VoLTE-based international roaming services in India. He also expanded investment in the entertainment sector with acquisitions worth USD 700 million in Hathway and Den.
Ambani, whose wealth is based on telecom, retail and energy, had also topped the Hurun India Philanthropy List 2018. Currently, the business tycoon is busy with the pre-wedding celebrations of his son Akash - for which he hosted over 850 guests in St. Moritz. In December last year, Ambani hosted the high-profile wedding of his daughter Isha.
Interestingly, Mukesh and his brother Anil Ambani both started with similar amounts after their split, but in the 7 years since then the older Ambani has added USD 30 billion, while Anil has lost over USD 5 billion - amounting to USD 1.9 billion this year. Recently, Anil Ambani was held in contempt of court by the Supreme Court for not paying up Ericsson Rs 540 crore.

China lost the maximum number of billionaires - 213, followed by India with 52.
Rupert Hoogewerf, Hurun Report Chairman and Chief Researcher said, “a 23% drop in the Chinese stock markets coupled with a 6% drop in the Chinese Yuan were the main causes of the dropoffs in China, whilst for India it was a 10% decrease in the value of the Rupee.”
However, in the 201 new additions to the list, China took the lead with 52 billionaires, followed by the USA at 39, and India with 23.
