Who are the richest Indians in US? Sundar Pichai and Satya Nadella not in top 9

US President Donald Trump might have contested, won and now acted on his campaign promise to focus on immigration, but that doesn't change the fact that America is also home to a record 125 foreign-born billionaires.

Among them, at least 12, the most from a single country, were born in India, according to Forbes' list of billionaires. The 125 billionaires, up from 92 in 2022, came from 43 different countries, but made their fortunes primarily on American soil.

Of the 10 richest billionaires in the US, three - Tesla CEO Elon Musk, Google cofounder Sergey Brin and Nvidia cofounder and CEO Jensen Huang - were born out of the country.
