SL tycoon on Gulf News South Asia rich list
The Island
|August 11, 2025
Sri Lankan businessman Ishara Nanayakkara is among South Asia’s wealthiest individuals in the Gulf News 2025 rich list, with an estimated net worth of USD 1.6 billion.
-
The ranking places Nanayakkara alongside some of the region’s most prominent tycoons, led by India’s Mukesh Ambani, whose staggering USD 118 billion fortune towers over the rest. Ambani’s wealth is nearly 10 times greater than that of Pakistan’s Shahid Khan (USD 13.5 billion), who ranks second.
Others on the list include Bangladesh's Mossa Bin Shamsher (who claims USD 12 billion) and Nepal's Binod Chaudhary (USD 1.6 billion).
According to Gulf News, Ambani’s dominance underscores India’s outsized presence in the region’s billionaire club, but Nanayakkara’s inclusion marks a rare Sri Lankan appearance in a ranking long dominated by Indian and Pakistani magnates.
