Two people of Sri Lankan Tamil origin were named in the Forbes Billionaire list, released on 11th March 2009. Forbes magazine presents an annual list of the world's richest people. Both are major investors in their country of origin.
Mr.T Ananda Krishnan, a Malaysian of Sri Lankan Tamil origin, was named the 62nd richest person in the world and the richest Malaysian. The 70 year-old Harvard Business School graduate's personal fortune was estimated at US$ 7 billion.He was previosly ranked 119th richest person in the world. Though Mr Krishnan has risen in the rankings, the credit crunch has taken its toll on his personal wealth. His fortune fell by US$400 million, which is a lot smaller than the losses suffered by others in the Billionaire List.
Mr. Ananda Krishnan's father Mr. Tatparanandam, a Malayan civil servant, hailed from Vaddukkodai in Northern Sri Lanka. Last year, Mr. Krishnan acquired a controlling stake in Sri Lanka Telecom for US$300 m, representing his first foray in his country of origin.
His holdings include Maxis Communications, Malaysia's largest cell-phone service provider, with more than six million subscribers now entering the Indian cell-phone market. His Measat satellites help telecoms and broadcasters reach customers and audiences across Southeast Asia, China, South Asia and Australia. He also controls racetrack betting and lottery systems in Malaysia via Tanjong Public.Last year, he sold Excel, the exhibition venue in London s Docklands, and bought a 20% stake in Johnston Press in London.
Mr. Raj Rajaratnam, the New York-based founder of the Galleon hedge fund, made his first appearence in the Forbes Billionaire list. He was ranked the 559th richest person, with an estimated fortune of US$1.3 billion. Mr. Rajaratnam is a major investor in the Sri Lankan stock market. The Sri Lankan-born investor recently held over 10% of the shares in John Keells Holdings, Sri Lanka's leading conglomerate. Mr. Rajaratnam is the son of David Rajaratnam, former Managing Director of Singer (Sri Lanka) and a graduate of Wharton Business School

The vessel, the MV Captain Ali, which set sail from Britain on April 20, is currently anchored outside Chennai port after it was turned away by the Lankan Navy on June 9, after it was detained for several days. |
