How is it calculated?
Most of the fortune is unlisted. Forbes credits him with shares in four listed Godrej companies: Godrej Consumer Products (about 2.83 crore shares), Godrej Agrovet (44.2 lakh), Godrej Industries (42.1 lakh) and Godrej Properties (39.5 lakh) 1. By our calculation from Forbes' share prices, those stakes are worth about $387 million (about ₹3,680 crore), under a tenth of his net worth. The rest reflects Godrej & Boyce and its Mumbai land, which Forbes calls the family's biggest asset, but Forbes does not publish its valuation of them 3.
