Mumbai, Sep 1: Riding high on their fathers’ rich status, Vanisha Mittal, Isha Ambani and Pia Singh - daughters of steel tycoon Lakshmi Mittal, Reliance Industries chairman Mukesh Ambani and DLF chairman KP Singh, respectively, have grabbed the top three rankings on a Forbes list of billionaire heiresses.

Vanisha Mittal Bhatia, daughter of Lakshmi Mittal, the fourth richest person in the world as of March, is perhaps best known for the $60 million wedding her father threw for her in 2004. She now serves as a director on the board of her father’s $103 billion steel company Arcelor Mittal. Her corporate involvement and small family — she has only one brother — puts her in good stead to inherit a sizeable chunk of her father’s fortune, Forbes said.

Second on the list is 16-year old Isha Ambani, daughter of Mukesh Ambani, who is ranked the fifth richest in the world. Isha has her own stake in the family’s Reliance Industries, worth about $80 million. Born in 1991, Isha has a twin brother Akash, and a younger one, Hari Anant. Isha is in her final year IB program. Apart from academics, where she has bagged several awards, Isha was also part of a prize winning under-19 girls’ football team and is a trained pianist and talented artist.

KP Singh’s daughter Pia Singh has secured the third position in the Forbes list of the world’s likely- to-be richest heiresses. She already holds a stake worth $400 million in the country’s biggest real estate firm.

For arriving at the billionaire heiresses list, Forbes looked at the daughters of 150 richest people, all of whom had a net worth of $6.4 billion or more in March.
