Astrology may not be the first thing that comes to mind when talking about wealth, but according to a 2025 analysis of the Hurun India Rich List, zodiac signs might reveal surprising patterns among India’s wealthiest families. The study categorised billionaires based on the zodiac sign of the family head—and the results are fascinating.
Most millionaires dismiss astrology, believing their success comes from years of hard work and persistence. But billionaires often think differently. They recognize that while effort matters, an extraordinary stroke of luck—being born into the right family, entering the right market at the perfect time, or catching an opportunity others missed—can make all the difference.
As J.P. Morgan famously said:
Millionaires don’t believe in astrology, but billionaires do.
With that perspective in mind, here’s what the 2025 rich list revealed about which zodiac signs dominate India’s billionaire club—and which signs are barely represented.
Gemini is the third astrological sign in the zodiac and takes the top spot with a contribution of 9.50%. The wealthiest individuals under this sign include Kumar Mangalam Birla & Family, L.N. Mittal & Family, and Rahul Bhatia & Family.
