New York, Oct 4 (Ians) Indian-Americans Vinod Khosla, Romesh Wadhwani and Rakesh Gangwal made it to the Forbes 2022 list of 400 wealthiest Americans with Zscaler CEO Jay Chaudhry leading the pack with a net worth of 8.2 billion.
Overall, Tesla’s Elon Musk earned the top spot for the first time, unseating former Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, who had held the top spot for four consecutive years.
As a group, the 400 wealthiest Americans are worth 4 trillion, 500 billion less than last year, Forbes noted.
Chaudhry, 63, who founded the cybersecurity firm Zscaler in 2008, is ranked 79. He and his family members own 42 per cent of the Nasdaq-listed firm which went public in March 2018.
Before Zscaler, Chaudhry had founded four other tech companies that were all acquired — SecureIT, CoreHarbor, CipherTrust, and AirDefense. In 1996, Chaudhry and his wife quit their jobs and used their life savings to launch SecureIT, their first startup.
Chaudhry had moved to the US in 1980 to attend graduate school.

NEW ORLEANS -- Top cable executives discussed convergence's impact on the industry during a discussion on Day 2 of the National Cable & Telecommunications Assn.'s 2008 Cable Show here.
Topics of Monday's panel included the importance of branding and the questions over whether to charge for online content.
Time Warner Cable's Glenn Britt said that when cable networks -- who he said seek "more money every year" -- ask whether TWC minds if they put their on-air programming online as well, "Guess what? We do mind."
In a news conference after the discussion, he clarified his remarks, saying he does want to see "all sorts of content" on the Internet.
"But if you're talking about putting (a program) online for free on the same date (it airs on TV), that will erode your other business model," he said. "The operators are the middlemen who guarantee (the cable networks) revenue, so we have to intervene at some point."
The panel, moderated by BET Networks' Debra Lee, also included Judy McGrath of MTV Networks, George Bodenheimer of Disney/ESPN/ABC, Neil Smit of Charter and Scott McNealy of Sun Microsystems.
