      According to the education details mentioned in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections affidavit filed by Rahul Gandhi for contesting in Amethi Parliamentary Constituency, Gandhi listed that he had completed Masters of Philosophy (Development Studies) from Trinity College, University of Cambridge in 1995.

      A keyword search on Forbes's international and Indian sites and found only news articles about him.

      Additionally, we did not find any credible news reports that reported on Gandhi making it to any such list on Forbes.

      BOOM reached out to Forbes for a response, the article will be updated on receiving one.
