Indian Americans (Asian Indians) are now the richest and most successful ethnic group in the USA

[Deneb]

In the USA, and probably on planet Earth.

Indian Americans (Indian Americans or Indo-Americans are Americans whose ancestry belongs to any of the many ethnic groups of the Republic of India) continuously outpace every other ethnic group socioeconomically per U.S. Census statistics. Thomas Friedman, in his 2005 book The World Is Flat, explains this trend in terms of brain drain, whereby the best and brightest elements in India emigrate to the US in order to seek better financial opportunities. Indians form the second largest group of physicians after non-Hispanic whites (3.9%) as of the 1990 survey, and the percentage of Indian physicians rose to around 6% in 2005.
According to Pew Research in 2015, of Indian Americans aged 25 and older, 32% had obtained a bachelor's degree and 40% had obtained a postgraduate degree, whereas of all Americans, 19% had obtained a bachelor's degree and 11% had obtained a postgraduate degree.
The median household income for Indian immigrants in 2015 was much higher than that of the overall foreign- and native-born populations.
By far they are the richest and most successful ethnic group in the USA due to their strong work-ethic and focus on education.
This is a list of median household income in the United States by race and ethnicity

From an early age.

"Not one, two, but eight dictionary experts claimed the 92nd Scripps National Spelling Bee championship title Thursday night, after surviving 20 total rounds on a historic night.
The voice of the Scripps Bee, Jacques Bailly, announced three hours into the final competition that everyone who nailed their 12th word of the night would share the honor, marking the first time more than two contestants won.
The winners were: Rishik Gandhasri, Erin Howard, Saketh Sundar, Shruthika Padhy, Sohum Sukhatankar, Abhijay Kodali, Christopher Serrao and Rohan Raja."

Most Indian Americans run family businesses, they aren't individually as wealthy. I have seen very few Indian, Arab or Pakistani businesses that aren't owned by less that 3 people from the same family. There all also less Indians than other ethnic groups, so if you have 50 indian families and 45 of them own family business compared to 300 Asian families where 190 out of them own family businesses and 10000 white americans where 4000 own family businesses the metrics are going to tip in their favor of course. Their success is earned, but it's not done on the back of a single person usually, its brother, uncles, dads, cousins all pulling their resources together in a small population.
Statistical analysis is not cut and dry.

Proof that money doesn't buy happiness. I have never met a happy Indian in my life.

I don't know if you're saying that Indians own small grocery stores or something, but it's much more than that.

"A joint Duke University – UC Berkeley study revealed that Indian immigrants have founded more engineering and technology companies from 1995 to 2005 than immigrants from the UK, China, Taiwan and Japan combined. The percentage of Silicon Valley startups founded by Indian immigrants has increased from 7% in 1999 to 15.5% in 2006, as reported in the 1999 study by AnnaLee Saxenian and her updated work in 2006 in collaboration with Vivek Wadhawa. Indian Americans are making their way to the top positions of almost every big technology company (Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Cisco, Oracle, Adobe, Softbank, Cognizant, Sun microsystems, etc.) Many of them came from very humble origins, for example the current google CEO "Sundar Pichai did not have the privilege of watching television or travelling by car during his childhood. Born and raised in a middle class household, Mr. Pichai used to sleep with his brother in the living room of their two-room apartment that barely had any technology. Despite facing these hardships of everyday life in India, Pichai had a gleam in his eyes of sheer ambition and relentless pursuit."
