New Delhi: For the time, India’s richest person and the founder-cum-chairman of Adani Group, Gautam Adani became richer than Microsoft’s Steve Ballmer and Reliance Industries Limited’s Mukesh Ambani.
With a net worth of $109.9 billion, Adani is on the ninth position in the list of top 10 billionaires in the world. Microsoft’s Steve Ballmer whose net worth is $100.7 billion is on the tenth spot.
The rise in Adani’s net worth is due to the surge in the share prices of his companies. One of his companies, Adani Group’s power business arm Adani Power has recently hit the 10 percent upper circuit.
In 2021, Adani emerged as the world’s biggest gainer. It seems that the trend will continue in the current year too.
