On the list, he is just behind three billionaires, Elon Musk, Bernard Arnault, and Jeff Bezos. Currently, his net worth is $114.4 billion.
Can Gautam Adani become world’s richest person?
It looks exaggerated to say that Gautam Adani can become the world’s richest person when his net worth is merely half of the net worth of the world’s richest person and Tesla CEO, Elon Musk.
However, after looking at the growth of his net worth in the last few months, it seems that it is not impossible.
Since April 2020, his net worth increased drastically. It increased from $4.91 billion on March 18, 2020, to $114.4 billion on July 19, 2022.
In less than two and half years, his net worth surged by over 2329 percent i.e., $109.49 billion.
Currently, he is just $33 billion away from the net worth of the second richest person in the world, Bernard Arnault.
