New Delhi: Adani Group founder Gautam Adani on Tuesday became richer than the co-founder of Microsoft Bill Gates. He also bagged the fourth spot on the billionaires’ list.
On the list, he is just behind three billionaires, Elon Musk, Bernard Arnault, and Jeff Bezos. Currently, his net worth is $114.4 billion.
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.
Famous Indian businessman Mukesh Ambani who was the richest person in India till recently is currently holding the second position in the list of Indian billionaires.
On the world’s billionaires list, Ambani occupies 10th position. Currently, his net worth is $88.4 billion.
