Indian billionaire Gautam Adani has become the second richest businessman in the world with a net worth of $ 154.7 billion (about Rs 12.34 lakh crore). According to the Forbes Real Time Billionaires List, Gautam Adani has achieved this position by beating Bernard Arnault of France. This is the first time that an Asian has entered the top 2 of the Forbes Billionaires Index.

 

Gautam Adani is now only behind Elon Musk in the rankings. Tesla founder Elon Musk tops the list with a net worth of ₹21.83 lakh crore ($273.5 billion). Bernard Arnault is third with a net worth of 12.27 lakh crores ($ 153.8 billion) and Jeff Bezos is at number four on the list with a net worth of 11.95 lakh crores ($ 149.7 billion).

 

Apart from Adani, Asia's richest person, Reliance Chairman Mukesh Ambani is the second Indian to feature in the top-10 list. Mukesh Ambani is the 8th richest man in the world with a net worth of 7.35 lakh crores ($92.1 billion).

 

Became the third richest businessman 17 days ago

 

Adani became the third richest businessman 17 days ago. Adani has added $78.2 billion to his net worth in 2022 alone. This is 5 times more than any businessman. He first surpassed Reliance Chairman Mukesh Ambani as the richest Asian in February.

 

Adani's net worth was $57 billion in April 2021

 

Adani joined the centibillionaires club on April 4. Individuals with a net worth of more than $100 billion are called centibillionaires. A year ago, in April 2021, Adani's net worth was $ 57 billion. Adani's net worth grew the fastest in the world in the financial year 2021-2022. Adani Group has seven publicly listed companies.

 

In a discussion about buying a stake in NDTV

 

Adani Group through its subsidiary Vishwapradhan Commercial Private Limited (VPCPL) is seeking to buy 99.99% shares of RRPR Holding Private Limited, a promoter company of NDTV. However, the matter is still pending due to some legal reasons.

 

Steps were taken in the cement business too

 

Earlier in May, Gautam Adani's company had announced to buy Holcim's Indian cement business. The deal was done for $10.5 billion. With this deal, the Adani Group rose to the second position in the Indian cement market in a jiffy.

 

India's largest private port operator

 

Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Limited (APSEZ Ltd.) is India's largest private port operator and end-to-end logistics provider. In less than two decades, it has built a portfolio of port infrastructure and services across India. Its 13 strategically located ports and terminals represent 24% of the country's port capacity.
