Gautam Adani is now the world’s third-richest person after surpassing Louis Vuitton's Bernard Arnault on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
The latest listing on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index shows Gautam Adani in the third spot, behind Amazon's Jeff Bezos and Tesla's Elon Musk. The fortunes of Adani have skyrocketed in recent years, adding $60.9 billion to his net worth in 2022 alone, five times more than anyone else. Swiss entrepreneur Guillaume Pousaz is the second biggest gainer with $11.7 billion addition to his net worth this year.
According to reports, this is the first time a person of Asian origin has broken into the top three of the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
Adani now owns India’s largest private-sector port and airport operator, city-gas distributor and coal miner. His venture into coal has been marred with controversy as the group's Carmichael mine in Australia has been criticized by environmentalists.
