WORLD : Gautam Adani, who overtook Mukesh Ambani as the richest Asian in February, is expected to add $60.9 billion to his wealth in 2022, Adani, who overtook Microsoft Corp’s Bill Gates as the world’s fourth-richest person last month, said. The world is surprised to see this speed of progress, now Indian billionaire Gautam Adani has achieved another achievement and has become the third richest person in the world by surpassing Bernard Arnault of France with a wealth of 137 billion dollars. Adani’s net worth rose to $113 billion, surpassing the Microsoft Corporation co-founder’s $230 million, as the Indian billionaire last month replaced Bill Gates as the world’s fourth-richest person, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. This is the first time that an Asian has featured in the top three of the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
Actually, Adani would have crossed these marks earlier but 60-year-old Adani donated 7.7 billion dollars on his 60th birthday. However, he has not given any details yet. In which welfare scheme was the amount spent? However, Adani, owner of data centers, private sector ports, coal mines, airport operators, media, cement, is now behind only America’s Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos in the ranking.
