YourStory · 10m

Gautam Adani has reclaimed the title of the richest person in Asia, surpassing Mukesh Ambani of Reliance Industries. Adani's net worth of $111 billion now ranks him 11th in the world, while Ambani follows closely at 12th with $109 billion, according to Bloomberg Billionaires Index. The surge in stock prices of Adani Group companies, driven by a optimistic outlook from US brokerage Jefferies, contributed to Adani's recent rise. Adani Group's market capitalization increased by Rs 84,064 crore, pushing Adani ahead of Ambani. Adani's conglomerate had faced setbacks earlier due to allegations of fraud but has since rebounded.
