Mukesh Ambani overtakes Gautam Adani to become richest Indian in the world

Mukesh Ambani has overtaken Adani Group chairman Gautam Adani to become the richest Indian in the world with a net worth of USD 84.3 billion, according to Forbes Real-time billionaire

Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani has overtaken Adani Group chairman Gautam Adani to become the richest Indian in the world with a net worth of USD 84.3 billion, according to Forbes Real-time billionaire list for 2023.
Ambani overtook Adani after the Reliance Industries Chairman’s assets went up 0.19 per cent with an increase of wealth by USD 164 million while Gautam Adani’s assets went down by 4.62 per cent with the industrialist’s weath pegged at USD 84.1 billion according to the real time tracker of Forbes of 5 pm EST on Tuesday.

Adani who figured among the top three billionaires in the world has dropped in the ranking to number 10 just below Mukesh Ambani. At the top of the list is French luxury fashion giant’s LMVH’s Bernard Arnault and family. In December 2022, Louis Vuitton‘s founder and CEO Bernard Arnault overtook Elon Musk as the world’s richest person.
However, these values fluctuate constantly. If there is a gain in Adani’s stock, it is expected Adani’s personal wealth will rise too.
This comes following a report by US short-seller Hindenburg Research on the Adani Group alleging a decades-long fraud scheme, “brazen accounting fraud, stock manipulation and money laundering”
