New Delhi: Gautam Adani, the chairman of the Adani group, has reclaimed the title of Asia’s wealthiest individual, according to the latest update from the Bloomberg Billionaire’s Index. With a staggering net worth of $97.6 billion, Adani has surged to become the 12th richest person globally, surpassing his previous rank of 15th in December 2023.

However, since then, the Adani group has experienced a remarkable recovery and resurgence. RIL’s Ambani is now India and Asia’s second richest man at the 13th spot with a wealth of $97 billion. He has gained $764 million since the last change and added $665 million to his wealth YTD.

As per the Bloomberg Billionaire’s Index, the coveted spot of the world’s richest person remains firmly in the grasp of Elon Musk, boasting a massive net worth of $220 billion. Following Musk, the ranking is dominated by Jeff Bezos with $169 billion, Bernard Arnault with $168 billion, Bill Gates with $138 billion, and Steve Ballmer with $128 billion.
