according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. This is the first time an Asian has made it into the top three spots on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
Gautam Adani, who has a net worth of $137.4 billion, has overtaken Bernard Arnault to be in the list after America’s Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos.
In 2022 alone, Adani added $60.9 billion to his fortune. That’s five times more money for him than for anyone else. He overtook Mukesh Ambani to become Asia’s richest person in February, became a billionaire in April, and surpassed Microsoft’s Bill Gates last month, becoming the fourth richest person in the world.
