Current status of wealth
Following this recent reshuffle, the net worth and global ranking of the two Indian businessmen are as follows:
Gautam Adani: His net worth has increased to $92.6 billion. This makes him the 19th richest person in the world globally.
Mukesh Ambani: Ambani, who had long held the top spot, has now slipped to second in Asia and 20th globally; His net worth is 90.8 billion dollars.
How did such a big change happen?
The major difference in the ranking and wealth of Adani and Ambani is due to their performance in the stock market:
Adani Group’s Best Performance: This year, Gautam Adani’s wealth has increased by a whopping $8.1 billion. Even as the BSE Sensex fell by 123 points during a recent trading session on Thursday, shares of Adani Group saw a strong rally. On that single day alone, Adani’s net worth has added approximately $3.56 billion.
Reliance Industries’ mixed performance: On the other hand, Mukesh Ambani’s wealth has declined by $16.9 billion this year; This is a reflection of the volatility in Reliance Industries shares. Although they recently posted a marginal gain of $76.7 million, Reliance’s shares remained largely flat overall, which led to the change in rankings.
What is the current status of global billionaires?
Seven of the world’s top 20 billionaires have seen their wealth decline this year. The biggest loss was seen by Bernard Arnault, the owner of the ‘luxury brand’. His net worth fell by $44 billion. Even luminaries like Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Steve Ballmer, Larry Ellison and Mukesh Ambani are among the list of losers this year.
Meanwhile, when it comes to the world’s richest person, Tesla CEO Elon Musk has held on to the top spot with a net worth of $656 billion. He is followed by Larry Page; His total wealth is 286 billion dollars.
What exactly will happen next?
The disparity between Adani and Ambani’s fortunes shows how quickly fluctuations in the stock market can change the ranking of billionaires. This competition between the world’s richest people will continue in the future. Of course, this competition will directly depend on the market performance of their respective companies.
