Now only Bezos, Arnault, and Elon Musk are ahead of Adani
According to the ranking of Forbes magazine, which released the list of the world’s billionaires, Gautam Adani is currently the fourth richest billionaire in the world.

This is how Gautam Adani surpassed Bill Gates
Microsoft founder Bill Gates announced last week that he was donating $20 billion of his net worth to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation this month. Because of this, there was a decrease in his wealth. After this decision of Gates, Gautam Adani, whose wealth has been increasing continuously in recent times, has overtaken Bill Gates to number four on the list of billionaires. On the other hand, Mukesh Ambani, the head of Indian company Reliance Industries, occupies the tenth position in the Forbes Real Time Billionaires list with a net worth of $88 billion.
