After 19 months, Asia's richest businessman Mukesh Ambani has again reached that point where every Indian's eyes were yearning to see. Yes, Mukesh Ambani has again joined the 100 billion dollar club. In fact, due to the tremendous rise in the shares of Mukesh Ambani's Reliance Industries and reaching a new level, there has been an increase in the net worth of Mukesh Ambani. Due to which his wealth has crossed 100 billion dollars.
However, right now he has not been able to be included in the top 10 richest people of the world. At present, he is at 12th position in the list of the rich. On the other hand, compatriot Gautam Adani is also not far away. Now the biggest question is whether Gautam Adani will also be able to write a new story in this list again? To join the elite group of $100 billion, they still need about $4 billion. Let us also tell you how much wealth both Mukesh Ambani and Gautam Adani have at present.
Joins the 100 billion dollar club
Mukesh Ambani on Thursday became the 12th richest businessman in the world, leaving behind the world's richest woman Francoise Betancourt. Besides, Mukesh Ambani has also joined the elite club of $100 billion. Mukesh Ambani's wealth has increased by $2.76 billion. After which his total wealth has become 102 billion dollars. This year his total wealth has increased by $5.47 billion. On the other hand, Francois Betancourt has slipped from 12th place to 13th place with $97.2 billion.
Why did Mukesh Ambani's wealth increase?
On Thursday, there was a good rise in the shares of Mukesh Ambani's Reliance Industries. By the time the market closed, the company's shares had reached Rs 2,718.40 with a rise of 2.58 percent. However, during the trading session, the shares of the company had also reached a record high of Rs 2,724.95. By the way, on Friday also there is a rise in the shares of the company and the shares of the company have reached a new record level of Rs 2736.70. However, the shares of the company opened today at Rs 2718.40. The market cap of the company has crossed Rs 18.50 lakh crore. If experts are to be believed, the market cap of the company may cross Rs 20 lakh crore in the coming days.
Returned to the club again after 19 months
According to Bloomberg Billionaires Index data, Mukesh Ambani has again appeared in the $100 billion club after 19 months. As on June 9, 2022, Mukesh Ambani's total wealth was $2 billion. Since then, Mukesh Ambani's total wealth has remained below $100 billion. After one year, Mukesh Ambani had definitely reached close to 100 billion dollars on July 20, 2023, but could not touch this level. Then Mukesh Ambani's net worth had come to 99.5 billion dollars. Now after 6 months, Mukesh Ambani's net worth has crossed 100 billion dollars.
Gautam Adani is also not behind
On the other hand, Gautam Adani is also not far behind. He is the 14th richest businessman in the world with $96.2 billion. If there is a similar rise in the shares of Adani Group, then soon their name will also come in the list of 100 billion dollars. However, before the Hindenburg Research report came out, Gautam Adani was in the list of top 5 billionaires of the world. Now the biggest question is whether the same magic will work in the year 2024 as it did in the year 2022.
In the month of September 2022, the total net worth of Gautam Adani was around 150 billion dollars. Adani is still more than $50 billion below that level. By the way, the market cap of Adani Group has reached between Rs 15 to 16 lakh crore. About a year ago, Gautam Adani's total wealth was around $125 billion. After which, at the end of February 2023, Adani's total wealth came to $37 billion.
