Indian billionaire Gautam Adani has joined the $ 100 billion club, which includes companies in the ports, mining and green energy sectors, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
Adani has topped the list of highest-earning billionaires since the beginning of 2022, adding $ 24 billion to his assets in just 3 months.
Adani became Asia’s richest man after the net worth of his compatriot Mukesh Ambani narrowly fell short of that barrier last October, to $ 99 billion.
The undergraduate Indian billionaire initially made his fortune in the coal sector, but over the past two years has seen a strong rally in the transition to green energy and infrastructure by investing in companies such as Total and Warburg Pincus in France.
Sources told Adani that Adani was exploring possible partnerships in Saudi Arabia, including the possibility of buying shares of the world’s largest oil exporter.
Unlike the rich in the United States, Asia’s two richest men – Adani and Ambani – initially amassed their fortunes from the technology sector, but Ambani recently focused on the sector that has become the most billionaire. After its entry into e-commerce and technology, Fortune has received billions of dollars in investments from supporters around the world, including Facebook and Google.
