Meet The Newest $100 Billion Man, Gautam Adani Joins Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos And Others

 

Indian industrialist and philanthropist Gautam Adani is the founder of the Adani Group. His company focuses on port development and operations in India. In addition to mining and oil exploration, the Adani Group is also involved in philanthropy.

Here’s what you should know about Gautam Adani. Its founder has made some controversial statements in the past, but that won’t keep the public from being aware of his achievements.

Adani Group

Among the top three industrial conglomerates in India, Gautam Adani’s empire consists of several subsidiaries. A first-generation entrepreneur, Adani is driven by his core philosophy to “Growth with Goodness.” He has focused on nation-building by investing in renewable energy and developing world-class infrastructure. His business interests have a global impact. The Gautam Adani Group is currently expanding its airport business.

Adani Power

When Tata Power and other companies in India began scaling new heights, Gautam’s Adani Power were just missing out on four UMPPs. Then Tata’s UMPP was built in Mundra and Adani Power began building one next to it. Now, Adani has plans for mega power plants in Rajasthan and Maharashtra. It is still unclear whether Adani will reach those goals, but this is an exciting development nonetheless.

Karan Adani

One of the biggest names in Indian business is Gautam Adani. The billionaire is the founder of the Adani Group, which is involved in coal mining, oil exploration, and power generation. In addition, the Adani Group also owns Mundra Port and various special economic zones. Unlike their father, who was in the textile business, Gautam Adani did not attend school, preferring to work in a diamond sorting facility.

Elon Musk

Both Gautam Adani and Elon Musk are billionaires, but the difference between their fortunes is now smaller than ever. According to Forbes’ Real-Time Billionaires Index, the total wealth of the two Indians is now over $100 billion. The gap between Mukesh Ambani and Gautam Adani is only $300 million, and both are worth more than $100 billion. Elon Musk currently leads the global richest list, according to the Bloomberg index. But Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos have both lost more than $4 billion this year.

Jeff Bezos

Billionaires including Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, Tesla CEO Elon Musk, and Berkshire Hathaway Chairman Warren Buffett have made it to the list of the World’s 100 Richest People. Adani, who founded the Adani Group, is now the richest man in Asia. His billions surpass those of Elon Musk and Bezos, and he is only the second person from the continent to have more money than these American tycoons.
