Gautam Adani
Gautam Adani is the second richest man in India. A few weeks ago, his wealth suddenly increased by $13 billion, and he also became the richest person in Asia for a short time. His total wealth is $68.4 billion, which includes things related to infrastructure, energy, real estate, logistics and development.
Adani is also India’s largest private airport operator. His company has been dominant for decades, and his personal assets like yachts, trusts etc. pale in comparison to his business. He is also famous for the re-development project of Dharavi slum, in which he has invested about Rs 28,000 crore. This is Asia’s largest urban renewal project. He has benefited a lot from this. Even after the decline, this project kept them in the race for the rich.
