New Delhi (CNN Business)India's Gautam Adani has overtaken his fellow countryman Mukesh Ambani to become the wealthiest person in Asia, according to Bloomberg's list of the world's richest people.
The 59-year-old founder of Adani Group controls companies ranging from ports and aerospace to thermal energy and coal, and now has a net worth of US$88.5 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
Like other billionaires around the world, Adani has seen his wealth skyrocket during the pandemic. He was worth less than US$40 billion at this time last year. With this massive spike, he has overtaken India's energy-to-tech entrepreneur Mukesh Ambani, to become the world's 10th richest person.
