New Delhi: Indian businessman Gautam Adani has done such a feat in 24 hours that the world has been watching. In a short period of just 24 hours, Adani has regained the top position in the list of top 10 billionaires of the world. Earlier on Thursday, Amazon’s Jeff Bezos overtook Indian tycoon Gautam Adani to become the world’s third richest man, but in a short span of 24 hours, Gautam Adani has once again taken the third place on the list.
Earlier on Thursday, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index report, Gautam Adani’s net worth fell to 118 billion dollars due to the decline in the share prices of Gautam Adani. During this period, Amazon’s Jeff Bezos’ wealth increased by a whopping $5.23 billion, so the world’s top 10 billionaires list saw a change, and Jeff Bezos narrowly became the third richest person in the world.
However, in a short period of just 24 hours, the wealth of Indian businessman Gautam Adani increased again. Along with this, their total net worth i.e. wealth had increased to 119 billion dollars. As soon as he touched this figure, the chairman of Adani Group once again reached the third position in the list of rich people. While with a net worth of 118 billion dollars, Bezos once again landed at number four in the list of rich people.

Last year in 2022, Gautam Adani was the only billionaire who increased his wealth by making sudden earnings. During the year, his net worth increased by approximately 40 billion dollars.

Recently, Elon Musk’s name has been recorded in the Guinness Book of Records among those who have lost the most money.
