Adani, the world’s fourth richest man, will soon surpass e-commerce giant Jeff Bezos
GG News Bureau
New Delhi, 8th September. Adani appears to be unwilling to take a break from the spotlight. He recently made headlines by announcing his ownership of India’s leading news channel, NDTV, and now he has reached another milestone.
For the past three decades, stock analysts have advised long-term investors to invest in technology stocks. “Tech is the future,” they proclaim. That is why Gautam Adani’s entry into the top billionaire chart can be described as a “breakthrough.” The man will soon become one of the world’s top three richest people.
Adani recently surpassed Bill Gates to become the world’s fourth richest person. After a recent surge in wealth, it appears that he will soon surpass e-commerce titan Bezos. According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, Gautam Adani is the world’s third richest person, as of September 8, 2022. The Ahmedabad-based tycoon’s net worth has increased by nearly $60 billion year to date, to $148 billion.
Adani Goes From Unknown to Number Three
Gautam Adani was virtually unknown outside of India just a few years ago. However, the Indian billionaire, a college dropout who first tried his luck as a diamond trader before switching to coal, became the world’s third richest person this week. Adani, 60, has spent the last five years expanding his coal-to-ports conglomerate by diversifying into industries such as data centers, cement, media, and alumina. Today, the group manages India’s largest private-sector coal miner, city-gas distributor, and port and airport operator. Environmentalists have criticized the company’s Carmichael mine in Australia, but the company pledged in November to invest $70 billion in renewable energy, making it the world’s largest generator of renewable energy.
Only one Asian has done so
It is the first time an Asian has been ranked among the top three wealthiest people in the world. Fellow Asian titans like Mukesh Ambani and Jack Ma have never gotten this far. His net worth has nearly doubled, rising from $64. 8 billion to $141. 4 billion, making him the third-richest person on the planet in a year when many billionaires around the world have lost their fortunes, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
Adani sees acquisition as the new cool
Adani is on a shopping spree if we only consider the year 2022. The infrastructure behemoth is investing in various sectors as if he had figured out his strategy years ago and is now simply acting on it.
To a large extent, this is correct. Adani Group owns the most ports in India and is now expanding into cement, media, and green energy, among other industries. Gautam Adani’s rally does not appear to be coming to an end any time soon. He appears to be the first Indian and Asian to top the list of the richest billionaires in modern history. “Winter is coming!” As they say in America this time.

Gautam Adani, India’s richest man appears to be on a shopping spree. The idea behind these acquisitions, on the other hand, appears to be crystal clear. He is connecting widely differing structures to form more cohesive units. He has created new business strategies that demonstrate that a first-generation entrepreneur can be the richest person in India, bypassing successful generational industrialists.
His pragmatic, holistic business strategy, combined with his appetite for risk, is the primary reason for his economic success. He has demonstrated his ability to speculate on future technology. More importantly, his self-seller and self-consumer strategy through such strategic acquisitions demonstrates his economic dexterity.
