Jeff Bezos, Amazon Founder, is currently the richest person in the world with a total wealth of around $180 billion. Elon Musk, the founder of Tesla, secures 2nd position among the richest person in the World. He has a total wealth of $173 billion. These numbers keep increasing/decreasing based on shared value demand. On 9th March, Elon Musk added $25 billion to his wealth in a day due to the surge in Tesla share.
Gautam Adani is one of those business tycoons who talk less in media. Adani is busy with his day-to-day activities. He never replies to the criticisms. He believes in “work speaks” methodology.
In recent months, he has been heavily criticized for his business-related projects. He is facing heat in Australia due to his coal mine project. In India, people consider him the closest business person to the ruling political party. Due to his good relationship with the Indian Government and his impeccable business strategies, he has won different bids to control Indian ports, airports, and coal mines.
