On Feb. 3, Zuckerberg’s net worth collapsed by $29 billion as the company’s shares dropped by at least 26%, degrading over $200 billion. This came after the firm reported its first-ever drop in Facebook users in the fourth quarter of 2021. This was the most significant single-day drop in the market value of a US-based company till date.
According to Forbes, Zuckerberg is now the world’s 12th richest man. His total net worth has dropped to $84.8 billion, compared to $89.5 billion and $90.5 billion for Ambani and Adani, respectively.
Adani’s net worth has nearly doubled since Forbes published its annual World’s Billionaires list in April 2021, when he was valued $50.5 billion. Ambani’s net worth rose by just 6.5% from $84.5 billion last April during the same period. Shares of Reliance Industries, which has oil, petrochemicals, retail, and telecom businesses, fell 1.47% on Thursday and are down 2.3% so far in 2022.

Adani comes from Gujarat, a state in western India. In 1988, he dropped out of college to start Adani Enterprises, a commodities exporter. He soon expanded his firm to include port management, power generating, and solar power, among other things. Narendra Modi, who was the chief government of Gujarat before becoming Indian Prime Minister, appears to have supported Adani Group’s expansion. Adani Group purchased a 74% share in Mumbai International Airport, India’s second busiest, in September 2020.
