Gautam Adani Net Worth: The first six months of 2023 have been tumultuous for the world’s top billionaires. Twitter and Tesla owner Elon Musk’s wealth increased the most in six months, while Adani Group chief Gautam Adani’s net worth fell the most. Within six months, the wealth of the world’s top 500 richest people has increased by $ 852 billion. Each member of Bloomberg’s Billionaires Index has grown in wealth at a rate of $14 million a day over the past six months. Six months of this year have been the most profitable since 2020.
Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg prepare to wrestle with each other, with Tesla chief Musk making the biggest profit in dollars. Musk is currently the richest person in the world and has added $96.6 billion to his wealth as of June 30. While the wealth of Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta Platforms, increased by $ 58.9 billion.
Gautam Adani’s wealth has declined drastically in the last six months. Adani’s net worth has reduced by $60.2 billion from January to June 2023 due to the Hindenburg Research report. On January 27, he got a shock of $ 20.8 billion within a day.
Not only Adani but other industrialists are also troubled by the report of Nathan Anderson’s company Hindenburg Research. Hindenburg has also hit out at billionaire businessman Carl Icahn. The shares of his company Icahn Enterprises fell the most after the Hindenburg Research report. Like the Adani Group, this company was also downsized by Hindenburg. Due to this, Carl Icahn’s wealth decreased by $ 13.4 billion, ie 57 percent. Carl Icahn was the biggest loser on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index in percentage terms.
The month of July has also proved to be very beneficial for Elon Musk of Tesla. Tesla shares rose 6.9 percent on Monday, adding $13 billion to his wealth. The fortunes of the world’s top businessmen have risen at a time when the stock market has witnessed a massive rally. Interest rates have been raised by central banks around the world and the Ukraine-Russia war is still on. However, after digesting this setback, the market is moving forward continuously. The S&P 500 is up 16% and the Nasdaq is up 39% in the first six months of this year. Technology stocks have gained in this boom.
