Gautam Adani becomes Asia's 2nd richest person, check where he stands on the global list here

Ambani and Adani are ranked at the 13th and 14th position in the global billionaires' list of Bloomberg.

Adani Group’s chief Gautam Adani has become the second richest person in Asia, surpassing the Chinese bottled water billionaire Zong Shanshan, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.  As per the latest details available on the index, Adani’s net worth stands at $66.5 billion while Zhong Shanshan's total worth is pegged at $63.6 billion. Only Reliance Industries Limited’s (RIL) chief, Mukesh Ambani, is now richer than Adani in India. This means that the top two spots in the list of richest Asian persons are occupied by Indians.  It is interesting to note that Ambani had also surpassed Shanshan to become Asia’s richest person in February this year, at a time when the country has been suffering from an economic downturn. Shanshan is the founder of the Nongfu Spring beverage company and also owns Beijing Wantai Biological Pharmacy Enterprise.
