Gautam Adani’s fortune increased by roughly $2.5 billion on Friday as shares rallied across his Adani Group subsidiaries, making him the richest person in Asia ahead of Mukesh Ambani, who briefly held the title. Adani’s net worth swelled to $89.2 billion, ranking him ahead of Ambani and SoftBank’s Masayoshi Son, who held the title of Asia’s richest before shares of the Japanese investment firm plunged on Thursday, according to Forbes’ Real-Time Billionaires list.
