Adani's jump is not the only one in Bhaskar Research billionaire list: Musk became number-1 from 634 in 10 years ... Ambani reached number-4 in UPA era

Gautam Adani… this name is now the subject of heated debate everywhere from Parliament to drawing rooms of homes.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is raising questions in the Parliament as to how the person who was at number 609 in the list of billionaires in 2014 has reached number-2 today.

However, one thing needs to be clear here that Gautam Adani is at number 11 in the 2022 annual billionaire list.

Yes, in September 2022, for a very short time, he definitely reached number two in the real time list of Billionaires.

According to Forbes' 2022 list of billionaires, Gautam Adani's assets are $ 90 billion, i.e. Rs 7.44 lakh crore.

According to Forbes, in just 10 days, his net worth has decreased by $ 60 billion i.e. about 4.96 lakh crores.

But Gautam Adani is not alone in witnessing these ups and downs of wealth and facing allegations of political connections behind it.

In the list of billionaires, the number 1 and 2 rich i.e. Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos's property boom figures also definitely raise questions.

Elon Musk was included in the list of billionaires for the first time in 2012 when his rank was 634. In just 10 years, he has become number-1 and the net worth has increased from Rs 16 thousand crore to Rs 18 lakh crore.

Jeff Bezos joined the list of billionaires in 1999 and there was a time when the net worth was only $ 1.5 billion. By 2017, his net worth had increased to $53 billion and in 2018 it doubled to $112 billion.

Understand the billionaire ranking of the country and the world's biggest rich and the journey of decreasing and increasing wealth, what is the politics of net worth…

First see, the dwindling wealth of the country's rich and the tricks of politics

Gautam Adani is in the list of Billionaires since 2008… has not yet come in the top-10 in the annual assessment

 

Gautam Adani's net worth had increased to above Rs 12 lakh crore in 2022. This was the time when he reached second place in the real time list of Billionaires of the world.

But the real time list of Billionaires keeps on changing continuously. The net worth of billionaires included in this varies according to the market capital of their companies and their stake in these companies.

Institutions such as Forbes and Bloomberg release an annual list in which billionaires are ranked based on their net worth for the entire year.

Gautam Adani's name was included in this annual list for the first time in 2008. At that time there was a Congress-led UPA government in the country.

In 2008, Adani's rank was 91 and the net worth was 9.3 billion dollars i.e. about 77 thousand crore rupees. In the very next year i.e. 2009, the rank dropped to 397 and the net worth came down to $1.8 billion i.e. around Rs 15,000 crore.

 

Technically speaking, Gautam Adani's name has not appeared even once in the annual list of the world's top-10 billionaires. He is also at number 11 in the Forbes list of 2022.

Shocking growth in 2020-21…net worth increased more than 10 times in two years

Adani Group companies owned by Gautam Adani are listed in the stock market since the 90s. During 2008 to 2019, he was able to join the world's top-100 billionaires only 2 times (2008 and 2011).

The most surprising time of his progress has been in 2020-21. According to the World Billionaires List, in 2019, his rank was 206 and the net worth was 7.23 billion dollars i.e. about 60 thousand crores.

Billionaires list was not released in 2020 due to Kovid. In the list of 2021, Gautam Adani directly reached the 14th rank and his net worth became $ 77.8 billion i.e. about Rs 6.5 lakh crore.
