NEW DELHI: Indian billionaire Gautam Adani displaced Bill Gates to become the world’s fourth-richest person.
Adani’s net worth surged to $112.5 billion on Thursday, surpassing the Microsoft Corp co-founder by $230 million, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. The Indian tycoon has added $36 billion to his fortune this year, more than anyone else, while Gates’s has shrunk as he sped up philanthropic giving and tech shares sold off.
