Meet Asia's Richest Man

Gautam Adani, with a net worth of over $118 billion, is a prominent figure in the business world, ranking above Bill Gates and just below Jeff Bezos. His wealth is largely derived from the Adani Group, a major player in Indian infrastructure and coal trading. Adani began his career as a diamond trader, becoming a millionaire by 20, and later founded the Adani Group in 1988. Initially focused on agricultural products, the company expanded into mining and power generation during India's economic boom in the 90s. Despite facing adversities, including a kidnapping and criticism for his ties with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Adani remains a humble figure according to those close to him.
