Indian billionaire Gautam Adani has regained first place in the ranking of the richest people in Asia with a fortune of $97.6 billion. This was reported by UNN with reference to Bloomberg.
Details
After a sharp drop in his wealth ranking last year, Gautam Adani has once again become the richest man in Asia. This happened a few days after the Supreme Court of India ruled to drop all cases and investigations against the tycoon. The day after the court's decision, Adani's wealth increased by $7.7 billion.
Last year, a report by the American company Hindenburg Research pointed to numerous abuses in the tycoon's companies. After the report was published, the shares of Adani's companies collapsed and he lost $45 billion in two days.
In total, Adani Group lost more than $150 billion in market value last year and spent months trying to repay investors, creditors, repay debts and allay regulators' concerns.
