Gautam Adani who is the third richest man in the world went on to take over the first spot on Forbes’s 2022 list of India's 100 richest Indian. According to Forbes, the success was mainly owing to infrastructure mogul Gautam Adani's record-breaking achievement, which altered the hierarchy at the top for the first time since 2008. Even while the stock market was slightly lower than it was a year earlier, the main drag on wealth growth was a weaker rupee, which fell by 10% over that time. And as per the data of Forbes, the combined wealth of the top 10 affluent people is $385 billion.
