Mukesh Ambani's Fortune Catching Up to Wang Jianlin's: Chart

(Bloomberg) -- Between billionaires, $300 million isn't much. It's also what separates the net worth of Mukesh Ambani, Asia's third-richest person, from the second richest, Wang Jianlin. Ambani has added $8.4 billion this year, swelling his fortune to $31.2 billion, thanks to a 33 percent surge in his Reliance Industries Ltd. Jack Ma, the founder of Alibaba Group Holding Ltd., sits atop the list in Asia, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
