According to Forbes Billionaire Index, India's Gautam Adani has – as of September 23, 2022 – a net worth of $145 billion, and is only behind Tesla's Elon Musk ($254 billion) in the list of world's richest persons. Unsurprisingly, the founder-chairman of Adani Group topped the recently-released IIFL Hurun India Rich List 2022. However, Gautam is not the only Adani on the list; his elder brother, Vinod, is also on it, and has been ranked sixth.
