$100 Bn Club: No Indian On The List
No Indian is in the $100Bn club, with Mukesh Ambani and Gautam Adani having dropped out of the list after their net worths reduced to $96.7B and $82.1B respectively.Both Mukesh Ambani, chairman of conglomerate Reliance Industries Ltd, and fellow tycoon Gautam Adani, founder of the Adani Group , are now facing multiple threats that are hitting their businesses — and their immense personal wealth. Ambani’s energy and retail businesses have been underperforming amid rising investor concern about debt, while Adani’s empire was rocked by a US Department of Justice probe that threatens to squeeze funding and make it harder to win contracts. And it’s still not clear if the worst is over for either.
For Adani, the move by US prosecutors in November over alleged bribery was an unwelcome return to the international media spotlight. He’s been fighting to shore up investor confidence after short seller Hindenburg Research last year published a report accusing the firm of fraudulent practices. Adani, who has denied both charges, has vowed to fight on. He said at an event after the US allegations that the firm is committed to “world-class regulatory compliance” and that each attack against the company “only makes us stronger.”
The charges are likely to weigh on the group — and its share price — heading into the new year. Adani’s fortune peaked at $122.3 billion in June after he’d worked to bolster finances following Hindenburg’s attack. Those gains have now evaporated after the US allegations that he oversaw bribes to Indian government officials, and he’s now worth $82.1 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
