Introduction<\/strong>

Indian billionaires have once again made a strong presence on the global stage, with Gautam Adani emerging as the biggest wealth gainer and Mukesh Ambani retaining his position as Asia\u2019s richest person. The Hurun Global Rich List 2025 highlights the changing dynamics of wealth among India\u2019s top business tycoons.

Gautam Adani\u2019s Wealth Surge<\/strong>

Billionaire industrialist Gautam Adani, chairman of the Adani Group, saw a significant increase in his net worth, gaining nearly Rs 1 lakh crore (13%) over the past year. This increase pushed his total wealth to Rs 8.4 lakh crore, making him the second-richest Indian in the world.

Adani\u2019s wealth rise is attributed to the strong performance of his infrastructure, energy, and logistics businesses, which have expanded significantly in both domestic and global markets.

Mukesh Ambani\u2019s Wealth Decline but Still Asia\u2019s Richest<\/strong>

Mukesh Ambani, chairman of Reliance Industries, experienced a Rs 1 lakh crore drop in his net worth, bringing it down to Rs 8.6 lakh crore. This decline is primarily due to rising debt levels at Reliance.

Despite the setback, Ambani remains the richest person in Asia, ahead of Adani, and continues to dominate India\u2019s business landscape with diversified investments across telecom, retail, and energy.
