Global billionaire rankings saw a dip for several top names this week, with Oracle founder Larry Ellison suffering the largest decline. However, domestic markets in India received a major boost from Bihar’s exit polls, which signaled a strong performance for the NDA.
The surge in Indian share markets particularly benefited Gautam Adani. Shares across the Adani Group saw significant gains, with flagship company Adani Enterprises jumping 4.98%. As a result, the net worth of Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani increased by $2.15 billion (approximately ₹1,90,55,52,52,500). According to Bloomberg Billionaires Index, Adani’s net worth now stands at $90.8 billion, making him the 19th richest person globally. In 2025 alone, his wealth has risen by $12.1 billion.
Adani Group, a conglomerate with diverse business interests, recently announced its entry into the battery storage sector, further expanding its industrial footprint.
Meanwhile, six of the world’s top 10 billionaires saw declines in their net worth this week. Oracle founder Larry Ellison experienced the steepest fall of $9.64 billion, bringing his wealth to $285 billion. Other notable losses include Elon Musk ($6.47B), Jeff Bezos ($4.2B), Larry Page ($3.37B), Sergey Brin ($3.09B), and Mark Zuckerberg ($6.14B).
