Gautam Adani, the Indian businessman, is quickly climbing positions in the millionaire rankings, surpassing millionaires such as the American Jeff Bezos and the Frenchman Bernardo Arnault and family.
Adani started to hit the charts this year and is already in second position, drawing attention because it is the first time that a person from Asia has appeared so high in both wealth indices, traditionally dominated by entrepreneurs from US technology companies.
The fortune of the founder of Amazon, Jeff Bezos, has been reduced by movements in the markets that have affected technology companies, while Andani is on the rise and that has moved the board of millionaires.
