Adani has had an incredible year in the business world. At the beginning of the year, his net worth was a comfortable $75 billion, which was enough to make him the 13th richest person in the world. But since then, his wealth has almost doubled to the figure of almost $147 billion as of this writing. That makes him the second richest person in the world , surpassing Jeff Bezos, as it was already predicted he was on the verge of doing earlier this month.

Adani Enterprises Ltd. and many other companies fall under the umbrella of the Adani Group, a conglomerate founded by Adani himself. Many of its holdings are in the energy sector, including power plants and coal mines. Adani reportedly holds 75 percent of Adani Enterprises stock, having founded that company in 1988 – which is why he’s in such a position to benefit now from its recent stock market spikes.
