Correct Answer :   Gautam Adani


Billionaire Gautam Adani has become Asia’s richest person.
 
According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, the coal magnet’s net worth reached $88.5 billion on Monday(7th Feb 2022), eclipsing Mukesh Ambani’s $87.9 billion. Adani (59) is now the world’s biggest wealth-gainer this year, with around $12 billion jump in his personal fortune.
 
Gautam Adani has increasingly looked beyond the fossil fuel for expansion and is moving into renewable energy, airports, data centers, and defense contracting.
 
If 2020 was Ambani’s year when Reliance Industries created billions of dollars in wealth through a technology pivot that brought in Facebook and Google as investors, the pendulum has now since swung toward Adani.
