Gautam Adani, Chairman of the Adani Group, has seen the maximum wealth addition among all the richest Indians this year. Even he has pipped Asia's richest man and the chairman of Reliance Industries, Mukesh Ambani in wealth addition. 

As per Bloomberg Billionaire Index, Gautam Adani's wealth has surged by  USD19.1 billion this year, bigger than  USD16.4 billion added by Mukesh Ambani in 2020 so far. In rupee terms, Adani has added Rs 1.41 lakh crore to his wealth in the first 10-and-half months of 2020 or nearly Rs 449 crore every day. Adani is the world's ninth-biggest wealth creator, ahead of Steve Ballmer, Larry Page and Bill Gates.

Adani's wealth has increased to  USD30.4 billion this year, making him the 40th richest person in the world. On the other hand, Mukesh Ambani's total wealth now stands at  USD75 billion after adding  USD16.4 billion this year. He is now the 10th richest in the world according to Bloomberg Billionaire Index.

The surge in Adani's wealth this year has been possible due to the rise in the share prices of Adani Green, Adani Enterprises, Adani Gas and Adani Transmission.
