Gautam Adani is one step away from entering the Top 3 billionaires, soon to overtake Jeff Bezos

Adani top 3 richest

For the last 3 decades, stock analysts have told long-term investors to put their money in tech stocks. “Tech is the future”, they have been saying. That is why Gautam Adani’s entry into the top billionaire chart can be termed as breaking the glass ceiling. The man will soon become one of the top 3 richest persons in the world.

Adani inches closer to Bezos

According to Forbes Real Time Billionaire list, Gautam Adani, the main catalyst of India’s infrastructure drive, is inching closer to Jeff Bezos. At the time of writing, Gautami Adani’s net worth was $130.1 billion. It is now only $38.1 billion lower than that of American E-commerce and tech giant Jeff Bezos.

Despite the failed Twitter deal, Elon Musk is still sitting comfortably at the top with a net worth of $279.3 billion. Adani’s Desi competitor Mukesh Ambani is at number 10 with a net worth of $93 billion. Larry Page and Sergey Brin are at number 8 and 9 respectively. George Soros, the infamous billionaire known for his attempts to topple governments, is occupying the 230th position on the list.

Few years back, Adani was not even in the race for being Asia’s top billionaire. But, his emphasis on infrastructure has made him what he is today.

Benefiting from Minimum Government, Maximum Governance

As they say, with great power comes great responsibility. Adani has taken it upon himself to shoulder that responsibility. He has decided to take PM Modi’s infrastructure push to a whole new level. Recently, Gautam Adani himself announced that the business group will invest Rs 70,000 crores in Yogi Adityanath’s Uttar Pradesh.

For this very purpose, Adani has been focussing on eliminating supply-chain bottlenecks by buying stakes in the whole chain. Because it will be a highly centralised chain, there is a fear that the push could lead to corruption and monopoly.

The fears are true, but business is a bit different from governance. Profits rule the rooster rather than appeasement, and henceforth, there are fewer chances of the system getting corroded. This is similar to what the Japanese did with their system in the years after the devastation of the Second World War. The strategy will most likely reap dividends just like it did for the Japanese as well.
