Mukesh Ambani Tops Global Wealth Gainers as Reliance Shares Surge After Strong Earnings
Mukesh Ambani, chairman of Reliance Industries, became the world's biggest billionaire wealth gainer after his net worth rose by over USD 6 billion in a single day, driven by an 11-12% surge in Reliance shares following stronger-than-expected quarterly earnings. His wealth increased to approximately USD 88.8 billion, making him Asia's richest person and placing him 22nd-23rd globally, ahead of ByteDance's Zhang Yiming and Gautam Adani. The rally was supported by robust growth in Reliance's oil-to-chemicals, telecom, and retail businesses, alongside Jio Platforms' successful IPO.
