New Delhi: A survey released on Wednesday revealed that 12 Indians, with Gautam Adani at the top, have a net worth of more than Rs 1 trillion in India. Names like Mukesh Ambani, Cyrus Poonawalla, Shiv Nadar, and Radhakishan Damani are on the list.
According to the IIFL Wealth Hurun India Rich List 2022, Gautam Adani has a net worth of about Rs 10.9 trillion, making him the richest person in the nation. Adani made Rs 1,600 crore each day in the last year. He currently ranks behind only Elon Musk and Bernard Arnault as the third richest person on the planet.
Adani was followed by Mukesh Ambani, who has a net worth of Rs 7.9 trillion. Adani earned Rs 5 trillion in the previous year, surpassing Ambani, who had previously been the richest Indian.
“2022 will be remembered for Adani’s meteoric rise. Briskly expanding his commodity trading company into coal–to–port-to-energy conglomerate, he is the only Indian to have built not one, but seven companies with a market cap of one lakh crore,” Anas Rahman Junaid, MD and chief researcher, Hurun India said.
Vinod Adani, the younger brother of Adani, was ranked sixth on the list with a net worth of Rs 1.6 trillion.

Kaivalya Vohra, the 19-year-old founder of the speedy delivery platform Zepto, was the youngest person on the list. Falguni Nayar, the founder of Nykaa, surpassed Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw, the founder of Biocon, to claim the title of “richest self-made Indian woman.”
