Adani, Ambani drop out of elite $100-billion club
Financial Express Kochi|December 17, 2024
HE'S BEEN FIGHTING to shore up investor confidence after short seller Hindenburg Research last year published a report accusing the firm of fraudulent practices.

Adani, who has denied both charges, has vowed to fight on. He said at an event after the US allegations that the firm is committed to "world-class regulatory compliance" and that each attack against the company "only makes us stronger".

The charges are likely to weigh on the group—and its share price—heading into the new year. Adani's fortune peaked at $122.3 billion in June after he'd worked to bolster finances following Hindenburg's attack. Those gains have now evaporated after the US allegations, and he's now worth $82.1 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.

The wealth of Ambani, Asia's richest man, has also taken a tumble, if perhaps in a less dramatic and public way. It peaked at about $120.8 billion in July. But his fortune now stands at $96.7 billion as of December 13.
