Hurun India Rich List 2023: Mukesh Ambani reclaims top spot, Gautam Adani 2nd on the list
According to the Tuesday-released 360 ONE Wealth Hurun India Rich List 2023, Ambani, 66, experienced a tiny 2% increase in wealth to Rs 8.08 lakh crore, while Adani’s fortune fell by 57% to Rs 4.74 lakh crore.
The fall in Adani’s wealth was attributed to the Hindenburg report, which was released in January, according to Anas Rahman Junaid, managing director and principal researcher at Hurun. In January, a damaging report on the Adani Group was released by a US-based short seller who claimed that a series of infractions had led to a sharp decrease in the value of the group’s stocks and, as a result, to the promoter family’s wealth being eroded. Adani, meanwhile, has denied every charge.

Among those on the list, 1,054 people had their wealth increase or stay the same, including 278 new entrants, while 264 people saw their wealth decrease and 55 people were removed from the list.
Another finding in the study is that India now has 259 billionaires, an increase of 38 from the year before.
