Adani Group chairman Gautam Adani and Reliance Industries owner Mukesh Ambani are now on equal status in terms of assets. The assets of both are Rs 6.63-6.63 lakh crore. In dollars, it is $89 billion. The two business leaders are now the richest and on equal status in Asia.
On Wednesday, the total market capitalization of Adani Group firms stood at Rs 10 lakh crore. At the same time, the market cap of Reliance Industries came down to Rs 14.91 lakh crore. Reliance is ahead in terms of market cap, but Gautam Adani's stake in his own companies is higher than Ambani's stake in Reliance Group companies. Because of this, he had become richer than Ambani one day, but now both are on equal status.
Mukesh Ambani holds a 50.61% stake in Reliance Industries while Adani holds a 70.59% stake in his companies. His stake in 3 companies of Adani is 74.92%, in one company it is 74.80 and in the other 2 companies, it is 60-64%. Market capitalization is calculated by multiplying the number of shares by the current price of the share. Whereas the net worth is the value after deducting the liabilities from the assets of the individual or corporation.
