TIL Desk/Business/Chennai/ Despite an erosion of 20 per cent or $21 billion in wealth, Reliance Industries’ Chairman and Managing Director Mukesh Ambani continues to be at the top 10 wealthiest individuals in the world with a wealth of $82 billion, states the 2023 M3M Hurun Global Rich List.

For the third consecutive year, Ambani retained the wealthiest Asian title. With a 35 per cent decrease or $28 billion in wealth to $53 billion, Gautam Adani & family, of Adani Group slipped to 23rd rank in the world’s wealthiest from the last year’s second rank. Adani also lost the second richest Asian title in 2023.
