Gautam Adani Net Worth: Gautam Adani is an Indian entrepreneur who has a net worth of $70 billion. A self-made billionaire, Adani now serves as the Chairman of the Adani Group, India-based conglomerate active in logistics, agribusiness and the energy sectors. Gautam Adani was born on 24 June, 1962 in Ratanpol as one of the seven children of Shanta and Shantilal Adani.

The eighteen-year-old Adani took his destiny in his own hands when he refused to join his father's textile venture and moved to Mumbai instead, with only a few hundred rupees. There, he spent two years sorting diamonds at Mahindra Brothers, and then he established his own diamond brokerage business. Off to a good start, he managed to make his first billion within a year. It was in 1988 that he founded the Adani Group, leading it towards success ever since. Today, he is one of the 100 most influential businessmen worldwide, both in the shipping trade and infrastructure industry. The modern Mundra port is just one of the things for which he has been widely recognized and appreciated. 1996 is the year when Gautam Adani set up the Adani Foundation as the Corporate Social Responsibility arm of the famous Adani Group, with the main aim to improve the education and health-care systems in the country.
