Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) Chairman Mukesh Ambani has re-entered the exclusive USD 100 billion club following a significant surge in the shares of the company. The business personality has climbed to the 12th position on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index as his wealth surged by over USD 2.76 billion in a single day. This places him ahead of billionaire industrialist Gautam Adani, making Ambani Asia’s richest person once again.
The robust rally in Reliance shares over the past few trading sessions has contributed to a USD 5.47 billion increase in Mukesh Ambani’s net worth since the beginning of the calendar year.
Reliance Industries Limited witnessed an almost 3 per cent rise in its shares during the last five trading sessions, pushing the total market capitalization of RIL to Rs 18.40 lakh crore. The stock has experienced a 12 per cent increase in the past month.
The recently demerged non-banking financial company (NBFC), Jio Financial Services (JFSL), played a role in Mukesh Ambani's recent wealth surge. JFSL observed a gain of over 4.6 per cent, closing at Rs 251.50 on Thursday, with a market capitalization close to Rs 1.6 lakh crore on the Bombay Stock Exchange.
