World Richest List: Billionaire businessman Gautam Adani’s troubles are not taking the name of ending. Gautam Adani, who once held the third position in the list of Asia’s richest and world’s richest, is continuously falling in this list.

According to Forbes and Bloomberg’s list of the world’s richest people, Adani dropped out of the top 25 on Wednesday after his net worth fell below $45 billion. He is ranked 26th on the Forbes list and 29th on the Bloomberg list.
