Reliance Industries (RIL) Chairman Mukesh Ambani has become the seventh richest person in the world overtaking Warren Buffet, one of the most successful investors globally, according to the Forbes Real Time Billionaires Index.
As per the latest Forbes data, Ambani’s net worth rose $2 billion on Friday and currently stands at $70.1 billion.
His rise among the world’s richest individuals has been boosted by the recent continuous surge in the share price of Reliance Industries (RIL).
