Asia’s richest person pledges to donate 8% of his net worth as he celebrates his 60th birthday

As the businessman turns 60 on Friday, Indian industrial tycoon Gautam Adani and his family have promised to donate 600 billion rupees ($7.7 billion).

According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, Adani is the wealthiest person in Asia with a net worth of $92.7 billion. This equates to the donation being equivalent to around 8% of his total wealth.

The Adani Group conglomerate was founded by the billionaire. In a tweet sent on Thursday, he stated that the donation would support healthcare, education, and skill-building initiatives to support the creation of “an equitable, future-ready India.” The money will go to the Adani Foundation, whose president he is.

The Adani Foundation, founded in 1996, focuses on philanthropic initiatives in India. According to the foundation’s website, it has assisted more than 3.7 million individuals in 2,410 villages throughout the nation.

Adani has surged above all other billionaires in Bloomberg’s rankings this year as his net worth has increased by $16.2 billion as a result of a surge in the value of his companies’ shares, including Adani Green Energy, which has increased by around 38 percent this year.

He joins billionaires Bill Gates and Warren Buffett in contributing a portion of their money to charitable causes.

A self-made billionaire, Adani. In the 1980s, he left college to work as a diamond sorter, and in 1988, he started importing and exporting other goods. He then used loans to gradually grow into other businesses, according to the Financial Times.

Adani has also endured two potentially fatal situations.

According to The Indian Express, Adani said that a group of men abducted him and his traveling partner, Shantilal Patel, in 1998. Only after their captors obtained the $2 million ransom did he and Patel get free.

Due to a lack of evidence, six men were acquitted of the charges in 2005, according to NDTV. According to a story from Times Now India, two further men who were put on trial in 2018 were found not guilty after prosecutors were unable to prove their ties to the alleged kidnapping.

During the 2008 terrorist assaults in Mumbai, Adani too narrowly avoided dying. When extremists surrounded the Taj Mahal Hotel in the heart of the city, he was there. He took cover in the basement until assistance arrived the next day. 166 people died in attacks across the city.
