Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani emerged as the world's top billionaire wealth gainer on November 2 after his net worth surged by $6.3 billion to $88.8 billion, according to Forbes. The wealth increase followed an 11.6% single-day jump in Reliance Industries shares, marking their strongest session in over six years. The stock rally was driven by the conglomerate's September-quarter earnings, which reported a 40.6% year-on-year surge in consolidated net profit to ₹25,548 crore. Strong margins in refining and petrochemicals, alongside heightened profitability across its telecom arm Jio, fueled the performance.
