After a surge in the shares of his company following the Supreme Court hearing on the Hindenburg report case, billionaire Gautam Adani’s net worth jumped by $5.6 billion.
Billionaire Gautam Adani‘s net worth increased by $5.6 billion last week as a result of his firm’s stock rising after the Supreme Court heard a case pertaining to the Hindenburg report, according to a Bloomberg article.
The rich Adani Group was accused by a US-based short seller of widespread corporate wrongdoing in a report published on January 24th, which caused the business tycoons’ wealth to decline early in the year.
On a number of petitions, however, the top court postponed making a decision last month in order to look into claims of fraud against the Adani company. In its decision, the Supreme Court stated that it would not accept damning media stories about the corporation as the “gospel truth.” The ultimate decision is anticipated.
