TOKYO -- Indian billionaires have grown richer amid the coronavirus pandemic, thanks to the country's resilient stock market, outpacing Chinese technology tycoons taken down a notch by a government crackdown.
Mukesh Ambani, head of oil-to-telecom conglomerate Reliance Industries and the richest person in Asia, has seen his net worth grow 11% so far this year to $85.1 billion as of Tuesday, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. This puts him in 12th place worldwide, ahead of such big Chinese names as Alibaba Group Holding founder Jack Ma.
