Furthermore according to Forbes, his net worth is estimated to be around $8.7 billion as of August 2018.

Apparently Adani is the president of the Adani Foundation, the corporate social responsibility arm of the Adani Group and it was founded in 1996. Further other than Gujarat, the Foundation operates in the states of Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Himachal Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, and Odisha. Hence the Group works on the following sectors like Education, Community Health, Rural Infrastructure Management, and Sustainable Livelihood Management.
Moreover Adani is married to Priti Adani. He likes to read, especially books by Robin Sharma and perhaps he had enrolled in a bachelor's degree in commerce at Gujarat University, but dropped out after the second year. Adani was keen on business, but not his father's textile business.
