Ambani may be out of 100 billion dollar club? Lost ₹59 thousand crores, rich people who lost the most wealth in 2026
Mukesh Ambani net worth 2026: As the new year started, an unwanted record was registered in the name of the country's biggest industrialist Mukesh Ambani. In the last 9 days, there was a huge decline of about Rs 59 thousand crore in his wealth (Mukesh Ambani wealth loss). With this, he also became the rich man who lost the most wealth in the year 2026.
In fact, Ambani had to suffer huge losses due to the continuous fall in the shares of the country's most valuable company Reliance Industries (Reliance Industries share fall 2026). After his shares slipped on Thursday too, his net worth dropped by $2.59 billion to $101 billion in a single day.
Fear of being out of the 100 billion dollar club
According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index (Bloomberg richest list 2026), Mukesh Ambani's total wealth has declined by $ 6.54 billion (about Rs 58.94 thousand crore) since the beginning of 2026. With this loss, he has become the richest man in the world who has lost the most wealth so far this year. At present, Ambani is at number 18 in the list of the world's richest people and remains at the first position in Asia, but if the trend of decline in Reliance's shares continues like this, then he may also be out of the 100 billion dollar club.
