Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani has once again become the richest person in Asia after China's Zhong Shanshan lost $22 billion this week, according to Bloomberg Billionaires Index.

The Bloomberg Billionaires Index showed that Zhong lost $22 billion this week, making Mukesh Ambani the richest man in Asia. 

With a net worth of about $80 billion, Mukesh Ambani is now richer than Zhong Shanshan, who is worth $76.6 billion. Zhong Shanshan had previously become Asia's richest person, surpassing Chinese tech titans like Jack Ma.

For the past two years, Mukesh Ambani has lead the ranking of Asia's richest people. But, Zhong Shanshan grabbed the title of Asia's richest person from Mukesh Ambani after the listing of his two companies. By early 2021, Zhong Shanshan was the sixth-wealthiest person on Earth.
