Although he has never been an executive at any major corporation or government post in India or abroad, his companies have been involved in industries such as energy production and telecommunications since early stages. In Forbes 2015 list of The World's Billionaires he placed at number 95 with wealth valued at $34 billion US dollars.

He is also one of India’s richest people with a net worth of $30 billion as per Forbes magazine's list of billionaires released on May 1st 2018.
Gautam Adani became India's richest person after he overtook Mukesh Ambani by becoming a part of Forbes' list for 30 years running until 2018 (he was ranked at number 26 on this list).

His father had started his own textile business after migrating from Persia while his mother was born into a merchant family who owned several companies including hotels in Bombay city.
Mittal studied at Cathedral & John Connon School where he excelled academically but struggled socially because he did not fit in with other students due to being overweight at school age; this led him later on during college days via motivational techniques such as self-help books like Think & Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill which helped him overcome these problems when trying out different career paths after graduation instead becoming an accountant like most Parsis tend do until today owing largely due its success rates among young people looking for employment opportunities within India today
