In Asia, Mukesh Ambani is the richest person after a deal with Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg sent his conglomerate’s stock surging. With its half-billion internet users, India is a key market for Facebook Inc. The US social-networking giant will invest $5.7 billion and will buy about 10 per cent of Ambani's Jio platforms which brings together digital apps and a wireless platform under one umbrella. Ambani’s fortune is now risen to $49 billion, after Reliance Industries Ltd. gained 10 per cent. Reliance chief now finds himself with $3b more than Alibaba’s Jack Ma.
