You won't believe who just became the 11th richest person in the world? Has more money than Mukesh Ambani, Adani, name is...
Years before the advent of digital currencies, Bitcoin's inventor's true identity has remained one of the most enduring mysteries on the internet. The creator of the world's first decentralized digital financial system is known only by the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto, and his identity has never been confirmed.
The anonymous creator of Bitcoin now controls over 1.096 million bitcoins, which is approximately $129 billion, making him one of the 11 richest men in the world, without ever revealing who they actually are.
Satoshi Nakamoto, the unidentified creator of Bitcoin, has now officially made their way into the top 11 richest people in the world after Bitcoin surpassed $120,000 on Sunday. A Cointelegraph report based on data from blockchain analytics company Arkham showed that when Bitcoin debuts over the $120,000 line, Nakamoto's holdings surpassed Michael Dell's, the CEO of Dell Technologies, whose total wealth is estimated at $125.1 billion.
What is even stranger is that Nakamoto has never moved a single coin from his original stack even as Bitcoin ballooned in price. Although the Forbes Billionaires List has not added crypto wallets to it's official ranking, Nakamoto's rising wealth is attracting more and more international attention as the price of Bitcoin climbs.

Big move by Mukesh Ambani as Reliance Consumer plans to acquire majority stake in...
Big move by Mukesh Ambani as Reliance Consumer plans to acquire majority stake in... Asia's richest man, Mukesh Ambani, is set to grow his business even further with new projects and collaborations. The Indian Billionaire is known for investing heavily in various companies and acquiring stakes. Now, his next plan is to acquire a stake in a brand owned by Baidyanath group's Naturedge Beverages. What brand you might ask? It is none other than the premium zero-sugar fruit drink brand Shunya. Reliance Consumer Products Ltd (RCPL), the FMCG arm of Reliance Retail Ventures, is in early-stage discussions in order to acquire a majority stake in the fruit drink brand. Who started Naturedge Beverages? The third generation heir of the Baidyanath group, Siddhesh Sharma launched Naturedge Beverages in 2018. The company offers functional, herb-based drinks under the name Shunya, offering flavours like 'zest apple' and 'zesty orange' to the masses. The Baidyanath Group is a privately held company, which was established in 1917, and operates throughout many sectors, like ayurvedic medicines, personal care, pharmaceuticals and food and beverages. As of now, it is not known how much stake Reliance will buy in the company. How many acquisitions would Reliance have in this industry? If the deal is secured, this would mark Reliance's fourth acquisition in the beverage industry. The company previously purchased Campa-Cola, Sosyo, and RasKik, nd markets the sports drink Spinner. One of the executives mentioned 'This move would allow Reliance to enter the healthy, functional, and Ayurveda-based drink category.' This acquisition aligns with Reliance's strategy of buying stakes in mid-sized consumer brands across various sectors like beverages, confectionary, and condiments. The company's broader portfolio now includes various brands like Ravalgaon, Toffeeman, Lotus Chocolates, and Sil Foods.
