India's richest promoter and billionaire Mukesh Ambani continues to see steady rise in net worth, thanks to a rally in the share price of Reliance Industries (RIL). Ambani entered the $100-billion club as the value of his family stake in RIL surpassed the $100-billion mark.

The Ambani family's 49.14-per cent stake in RIL was worth around $107 billion on Friday, while the company's market capitalisation (m-cap) reached $218 billion, according to numbers from the Capitaline database. This includes the company’s partly paid shares.
