Mukesh Ambani is one of the 10 richest people in Asia and India. He lives in Antilla, the most expensive house in the world with a construction and design cost of $1 billion. Antilla has 27 floors and is exclusively owned by the Ambani family.
Ambani's daughter's wedding was on the agenda with a cost of $ 100 million. Singer Beyonce performed at the wedding. Ambani was widely talked about in the world media with the private plane worth 60 million dollars that he gifted to his wife.
Ambani has a giant holding (Reliance Industries) operating in the energy, petrochemical, telecommunications, textile, mining and retail sectors in India. Ambani transformed Reliance Industries from an energy company into a massive conglomerate.
The digital arm of the holding is Jio Platforms. In India, which has the fastest growing e-commerce market in the world, many large institutions, including Facebook and the Saudi Arabian Wealth Fund, decided to invest in Jio. With a market value of $68 billion in 2020, Jio's market share in e-commerce in India is expected to increase to 48 percent by 2025. Facebook also invested $5.8 billion in Jio.
Born in 1957, he was born in Yemen, where his father was due to his business. Ambani's company, Reliance, was founded in 1966 as a family business. The firm was first producing textile products. After his father passed away in 2002, Mukesh and his brother Anil took over the management of the company.
The businessman, who received his education in India, enrolled in Stanford University for his master's degree in 1980. But later he dropped out of school to return to business. Heading the petrochemical operations of his father's company in 1981, Ambani has been one of India's richest people for many years.
Mukesh Ambani, who got married to Nita Ambani in 1985, has two children. Ambani came to the fore in 2007 with the $60 million Airbus A319 model airplane he bought as a gift to his wife. Ambani, who also owns a cricket team called the Mumbai Indians, is the richest person in the world to own a sports team.
Ambani, who is vegetarian, is a big fan of Bollywood movies. He says he sees movies as a way to escape from life for a short time. Ambani lives in Antilla, the most expensive house in the world with a construction and design cost of $1 billion. In addition to the Ambani family, an army of 600 bodyguards and servants lives in this 27-storey and 130-meter-high detached residence in Mumbai.
