How does Mukesh Ambani – India’s richest man – and his family spend their US$50 billion fortune?
Ambani, his wife Nita, and their three children – Akash, Isha, Anant – are not shy about flashing the cash
With nearly US$50 billion, the Ambani family is the richest in Asia – and they never hesitate to show off their wealth. From gorgeous homes to impressive charitable contributions, the Ambanis make the most of their fortune. Here’s how they spend their money.
Antilia
The Ambanis have multiple homes but the crown jewel of their real estate holdings is Antilia, the 27-story skyscraper in Mumbai that allegedly cost US$1 billion to build. The home features 600 full-time staff, three helipads, a garden that spans three floors, swimming pools and gorgeous ballrooms – and it’s said to be the second most expensive property in the world (behind only Buckingham Palace).
Cars
Mukesh Ambani has used his massive wealth over the years to amass a fleet of luxury cars. The cars in his collection include a Mercedes Maybach 660 Guard, BMW 760 Li, Bentley Continental Flying Spur and a Rolls-Royce Phantom. Several of them are among the most expensive on the market. They also feature bulletproof coating to ensure that the family stays safe wherever their travels take them.
Weddings
It’s been a celebratory couple of years for the Ambanis. In 2018, their eldest daughter Isha married Anand Piramal in a gorgeous ceremony. The wedding reputedly cost nearly US$100 million and featured stunning decorations, a private concert by Beyoncé and plenty of charter flights to fly in the Clintons, Nick Jonas and his wife Priyanka Chopra, and other celebrities. That doesn’t count the engagement party and pre-wedding ceremonies which the Ambanis hosted.
