The Ambanis do things in style – from Isha’s US$100 million wedding to Anand Piramal, to Nita’s customised lipsticks and Mukesh’s luxury yachts and Boeing Business Jet II

Sure, they say they are humble and like to keep things “real”. But there’s also billions behind the powerful and prestigious Ambani family name. And those billions give Mukesh, wife Nita, and children Isha, Akash and Anant (the shy younger son who somehow shed 100kg in 18 months) access to a smorgasbord of high-end luxury goods that most folks can only dream about.

Here are just eight ways the Ambani family have dipped into their humongous piggy bank and flaunted their uber-rich status for all to see.

Mumbai Indians

Price tag: US$100 million

You know how most people spend time saving up for a ticket to a concert or sports game? Well, the Ambani family certainly don’t have that problem, specially when it comes to cricket. Mukesh and Nita actually own their favourite Indian Premier League (IPL) team, the Mumbai Indians, through the family company, Reliance Industries. The club was created in 2008 and less than 10 years later, it was valued at more than US$100 million. #freeticketsforlife

So, you’re getting married. Never mind a Beyoncé playlist, how about having Queen B herself at your wedding? Well, that’s exactly what happened when Isha tied the knot with real estate heir Anand Piramal. The week-long extravaganza reportedly dented Mukesh’s bank account by a whopping US$100 million.
