Millionaires and billionaires

  • The chairman of Raymond Group, the world’s largest producer of fabric, has built India’s second-tallest private building after Mukesh Ambani’s Antilia
  • The first Indian to win in the amateur Ferrari Challenge Europe series, he owns two 10-berth yachts, including a rare teak boat that Liz Hurley once partied on

Gautam Singhania is the chairman and managing director of the Raymond Group, the world’s largest producer of suit fabric. He has many millions (his net worth is estimated at US$1.4 billion) to his name and is therefore considered a “Bollygarch”, or a multimillionaire who hails from India.

Singhania is known for his extravagant lifestyle, flaunting his wealth on his Instagram page for all his followers to see. India Today reports that the industrialist loves fashion and has said should he be given the chance, he would dress the world in shirts, trousers and jackets sold by his company. He’s also a known collector of luxury cars and is often on the racetrack honing his driving skills. More than anything, says the publication, Singhania loves money, but how does he choose to spend it? From private jets to fast cars, here’s a glimpse into Singhania’s ultimate luxury lifestyle.

India’s most impressive car collection?

Singhania has one of the most impressive car collections in India, rivalling that of fellow billionaire businessman Mukesh Ambani and family. His collection includes a Lamborghini Gallardo LP570 Superleggera, Lotus Elise convertible, Nissan Skyline GTR, Honda S2000, Ferrari 458 Italia and Audi Q7. He established India’s first supercar club and built the country’s first drift track too.

According to Zigwheels, in 2015, he became the first Indian to win a race in the Ferrari Challenge Europe series, a race for amateur drivers.

It might not be the Ambanis’ Antilia, but it comes pretty close (and looks rather similar even). Singhania’s JK House has become a tourist attraction in its own right. His home in South Mumbai is the second-tallest private building in India after Antilia, reports India’s Architectural Digest.
