Here’s what you need to know about these rich Indians and their lavish London pads.

Mukesh Ambani

Worth just under US$100 million on a bad day, Mukesh Ambani sure has his pick of where to stay in the world. Recently, there were reports that the 64-year-old businessman and his family would be relocating away from India to Stoke Park, London, after they bought a country club there. It has a golf course, 13 tennis courts and private gardens, and is a heritage property. However, his company Reliance said in a statement that such speculation was “baseless”.

Mukesh and his wife Nita have been fiercely vocal about their love of India and are passionate about their country leading the way in terms of technology, sports and business. They currently live in one of the most expensive homes in the world, Antilia, which has a ballroom, snow room, lavish pools, servants quarters and a prayer room.

Priyanka Chopra Jonas

The Bollywood star is currently living in West London while she films for Amazon Prime Video’s Citadel. And she hasn’t been shy about showing fans glimpses of her lavish home on Instagram; it’s decorated in earthy tones with plenty of glamorous touches.

The 39-year-old actress also has an outdoor area where she swims and catches the rare London sun, plus a home office that she often works from.

Lakshmi Mittal

According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, Lakshmi Mittal has a net worth of US$21.4 billion – his extraordinary wealth coming from his US$53 billion steel and mining company, ArcelorMittal. The 71-year-old businessman is probably one of the most famous Indians to own homes in London, because of their locations. In 1996, he bought a lavish home on The Bishops Avenue, known as London’s “Billionaires’ Row”, for US$11 million, reports Insider. Nicknamed Summer Palace, the mansion has 12 bathrooms, six reception rooms, a basement with a pool, jacuzzi and steam room accessed by a glass lift.

He struggled to sell the house after building rights were given to a neighbouring mansion with luxury flats, which would allow neighbours to see into his garden, reports Insider. In July 2011, he finally sold Summer Palace for US$57 million.

The billionaire also bought a 15-bedroom town house on Kensington Palace Garden, a street known for housing embassies.

Adar Poonawalla

Adar Poonawalla is the man behind the Serum Institute of India, the largest vaccine manufacturer in the world by number of doses produced. Insider reports he moved to London’s Mayfair in 2021 and pays US$69,000 rent per week to Polish billionaire Dominika Kulczyk.

GQ India reports that his home is one of the biggest in the area at 25,000 sq ft. The businessman has often referred to London as his second home and said he’d like to have a home in Britain as early as 2006, in an interview with Bloomberg.

The Hinduja family

Carlton House Terrace, the London home owned by the Hinduja family, was described by Forbes in 2013 as a “US$500 million real estate masterpiece”. It is located in London’s Westminster area near Buckingham Palace and overlooks St. James’ Park. Apparently, the home is built on the site of the 18th century childhood home of King George IV and outside the entrance there is a statue of Queen Victoria.

The house has more than 30 bedrooms and is owned by brothers Srichand, Gopichand, Prakash and Ashok.
