Mukesh and Nita Ambani’s 8 most expensive and extravagant purchases: Antilia’s 168 supercars, a US$73 million private jet, vintage Japanese tea sets – and the Mumbai Indians cricket team

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

Isha’s epic wedding

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.

Nita’s daughter-in-law Shloka Mehta apparently introduced her to the world of teas. Now Nita owns a tea set from one of Japan’s oldest brands, Noritake. The hefty price tag comes in at around US$200,000. Talk about having a brew in style.

Antilia

When you talk about the Ambanis, you can’t neglect to mention their purpose-built, 27-storey home, Antilia – which comes complete with a snow room, ice-cream parlour, three helipads, 168-car garage and 600 staff. Valued at between US$1-2 billion, the house is listed by Forbes as the most expensive property in the world.

Car obsession

Six floors of Antilia are dedicated garages for the fleet of 168 cars belonging to the Ambani family. Among the collection is the customised Mercedes-Benz Maybach 62 Nita bought hubby Mukesh for his birthday – which can reach a top speed of 250km/h (155mph) and is valued at almost US$1 million. Other motors in the collection, believed to collectively be worth more than US$20 million, include a BMW 760i, a Bentley Continental Flying Spur and Rolls-Royce Phantom.
