Dhirubhai Ambani died at the age of 69 in 2002. Since he left no will, his company was left for his sons, Mukesh and Anil. The brothers battled following their father's death, and eventually Mukesh Amani was placed at the head of Reliance Industries.

Building New Business

Mukesh Ambani remains the chairman and biggest shareholder in the family's $100 billion business, Reliance Industries Limited. In 2016, Ambani led the company into the lucrative telecom market when they launched Jio, a 4G phone service.

A Home in the Clouds

Ambani and his family live in a skyscraper that is 27 stories high. This incredible home is believed to have cost Ambani around a billion dollars to construct. That would place it among the most expensive houses on the planet.

Lavish Wedding Events

In December 2018, Ambani's daughter, Isha, married Anand Piramal in grand style. She married the pharmaceutical and real estate businessman at the awe-inspiring family home, following an opulent engagement party featuring a private performance from John Legend.
