Mukesh Ambani
Net Worth: $75 Billion
Company: Reliance Industries Ltd.
Country: India
As we all know, many of today’s successful businesses had small beginnings. Among these rags-to-riches companies is Reliance Industries, founded by Mukesh Ambani’s father. After getting his bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering, Mukesh helped his father build the then small company and took charge of its yarn manufacturing project. Today, Reliance Industries has become one of India’s most successful and valuable companies.
Mukesh has since become the second-richest figure in Asia and the 14th-richest in the world. Despite his many ventures, he never undermined the value of saving a fraction of his fortune for his family. In fact, they currently live in Antilia – a private 27-story property with a private movie theater, three helipads, a swimming pool, and a fitness center. To top it off, in case they need to travel around the world, Mukesh also gifted his wife an Airbus A319, customized to feature its own living room, jacuzzi, office, and bedroom.
