Mukesh Ambani is the most renowned businessman in India. He even comes in the list of leading successful people in the world. If we talk about the development Ambani Group has made, we all know that Mukesh Ambani left no stone unturned to achieve everything he has today. His hard work is the reason that today he stands at the point where he can have anything he wants. But even after being on cloud 9, he has his feet on the ground.
One of his finest residential with three rooftops, Antilia is the name of the Ambani residence situated in Mumbai. Believe it or not but the building is worth $1 billion i.e. Rs 6600 Crores and has 27 floors. According to reports, Antilia took around 7 years to build and has over 600 working staff. The building has its own theater, swimming pool, and six parking floors which can accommodate around 160+ cars.
Out of these, 2 floors are just for those cars used by the family members. For entertainment purposes, there’s a dance studio as well. The entire residence is studded with expensive stones and mirrors; it’s hard to ignore this sparkling structure at night.
However, the kind of lifestyle their kids received has been unbelievable:
Mukesh and Nita Ambani have made sure to grow up their kids Isha, Anant and Akash in proper guidance to make them better human beings. Though Nita is the wife of the biggest businessmen in the country, she makes sure that her kids don’t get into the glamour of money. Nita herself is from a middle-class family and for going to her college or school, she used to take a local bus.
Rather than sending kids in their personal luxury cars, Nita Ambani used to send her kids to school by the public transport bus. This was to make them aware of the lifestyle and problems of a common man. “Life is about being aware of things around,” says Nita.
During an interview in 2011, Nita revealed that “When my kids were still young, I’d give them Rs 5 each and every Friday to spend in the school canteen.”
“One day, my youngest, Anant, came running into my bedroom and demanded Rs 10 instead,” Nita said.
“When I questioned him, he said his pals in school laughed whenever they saw him take out a five-rupee coin saying,’Tu Ambani hai ya bhikari!’ Mukesh and I couldn’t help but crack up,” Nita added.
As I have already told you that Nita Ambani is from a middle-class family, she narrates, “My mum was a disciplinarian and we were barely allowed to go out – just four times in a year – and there was no pocket money given. Not to mention my curfew, which was midnight.”
Nita is also a kind example of a woman. SHe makes sure that her domestic helpers call her ‘Bhabhi’ and not ‘Madam’!
