“27 floors of luxury amidst poverty”: how India’s richest man lives and what angers people
Mukesh Ambani’s name is known all over the world — he is considered one of the richest people on the planet and the richest man in India. His fortune is estimated at about $79 billion, and the main source of income remains the giant Reliance Industries corporation, which generates billions annually.
Despite the fact that Ambani often travels abroad, his main home is in India. We are talking about the legendary Antilia Mansion, a 27-storey building built in 2010. About 600 staff members live in this house, providing comfort to the billionaire’s family. Inside there is a three—storey garden, a swimming pool, a cinema, huge elevators, parking and interiors made in a single copy.
However, Ambani’s luxury is not only admired, but also sharply criticized. Netizens ironically note that people live in poverty and hunger right at the foot of his palace. Nevertheless, the family’s wealth is amazing: world stars perform at family celebrations — for example, Beyonce sang at the wedding of the billionaire heiress.
