Family

Mukesh Ambani is son of one of the most prominent businessmen in India, the late Dhirubhai Ambani, an Indian entrepreneur and founder of Reliance Industries.

His brother Anil Ambani heads Reliance Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group with interests in telecom, power, natural resources, infrastructure and financial services. The Ambani brothers had a well-publicized spat after their father's death, which led to the Reliance Group being split between the two.

Mukesh Ambani is married to Nita Ambani, who looks after the social and charitable arm of Reliance Industries. They have three children: Akash, Isha and Anant.

Mukesh Ambani is currently building the world's most expensive home (valued at $2 billion).[1] This will be a 60-story skyscraper (with only 27 floors) in downtown Mumbai. It may be called Antilia.

His family belongs to Modh Bania, a trading community in Gujarat, a coastal province of India. His mother is Kokilaben Ambani.
