Anil Ambani

The younger Ambani brother is currently the chairman of the Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group. His net worth is Rs 43,000 crore, according to Hurun Report, published by a China-based luxury publishing and events group, tracking the uber rich. After the division of the Reliance Group in 2006, he became the chairman of the Reliance Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group, which is composed of high growth companies like Reliance Communications, Reliance Big Entertainment, Reliance Capital, Reliance Energy and Reliance Natural Resources Ltd. However, over the recent period, his fortunes have seen a sharp decline as he has lost more than 50 per cent of his wealth due to the plunging shares of his holdings. Anil has been known to tell aspiring entrepreneurs, “Work till your last breath. Work is worship.” Anil is also well known for his unrivaled toughness in negotiations. Anil follows a disciplined lifestyle and prefers a strict vegetarian diet. “Our businesses span the entire landscape of emerging human aspirations,” is how Anil defines his corporate credo. He is married to Tina Munim, a celebrated Bollywood actress of yester years, and has two sons: Jai Anmol Ambani and Jai Anshul Ambani.
