Inside Mukesh Ambani’s billion-dollar property empire

Mukesh Ambani, one of the world’s most powerful business owner, could be easily be a real-life version of Crazy Rich Asians.

The Ambani family is the richest family of Asia. Mukesh Ambani — who is chairman of Reliance Industries — is the head of the family. 

The business mogul owns some of the most luxurious properties worldwide. From record-breaking residences to heritage estates and luxury hotels, the Ambani family’s real estate portfolio reflects their influence, wealth, and refined taste.

Here’s a look at some of the most lavish properties owned by Asia’s richest family.

Antilia, Mumbai

Antilia is arguably the crown jewel of the Ambani empire. Located on Mumbai’s Altamount Road, this 27-storey private residence is the second most expensive home in the world, valued at around $2 billion. Designed by Chicago-based architects Perkins & Will, the structure showcased modern engineering with Vastu principles.

The home spans 400,000 square feet and features everything from a 168-car garage and three helipads to multiple swimming pools, a snow room, a private theatre, a spa, and lavish gardens. It stands as a symbol of India’s new-age luxury.

Some reports also suggest that Antilia is worth more than Buckingham Palace; isn't that shocking?

Ancestral Home in Chorwad, Gujarat

The Ambani family’s ancestral home in Chorwad carries emotional and historical value. Spread across 1.2 acres, this century-old mansion is the birthplace of the late Dhirubhai Ambani.

The property retains its Gujarati architectural charm with courtyards, antique furniture, and heritage elements.

Now known as the Dhirubhai Ambani Memorial House, it is partly open to the public and stands as a tribute to the family’s humble beginnings.

Palm Jumeirah Villa, Dubai

In 2022, the Ambanis made headlines by purchasing one of Dubai’s most expensive homes, an ₹640-crore beachfront villa on Palm Jumeirah. Gifted to Anant Ambani, the 3,000-square-foot mansion includes 10 bedrooms, luxurious indoor and outdoor pools, a private spa, and direct access to a 70-metre private beach.

Stoke Park, United Kingdom

Mukesh Ambani further expanded his global footprint by acquiring Stoke Park, a historic 300-acre estate in Buckinghamshire, for £57 million.

The property includes a 49-room luxury hotel, a championship golf course, and tennis courts.

Its rich history and cinematic legacy, including appearances in James Bond films, make it one of the most prestigious properties in the Ambani portfolio.

Mandarin Oriental, New York

In 2022, the Ambani family acquired a majority stake in the iconic Mandarin Oriental Hotel in New York for over ₹2,000 crore.
