Mukesh Ambani

Mukesh Dhirubhai
Ambani (born 19 April 1957) is an
Indian billionaire businessman,
and the chairman, managing
director, and largest shareholder
of Reliance Industries Ltd. (RIL),
a Fortune Global 500 company
and India's most valuable
company by market value.
[5]
 According to Forbes, he is the
richest person in Asia with a net
worth of US$87.4 billion[6] and the
10th richest person in the world, as
of 15 June 2021

Early Life :
Mukesh Dhirubhai Ambani was born on 19 April 1957 in the
British Crown colony of Aden (present-day Yemen) to Dhirubhai
Ambani and Kokilaben Ambani. He has a younger brother Anil
Ambani and two sisters, Nina Bhadrashyam Kothari and Dipti Dattaraj
Salgaonkar.
Ambani lived only briefly in Yemen, because his father
decided to move back to India in 1958[8] to start a trading business
that focused on spices and textiles. The latter was originally named
"Vimal" but later changed to "Only Vimal."[9] His family lived in a
modest two-bedroom apartment in Bhuleshwar, Mumbai until the
1970s.[10] The family's financial status slightly improved when they
moved to India but Ambani still lived in a communal society, used
public transportation, and never received an allowance.[11] Dhirubhai
later purchased a 14-floor apartment block called 'Sea Wind'
in Colaba, where, until recently, Ambani and his brother lived with
their families on different floors

Education :
Ambani attended the Hill Grange High School at Peddar
Road, Mumbai, along with his brother and Anand Jain, who later
became his close associate.[13] After his secondary schooling, he
studied at the St. Xavier's College, Mumbai.[14] He then received a BE
degree in Chemical Engineering from the Institute of Chemical
Technology.[15][16]
Ambani later enrolled for an MBA at Stanford University, but
withdrew in 1980 to help his father build Reliance, which at the time
was still a small but fast-growing enterprise.[17] His father felt that real-
life skills were harnessed through experiences and not by sitting in a
classroom, so he called his son back to India from Stanford to take
command of a yarn manufacturing project in his company.[11]
Ambani has been quoted as saying that he was influenced
by his teachers William F. Sharpe and Man Mohan Sharma because
they are "the kind of professors who made you think out of the box.

Career
In 1981 he started to help his father Dhirubhai Ambani run
their family business, Reliance Industries Limited. By this time, it had
already expanded so that it also dealt in refining and petrochemicals.
The business also included products and services in retail and
telecommunications industries. Reliance Retail Ltd., another
[19]
subsidiary, is also the largest retailer in India.  Reliance's Jio has
earned a top-five spot in the country's telecommunication services
since its public launch on 5 September 2016.
As of 2016, Ambani was ranked 36 and has consistently
held the title of India's richest person on Forbes magazine's list for the
past ten years.[20] He is the only Indian businessman on Forbes' list of
the world's most powerful people.[21] As of October 2020, Mukesh
Ambani was ranked by Forbes as the 6th-wealthiest person in the
world.[22] He surpassed Jack Ma, executive chairman of Alibaba
Group, to become Asia's richest person with a net worth of $44.3
billion in July 2018. He is also the wealthiest person in the world
outside North America and Europe.[23] As of 2015, Ambani ranked fifth
among India's philanthropists, according to China's Hurun Research
Institute.[24] He was appointed as a Director of Bank of America and
became the first non-American to be on its board.[25]

Through Reliance, he also owns the Indian Premier
League franchise Mumbai Indians and is the founder of Indian Super
League, a football league in India.[26] In 2012, Forbes named him one
of the richest sports owners in the world.[27] He resides at the Antilia
Building, one of the world's most expensive private residences with its
value reaching $1 billion
