Unbelievably expensive things Mukesh Ambani bought last year

Regardless of what’s happening across the globe, Mukesh Ambani was ruling the headlines for all things good and productive last year. Not only on the business front, but Ambani was also moving upwards on the personal front. The business tycoon became a grandparent to Isha Ambani’s twins, got his younger son, Anant Ambani, engaged and had a few more happy moments in 2022. With this, his growing business added more value to his net worth which allowed Mukesh Ambani to add more assets to his already long list of expensive things he owns.

As of 2022, Mukesh Ambani’s staggering net worth is approximately US $89.3 billion (INR 7,39,760 crores). He is the world’s eighth-richest person and India’s second-richest person after Gautam Adani currently. 2022 was a year where Mukesh Ambani made quite some investments in expensive things including several mansions, wheels and more. Let’s take a look at his purchases in 2022.
