Mukesh Ambani’s parents are Dhirubhai Ambani and Kokilaben Ambani. Dhirubhai Ambani was the founder of the Indian conglomerate Reliance Industries Limited (RIL).
Dhirubhai Ambani first worked as a gas station attendant in Aden, Yemen. Because of the increasingly unstable political climate in Aden, where Mukesh Ambani was born, the family relocated in 1958 to the Bhuleshwar neighborhood of Bombay (now Mumbai), where they lived in a chawl (a communal building that commonly features low-rent two-room apartments).
That same year Dhirubhai Ambani and a cousin founded the Reliance Commercial Corporation, which grew into RIL from a commodities-trading business that they initially operated out of a one-room rental space.

In 2007, Ambani gifted his wife a $60 million Airbus A319 for her 44th birthday. The Airbus features custom fittings for a living room, bedroom, satellite television, WiFi, sky bar, Jacuzzi, and office, and can carry 180 passengers.
