Inside the Ambani family’s mega million-dollar property portfolio, from richest man in Asia Mukesh’s record-breaking purchases in Dubai, to their Mumbai home Antilia and controversial UK buy

1. Antilia

You can’t talk about the Ambani family without mentioning their famous home in India. Antilia, the Mumbai base of Mukesh and his family, is a landmark in the region because of its sheer size and remarkable design.

Antilia has been designed to reflect the lines of the lotus and sun. The top six floors are the private residential areas for the family, while the rest of the house is fitted with a temple, a salon, an ice-cream parlour and a private cinema.

The home is a landmark in the area and known to host extravagant parties with celebrities galore. Locals often linger outside Antilia in the hope seeing someone famous.

2. Sea Wind

Before Antilia, Mukesh and his wife Nita lived in Sea Wind with the rest of the Ambani family. The mansion has 14 floors, with every family member occupying a different floor. Anil, brother to Mukesh, stays there with his family today. Their mother Kokilaben has also remained at the house.

This is the building Ambani patriarch Dhirubhai referred to as home, reports BollywoodShaadis. When Mukesh built Antilia, there were multiple reports that he battled to move into the house, preferring to stay at Sea Wind with his mother and brother.

3. Gulita

Housing.com values it at around US$100 million because of its superb location and its facilities that include an open-air pool, gym and temple room.

4. Dubai mansions

Mukesh extended his property portfolio with two massive splurges in just two months. He spent US$243 million on two homes in Dubai, smashing records in the UAE.

His first purchase was a 10-bedroom mansion, reportedly for his son Anant. He spent US$80 million on that home in September 2022. Then, in October 2022, he reportedly spent US$163 million in a record-breaking purchase for a mansion formerly owned by a Kuwaiti businessman. The purchases not only secured land for his family, but also made them a name to be reckoned with in the Dubai’s luxury property market.

5. Stoke Park

Ambani courted controversy with his purchase of Stoke Park, a 300-acre (121-hectare) estate with a golf and country club located in the Buckinghamshire area. Ambani spent US$79 million on the property, which has 49 bedrooms, a golf course and mini hospital. The property was immediately shut down for renovations but, per FT, there have been complaints that members of the Ambani family have used the facilities as personal housing, an allegation the family has denied.

6. The Mandarin Oriental, New York City

At the start of 2022, CNN reported that Ambani had bought a controlling stake in the Mandarin Oriental in New York City. He dropped US$98 million in the acquisition deal that upped his property portfolio rankings. The hotel is near Central Park and overlooks Columbus Circle. It has 248 rooms and is known to host hedge fund investors and Hollywood celebrities, per GQ India.
