Have you ever wondered what the lives of the rich look like? We definitely get a glimpse of it from the paparazzi but most of it is hidden from us and we can only imagine how it must be like. So, if you have ever wondered how the Ambani family goes about their daily lives, then this Reddit thread seems to have a lot of answers for you. On this Mumbai subreddit the people who have worked in Mukesh Ambani’s Antilia at any point of their lives, shared their experiences, and this is what it looks like.
Here have a look at it:

1. Take good care of their workers
“Back when I was a hospitality student, I got to work in Antilia for an event. We were paid ₹2500 for a six-hour shift and it was a three-day event. We didn’t have to do much, just had to serve almonds, ice creams, appetizers, juices, etc. to guests. Their criteria, however, was very intricate. We had to undergo a full body checkup and COVID tests. They even put us in a hotel nearby for a week before the event as quarantine.”
2. They are good paymasters
“We are expecting a work order soon. Regarding pay, they are good paymasters; provided that you have all your documents and stuff and compliance as per their norms.”
3. Strict privacy norms
“A friend of mine interned at a company which supplied motors for water. Once he went in there with a senior for maintenance, his job was to see and learn. One thing he told me was that they applied stickers to his camera, which change colours when removed. It was pre-covid, so it was apparently smooth for him.”
4. Antilia has six parking floors including one additional floor for Akash Ambani
“A very well known relative of mine, works in Antilla Building.
He is in charge of maintenance of Vehicles.
There is a entire floor (Floor 6) dedicated for maintenance of Ambani’s vehicle. It’s a well known fact that the building has a six parking floors but there is one additional floor which is totally reserved for Akash Ambani’s personal vehicle’s.
Akash Ambani is fond of cars and he has great passion for restoring vintage Porsche and Ferrari’s. He is the only one in Ambani family who is fond of cars.
Sixth Floor of Parking lot, is for servicing of Vehicles, that’s where my relative is posted. The pay is excellent but it does get hectic. It’s not easy to manage 232 vehicles.”

5. Mukesh and Nita Ambani come to Antilia only when there is an event
“Most of the year, they do not live there. They are either travelling or are at their UK home, only the elder son and his wife are at Antilia. Nita and Mukesh only come whenever there is an event.”
6. Kind to the people working for them
“We had this building security guard a few months back. His elder brother used to/still working at Antilia in the admin department. They’re good paymasters and also very generous in terms of helping the people working for them.”
7. Nita Ambani’s day starts after 12 midnight
“A friend used to work for them and I heard this from her. Apparently, Nita Ambani sleeps in the morning/noon and wakes up late in the night and that’s when their day starts. All meetings with her used to be at 12 midnight or 1 AM and stuff. I’ve heard from someone who works with their cousins that they’re very particular about watching a movie together every night as a family. Cute.”
8. They are always late for gym
“This gym trainer of mine and his team were picked up in the morning and then had to be seated and wait for them to arrive. They usually showed up late, often taking hours to come.”
9. Nita Ambani is a sweetheart
“Neeta Ambani is very sweet and loves her kids. She has a sharp eye for detail.”
10. Mukesh Ambani behaves like a normal person
“My ex-boss worked for MDA (Mukesh Dhirubhai Ambani – his team addressed him that). He told us that he behaves like an absolutely normal person who orders bhelpuri or idlis or vadapav during team meetings. He regularly attends his office strictly on time. Of course, he is not easily accessible. But many times, MDA can be seen standing in the queue for lunch at the Reliance canteen at Navi Mumbai. Needless to say, all the canteens serve the best possible vegetarian spread in a highly neat and clean environment.”
