The wealth figures of Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani often remain in the headlines, but have you ever tried to understand the depth of these figures? Today we are going to tell you about a mathematics which is not only interesting but will also force you to think about what is actually called ‘Immeasurable Wealth’.
It is one thing to read and hear about the net worth of Mukesh Ambani, the world’s 16th richest person and India’s leading industrialist, but it is another thing to realize it. According to statistics, his total wealth is 113.5 billion dollars i.e. approximately Rs 10.14 lakh crore in Indian currency. This amount is so huge that if a common man starts counting it, it would probably take his entire life. But the best way to understand the size of this wealth is through an imaginary scale of expenditure. If Mukesh Ambani opens his safe and starts spending without earning a single penny, for how long will the money last?
Money will end in 555 years
Suppose, Mukesh Ambani closes all his businesses from today. No investment, no interest, and no dividend from Reliance. That means their income becomes absolutely zero. After this, they start spending Rs 5 crore every day. Rs 5 crore is such an amount that even an upper middle class family can take their entire life to earn.
The current wealth of Mukesh Ambani is Rs 1,01,40,00,00,00,000 (10.14 lakh crore). If Rs 5 crore is divided every day, it will take a total of 2,02,800 days for his wealth to be exhausted. This figure may sound like a big number, but when we convert it into years, the picture becomes clear.
If 2,02,800 days are divided by 365, the result is 555 years. Yes, even if Mukesh Ambani spends Rs 5 crore like water every day from today, it will take five centuries for his treasury to become empty. This means that many of their future generations can live a royal life without doing any work.
From a thread trader to an empire worth Rs 10 lakh crore
This vast wealth was not built overnight. There is a long struggle and visionary thinking behind this. Reliance Industries, which is today a company with a revenue of $ 125 billion, was founded in 1966 by Mukesh Ambani’s father Dhirubhai Ambani. At that time he was a small textile manufacturer and traded yarn.
Dhirubhai Ambani’s hard work and vision made Reliance one of the largest companies in India. After the death of his father in 2002, the business empire was divided between Mukesh Ambani and his younger brother Anil Ambani. Mukesh Ambani took over the core business like petrochemicals, oil and gas refining and took it to new heights. Today, Reliance’s business is not limited to oil only, but has spread to retail, media, telecom and financial services.
