Two "rich second generations" ambitions
The heroine of this luxurious wedding is 27-year-old Isa Ambani. She is used to being labeled as the "daughter of the richest man". In 2008, she ranked second on Forbes' list of top ten wealthy families in the world. (The first place at that time was the daughter of Indian steel tycoon Mittal)
But she is not a rich second generation who is ignorant. According to the Times of India, Isha graduated from , Yale University, in 2014 and obtained a double degree in psychology and South Asian studies. After graduation, she became a business analyst at McKinsey Corporation in the United States. In less than a year, she was summoned back to India by her family and joined the board of directors of a family-owned company, a subsidiary of Reliance Industries, India's largest private group.
She was unwilling to be "careful" by her family. In 2016, she founded the fashion e-commerce platform AJIO and was determined to benchmark Amazon.
In the wedding reports of major foreign media, there were very few introductions to the 33-year-old groom Anand Piramar. In fact, he is also the heir to billions of properties.
Anand's father, Ajay Piramar, has assets of US$4.3 billion. The Piramar Group he founded involves financial services, real estate, health care analysis and glass packaging, and operates in more than 30 countries.
The richest man in India married his daughter to Anand not just because his family has money, after all, his family is not short of money. According to the Economist, Anand can be regarded as a young talent. After completing his undergraduate degree in economics at the University of Pennsylvania, he obtained his master's degree from Harvard Business School .
After graduation, Anand not only participated in the operation of the family business, but also started his own business and established a real estate company Piramal Realty, which received a stake in Goldman Sachs.
Piramar family and Ambani family have always had a good relationship. Isa and Anand are childhood sweethearts. Anand proposed in May this year, and the two are scheduled to hold their wedding in December.

How did India’s richest man Ambani make his fortune?
The reason why there are so many big names at the wedding is that most of them are invited by the richest man in India Ambani, and Hillary has a good relationship with him. The US Today website said that the Clintons and Ambani have known each other for more than 20 years and have met many times during this period.
Mukesh Ambani is the president of Reliance Group , known as the "Indian Rockefeller". In July this year, he surpassed Jack Ma to become the richest man in Asia.
According to Forbes, Mukesh Ambani managed his business with his father when he was 16 years old. His father Drubai Ambani started from scratch and founded the Indian Reliance Group, which became India's largest private enterprise, with output value accounting for 3% of India's GDP.
Drubai Ambani died in 2002 and left no will. The management task of a company with assets of up to $15.5 billion naturally fell on his sons, and then a play of brothers turning against each other.
Drubai Ambani has 2 children and 2 daughters. The children discussed letting their mother Koziraben take over the entire inheritance. However, the eldest son Mukesh and the second son Anil secretly fought for the power of the group and even went to court.
Finally, the two brothers signed a property division agreement, each in charge of two independent groups. Mukesh quickly amassed huge wealth with the expansion of his petrochemical business.
Mukesh's wife Nita was originally a dancer. They got married after meeting 7 or 8 times, and had 2 children and 1 daughter. After marriage, Nita established an international school in the suburbs of Mumbai and became the owner of the Mumbai Indian cricket team.
On Nita's 44th birthday, Mukesh spent $59 million to customize an Airbus 319 luxury jet as a birthday gift to his wife.
This is not the most exaggerated way to show off wealth. Mukesh spent $1 billion in 2011 to build a 27-storey mansion in Mumbai, with 3 helicopter platforms, garages on the 1st to 6th floors, and a series of sky gardens.
But Mukesh was unwilling to move in because he was devoted to Feng Shui, who believed that this building did not conform to the Feng Shui principles of ancient Indian architecture, and living here might bring him bad luck.
The Telegraph reported that Mukesh has good personal relationships with many celebrities in the business and entertainment industry at home and abroad, and this time his daughter's wedding will surely be full of stars.
