Inside Mukesh Ambani’s latest extravagant car splurge: Asia’s second richest man just dropped millions on two Rolls-Royces for Diwali, adding to Antilia’s 168-car garage of Mercedes-Benzes and Ferraris

The mega-wealthy Ambani family – whose patriarch Mukesh Ambani has an estimated net worth of US$85 billion, per Forbes – is known for spending big when it comes to cars. The family added to its mega garage on October 15, acquiring two new luxury Rolls-Royces ahead of India’s biggest holiday of the year, Diwali, per Cartoq.

Known as the festival of lights, Diwali is celebrated over five days and celebrants traditionally place lights outside their homes to symbolise the inner light that protects them from spiritual darkness, per The National Geographic. The festival celebrates good triumphing over evil and ushers in a new start, as it also kicks off a new year according to the Hindu Lunar calendar. Diwali will start on October 24 this year.

The Ambani family are known to be devout Hindus and have previously hosted Diwali celebrations at their home in Mumbai, according to Bollywoodshaadis.
