When Anant Ambani hits the road, it’s not just a journey – it’s a spectacular parade of automotive excellence that could make a luxury car dealership’s inventory look modest. A recent viral video posted on Instagram captured the scion of Asia’s wealthiest family approaching a toll gate in what can only be described as a mobile fortress worth millions.
The star of this mechanical entourage? Anant’s personal Rolls-Royce Cullinan, sporting the prestigious VIP license plate “MH 01 EL 01”, a testament to the family’s penchant for securing elite “01” registrations for their Rolls-Royce fleet. The first-generation Cullinan, featuring an eye-catching dual-tone exterior with a distinguished grey hood, serves as Anant’s chosen chariot – though it’s worth noting that his father, Mukesh Ambani, already has his hands on the Series II Cullinan, making him the first in India to own the upgraded model before its official launch.
But what truly catches the eye is the staggering security detail: 10 Toyota SUVs, 2 Range Rovers, a Mercedes-Benz V-Class, a BMW X7 in an eye-catching blue, and several MG Glosters, not to mention a custom vanity van. However, the billionaire scion travels in an equally big and impressive convoy outside of India.
In a delicious twist of irony, this entire fleet – conservatively valued at several million dollars – wouldn’t come close to matching the value of certain timepieces in Anant’s personal watch collection. When you’re wearing a wristwatch worth more than your entire security convoy, it puts into perspective what wealth truly means in the Ambani universe.
Social media has been abuzz with reactions, with one commenter wryly noting, “My dream car is his security car” – a stark reminder that what serves as a support vehicle in Ambani’s world represents the pinnacle of luxury for many. The sight of this cavalcade approaching a toll booth even sparked spirited debates about whether such a convoy pays tolls – though as one Instagram user quipped, “When you’re Ambani, even the toll gate takes a chill pill.”
This isn’t just about showing off wealth – though the Ambanis have never been shy about that. As the first family of Indian business, their security requirements necessitate such measures. And when your father is worth $116 billion and owns the first of ten Cullinans in India, perhaps a 21-vehicle convoy is just another Tuesday.
The Ambanis’ love affair with the Rolls-Royce Cullinan is particularly noteworthy. While most would consider owning one to be a lifetime achievement, for this family, it’s just another addition to what might be India’s most impressive Cullinan collection. The Series II version in their garage features illuminated grilles and sophisticated LED DRLs that extend to the front bumper – though one suspects it’s not the features that attract the Ambanis, but rather the statement these vehicles make about their position at the pinnacle of global wealth.
