INDIA's richest man, Mukesh Ambani, has bought his wife a luxury jet with entertainment cabins, a sky bar and fancy showers for her birthday, a newspaper said yesterday.
Ambani, who owns the country's biggest private company, Reliance Industries Ltd, gifted the $US60 million ($66 million) Airbus plane to wife Neeta on her 44th birthday on Thursday, the Mumbai Mirror newspaper said.
The jet is custom-fitted with an office and a cabin with game consoles, music systems, satellite television and wireless communication, the report said.
It also has a master bedroom, a bathroom with a range of showers and a bar with mood lighting.
The newspaper said Airbus sources had confirmed the sale and the jet had arrived at New Delhi's airport and would be brought to Mumbai soon.
A spokesman for Reliance, estimated to have a market capitalisation of nearly $100 billion, told Reuters, “we are neither denying nor confirming the report”.
With business interests ranging from oil to retail and biotechnology, Ambani is not known to shy away from conspicuous consumption.
He is building a $US1 billion ($1.1 billion) home in India's financial capital of Mumbai, considered to be one of the world's most expensive houses, local media reports have said.
The 27-storey home - for a family of six - with a helipad, health club and six floors for car parking and 600 staff, has awed India's rich.

I wonder what he did wrong.
Great, she’ll be able to fly to about the 10 airports in the world that can support that plane.
She married well!! What a guy!
Now THAT'S a soccer mom's transport !
Where are all the Lib’s with their ‘share’ nonsense? If this would have been about Bill Gates, the libs would have their shorts in knots giving us figures how many ‘happy meals’ could be purchased etc etc
The photo in post # 2 shows an Airbus 320 not the newer jumbo. The 320 is a short to medium range commercial jet. The Air Force 1 747 would dwarf it.
...but do Bramans still cross the street to avoid touching him?
10 airports that can support an Airbus A-320?
Try at least 1000......
This reminds me of the story of how J.P. Morgan was able to have many affairs: by arranging that he and his wife would never be on the same continent.
It’s a A320 ,, not an A380 ... you can put them down and takeoff from nearly anywhere , especially as it’ll have a light load..
That’s the first thing that came to mind also.
I’d ride it (the plane, not the hausfrau....)
So will the treehuggers protesteth this?
If not, why?
