The richest family in Asia should, on the surface, be earning enormous wages from their commercial empire. After all, reliance Industries Limited, one of the biggest corporations in India, is run by the Ambani family, which consists of mukesh, Nita, and their children Isha, Akash, and Anant. However, the reality is very different. You could start to doubt the conventional knowledge of riches after seeing the total profits they brought home for the fiscal year 2024.
 
For the past four years, reliance Industries' chairman and managing director, mukesh Ambani, has not received a single penny in pay from the business. This decision was motivated by his intention to assist the organization in regaining financial stability during difficult times and initially materialized in the fiscal year 2020–2021, during the COVID-19 epidemic. It has persisted into 2023–2024 as well as 2021–2022, 2022–2023, and 2023–2024. Ambani has given up all allowances, perquisites, commissions, retiral perks, and stock options for more than three years. This is an uncommon action for a guy in charge of one of the most influential corporations in the world.
 
Nita Ambani maintained her profits low as well. She was a non-executive director on the company's board till august 28, 2023. In contrast to the riches her family controls, she was paid a sitting fee of Rs 2 lakh and a commission of Rs 97 lakh for her work in FY2024.
 
The offspring of mukesh and Nita also joined the reliance board in october 2023. Despite being developed as the future wave of reliance empire leaders, Akash, Isha, and Anant Ambani received just a sitting fee of Rs 4 lakh and a commission of Rs 97 lakh apiece. The fact that none of the siblings had a set income illustrates the family's dedication to an ideology that puts corporate responsibility ahead of individual benefit.

With a broad range of products and services including retail, telecommunications, petrochemicals, and more, reliance Industries is still a major player in the world economy. Even still, the Ambani family's financial decisions exhibit a startling humility, especially in a time when business executives are frequently criticized for receiving exorbitant pay. The $113.5 billion net worth of the Ambani family highlights a story of responsible leadership, potentially with lessons for global business behemoths. This story is highlighted by the family's caution in taking wages.
