Mukesh Ambani is known for his billionaire dollar business empire. He is the richest man in India with a real-time net worth of USD 119.2 billion (Rs 994830 crore) as per Forbes. The 67-year-old continues to grow his wealth. On Wednesday, he added Rs 80,359.48 crore after shares of his Reliance Industries jumped 4 per cent. The company's market valuation jumped by Rs 80,359.48 crore to Rs 20,48,282.28 crore on June 26. The market bellwether stock climbed 4.09 per cent to settle at Rs 3,027.40 on the BSE. 

The record gain comes days before Mukesh Ambani's son Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant's wedding. The duo is set to get married on July 12 at the Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai. Even on Thursday, Reliance shares rose by 0.96 per cent and settled at Rs 3,057 on the NSE.

Reliance Industries is the country's most valued firm by market capitalisation (mcap). The sharp jump in the stock was instrumental in driving the equity markets higher. The 30-share BSE Sensex climbed 620.73 points or 0.80 per cent to settle at a new closing peak of 78,674.25. Reliance Industries alone added 352 points to the rise in Sensex.

Moreover, Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant hosted two pre-wedding parties before their wedding day. The Ambani family hosted a grand cruise party in Italy on May 29 and concluded in France on June 1.
