Mukesh Ambani, the richest man in Asia, is often assumed to have been born in India, but that's not the case.
He was actually born in Aden, a port city in Yemen.
Aden is located in the southern part of Yemen, a predominantly Muslim country on the Arabian Peninsula.
Mukesh Ambani's birthdate is April 19, 1957.
His father, Dhirubhai Ambani, was working in Aden at the time, employed as a gas station attendant.
The family moved back to India in the late 1950s as Dhirubhai pursued new business ventures.
Mukesh Ambani spent most of his childhood growing up in Mumbai.
He now leads Reliance Industries, one of India's largest conglomerates, with vast influence across various sectors.
