What is the salary of mukesh ambani?
It's a bit of a trick question, mate. His official salary is actually zero. He stopped taking any pay a few years ago to set an example. Before that, it was capped at 15 crore rupees. I reckon his real money comes from his dividends and company shares anyway.
Mukesh Ambani, chairman of Reliance Industries, has an official annual salary of ₹15 crore. Interestingly, he capped his salary at that level voluntarily years ago, even though Reliance is one of India’s biggest companies. His real wealth, however, doesn’t come from salary. It comes from shareholding and dividends from Reliance. So technically, he earns way more through profits than what his “salary slip” shows.
If you are asking “salary” in the strict sense, Mukesh Ambani draws ₹15 crore per year from Reliance Industries. But you should know: compared to his net worth (over $100 billion), this amount is negligible. Billionaires like him rely more on ownership stakes than salary.
Ambani’s salary as company chairman was once reported to be ₹38 crore, but he reduced it voluntarily to ₹15 crore around 2008–2009 and kept it unchanged since then. So officially: ₹15 crore annual package.
I think the interesting part is not his salary, but the fact that he kept it fixed for over a decade. Unlike some corporate leaders who keep increasing their salaries, Ambani decided not to take more, especially when company wanted to maintain optics during economic slowdown.
As of latest disclosures, Ambani takes home ₹15 crore annually as salary. Nothing more, nothing less. But if you check Reliance’s annual reports, you’ll see his dividend income and business profits are way bigger. So don’t confuse salary with income.
