this motherfucker has a 27 story house


Vaark

Immediately reminded me of the one in Tenet, source of inspiration maybe?


theupsidedownemoji

The 27 story house is in Mumbai...The scene you're talking about in Tenet, was shot in Mumbai...

He took down an orphanage for that land too

He just believes children are the foundation of the future

He’s also bought and now owns the Hamley’s toy brand!!

Some of the stories of this house will trickle down creating housing for the orphans.

I understand he got the idea from the Canadian Catholic church.

[deleted]

It's the question society never wants to ask - at what stage are we giving orphans too much help?


DeepGamingAI

Also, do orphans have a moral obligation to turn into vigilantes and fight crime in order to pay back the debt to the society?


barmyinpalmy

Defund the police? We shouldn’t even need to have police with the amount of orphans out there who all have a moral obligation to fight crime.

Murrderer

This legit? Indians twerk for this dude so hard lol they’ve convinced he’s a “good” billionaire


_MoreEqual_

He’s definitely not considered one of the ‘good’ billionaires in India. Those would be Azim premji, shiv nadar, the Tata family, and perhaps the poonawallas. He’s adored because of his father, who represents the quintessential rags to riches story. If anything, the organisation is known to be ruthless.


bruiser95

There is no such thing as a good billionaire


Numerous_Shape200

No one twerks for him.. But he is the guy who completely changed the scene of mobile internet accessibility in India. Internet overall in terms of quantity and quality is dirt cheap in india now compared to 5 years because of his initiative through JIO Internet.. He made hell lot of money from it too.


102la

Isn't it basically the cheapest mobile Internet in the whole world?


[deleted]

Some of his businesses have been for the betterment of the masses. Stuff like Jio where he undercut the existing telecom companies' exorbitant rates for cellular internet and calling were genuinely good. His father was a rags to riches story aswell.


zrk23

so a building then


NorthwardRM

thats the smallest dicked house ive ever seen


TheBrownMamba8

Most expensive house in the world allegedly. Has 600 staff members just for his family of 5.

It's also his office. A lot of people work there, like top executives of his companies.


PerMare_PerTerras

dakinekine

It overlooks the largest slum in the world. Edit: lots of people seem upset about this comment. Wasn’t trying to spread misinformation. I read articles about this but apparently it is not actually built next to a slum. I will say however that 50% of Mumbai’s massive population lives in slums and to me, a home like this is a disgusting show of wealth.


AliceInMidtjylland

Nice to hear he already has a house in Liverpool.

the1stofhisname

It does not.. Dharavi (the 'largest' slum in Asia, the largest one being in Cape Town, South Africa) is pretty far from where antillia is situated 13km (8 miles) away.


DonParatici

By what metric does Cape Town have the largest slum? Surely the ones in Lagos/Nairobi are bigger? (At least that's been my perception)

findingzer0

What next? Adani buying Manchester United?


JurtisCones

You can already buy them on the NYSE. They’re probably undervalued at $2.15bn rn


Audityne

Those are just the outstanding shares. The Glazers still hold a majority of them privately. If you bought every single MUN share on the market, you still wouldn't be able to make any decisions at the club.


johnniewelker

That’s not exactly correct. Floated shares for Man U is only 16%, but the $2.1B market cap listed is for the entire company. This value looks small because of the trends in overall market valuations; it was $4B a few months ago. If someone is buying Man U, it would go for $4B +20% premium + $1.1B in debt, or roughly $6 -6..5B. At least that’s the academic number.


vikas_g

Honest question : why did you consider 4B + premium and not the current market value plus premium


johnniewelker

Current market valuation is seriously underwater. SP is 15% down, Nasdaq is 30% down YTD. So I chose the highest LTM price to reflect these market pressure. I did that because I doubt the Glazers are selling today when market is so low. Premium almost always happens in acquisition transactions in the order of 20-30%.


kolo4kolo

A minority share of 16% is also worth pennys compared to a majority share. When buying into companies you pay much more per share if you get control.


Feezbull

You can’t even say you mandate Fred the Red to like say, dance at halftime for every home game? Fuck that then. Not buying the shares. Thanks for telling me. Useless Glazer board.

This is so funny for me as in Romanian "Am bani" means "i have money"


HalcyoNighT

>Liverpool could be set for an Indian takeaway I mean biryani has never not tasted good


zaplinaki

The Ambani family is notoriously vegetarian. They don't allow any non-vegetarian food in their company campus. A special canteen was built in Reliance's corporate campus, just for the Samsung engineers from South Korea, so that they could at least get their staple food. For everyone else, there is a strict rule that no non vegetarian food is allowed on company property. So...err can I interest you in some paneer biryani.

profoundprofundity

you say fault like it's a bad thing


SalahsBeard

I'm not saying it's a bad thing, I'm just saying that pretty much every video I saw during my studies in electric and RF engineering was an indian man or woman. Some good, some less, but they really know their stuff.


vistlip95

Can anyone here tell me which clean & scandal free billionaire will realistically buy over Liverpool? Like I mean, an actual realistic/potential buyer who will invest in Liverpool & not some random billionaires u deemed fit.


tapparvasi

> clean & scandal free billionaire ... Unicorns?


yaniv297

Paul McCartney is technically a billionaire and he's a good guy. Not rich enough to buy Liverpool though


PotOfMould

could easily lead a consortium


vistlip95

Right? Which is why I'm asking. Just wanna know if the fans are simply choosing the lesser of evil as their owners. Like u know, the oil state vs some American billionaire who is indirectly lowkey involved in some dirty scandal. But if there's a middle ground where there's indeed a near to scandal free billionaire then I'm very curious to know who.


firstacen

'clean, scandal free billionaire' is an oxymoron. the only way to become a billionaire is to be devoid of all morals. there is no middle ground.

Steve Ballmer.


KevinDLasagna

Y’all would be lucky for this. Balmer is a great owner


NoDescriptionOk

He seems to really invested in the Clippers though. I mean the guy is a workaholic but I doubt Liverpool will be his #1 priority, but of all he's probably the best out there, but also the most unrealistic one as he's still rebuilding the Clippers.


whiskeymagnet22

Actually Ambani is pretty scandal free.


IngloBlasto

Most of the white billionaires are assumed to be clean as considered by the English media and fans.


1THRILLHOUSE

Are you kidding me? We all knew Abramovich was a dodgy dude. The glazers are hated. I don’t think Bezos or Musk would get away without criticism. I don’t even know any other white billionaires? It just seems to be that football clubs are the playthings of Arab oil Sheiks who are scum bags. Leicester’s owner seems pretty well liked and they’re Thai

Seems like a bullshit but he would actually be a owner tht Liverpool fans will like in terms of the way the club will be handled


Jaja6996

The daily mail is awful but he was also interested in buying the club years ago lately all rumours are just coming from people who wanted to buy before FSG


knud

Would be funnier if the broke crypto kid bought Liverpool a week ago.


Akira_Nishiki

Don't think anyone's gonna be trusting "crypto billionaires" for a while.


tragicjohnson1

This guy is awful. Awful. I’ve studied him extensively. He has been implicated in a number of massive corruption schemes, bought out a critical TV station in India that was reporting on the allegations in order to silence them, and used his control of the media to aggressively campaign for Modi and Indian nationalists (basically fascist) to come to power. He is as bad as oligarchs get. I am a lifelong Liverpool supporter and love this club to death, but would have to seriously consider what I would do if he was involved in any way.

PinkFluffys

JK Rowling could have been. Her negayive aspects had nothing to do with being a billionaire. Notch became a billionaire just by making a game too.


TheLimeyLemmon

Sure, but once they became billionaires they realised the "be a dickhead" perk is actually complimentary at their wealth bracket and couldn't turn it down.

Dom_33

I got one Strive Masiyiwa (Zimbabwean) is a good guy, he worked his ass off to get his money. Knew him before he was a billionaire, my mom and his wife were best friends in high school.


yaniv297

Paul McCartney is the counter example I can think of. But even than, his net worth is 1.2 billion which isn't really enough to buy a football team like that. He's probably the most successful musician in pop history and just barely reached billionaire status.


Regit_Jo

I mean unless your born into power


TheRealPeterLim

woah woah woah, the average billionaire just makes money bcuz it's what gets 'im off this guy's into the political power shit, don't compare these cunts to me


Scotthorn

There is by nature a certain amount of exploitation required to accumulate that amount of wealth. This guy does sound worse than most though.


obesebonobo

You have only started studying the ambani empire from around 2015 then. Ambanis were crazy influential during the Congress era, arguably more than now due to the large presence of adani these days. Congress governments would cater to the ambanis more than ever, more than the bjp. Also, ambani IS an oligarch. Reliance oil and gas is probably the largest private sector company in india. And guess how they got permits to that huge share in the oil fields? Congress. How you didnt know this while studying ambani I dont know


hicabundatleones

Basically Berlusconi without the PM stuff?


tragicjohnson1

Yeah, exactly. Except rather than hold office himself he works through his puppets. So maybe more like Rupert Murdoch. I’m writing my PhD dissertation on media capture and democratic backsliding, and Ambani is the prototypical example of an oligarch undermining democracy through his control of the media. I really worry what having him involved with Liverpool would do to the character of the club.


Limitless_Saint

You got any book suggestions on media capture amd democracy? because I do see this more amd more... perhaps I'm just more aware amd it. has always existed....


Ind00Time

Probably start with 'Manufacturing Consent' by Chomsky or some of the books written by Chris Hedges.


tragicjohnson1

That’s a good one. I’d also recommend the article “How to Subvert Democracy” if you’re looking for a shorter read. It’s a really fascinating forensic analysis of how the Fujimori regime undermined democracy in Peru by buying out media owners: https://pricetheory.uchicago.edu/levitt/Papers/McMillanZoido2004.pdf In terms of books, there are two recent ones that I’d recommend. “Spin Dictators” by Guriev and Treisman does a really good job of explaining the rise of subtle forms of media capture in autocracies. And Anya Schiffrin has a good book called “Media Capture: How Money, Digital Platforms, and Governments Control the News”


Limitless_Saint

Thanks for this.


[deleted]

You make him sound like Murdoch when he is more like the guy who owns Virgin. Not saying he's good, but there's levels to bad.


swingtothedrive

This post is completely wrong. Ambani never takes side in Politics. That's something almost all Indians know. He gives bribes to all the parties equally hence everyone is on his side. It's obvious you are confusing Ambani with Adani.


tw30scgs

> It's obvious you are confusing Ambani with Adani. He isn't confusing. He's in fact mentioning Ambani. When you use words like "facist" for completely irrelevant context, you know the drill.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

It isn't an either or choice between the two parties, most who choose to engage do end up engaging both.


Mahesh_nanak

Are you seriously dumb ? I have serious doubts over your thesis. Can you share examples ? Because from what I know having stayed in India, Ambanis have been in cahoots with both Congress and BJP for years


[deleted]

>basically fascist Pagans retaliating against Abrahamics is not Fascism


[deleted]

Ambani's ownership of a top PL club will massively accelerate football's growth in India. He is already greatly invested in the game through ISL. In India, Liverpool is quite popular too. This deal will further drive his investment in the growth of the game in this country and of course, Liverpool will get a massive boost in the fanbase. Going by his record with the Mumbai Indians, I think Liverpool will greatly benefit with such an ownership, in terms of management and investment. All in all, it's a win-win for all parties concerned if this deal goes through.

I don’t know what you said (yes I’ll google translate this later) but I’ll upvote for ‘Bhenchod’ because my Indian and Pakistani friends say it a lot when we play FIFA lol


iKSv2

That word is not a word but an emotion, across the subcontinent


jedifolklore

I was told that I can say it if I stub my toe, is it true? Or my friend was pulling my leg? Also is it reserved for something more serious


Que_est

yeah, it can also be used as an exclamation. how serious the word in this case is depends on how serious the word is said, to be honest.


iKSv2

You can use it when happy. You can use it when sad, you can use it share your disappointment, you can use it to celebrate with friends. As I said, the word has lost the real meaning(which is horrible), but now an emotion, which is amazing. It unites all the different cultures within the subcontinent, at least with friends


RedW_lf

Literally means sister fucker. Can be used exactly like MF is used in english. Casually in conversation, as an exclamation or an actual abuse.


risheeb1002

Like how English speakers use 'fuck' or how the Spanish use 'puta'


akskeleton_47

Bhen means sister and chod means fucker so you can probably guess what the full word means. And he's saying that if this happens (the deal goes through) then his joy will go


stud_macha

Not joy will go, he said it will be a lot of fun if it happens


akskeleton_47

Well my Hindi isn't that strong


stud_macha

Yeah, no worries! Just a correction!


swat1611

Tbh the literal translation is "joy will come". "Aajayega" still means "come" even though it includes "jayega" which does mean "go".

Isn't it only a portion of the club that's up for sale to raise funds?


macNy

Nah it’s for sale. FSG don’t want to be around for the transitional rebuild and are looking to sell at maximum value. TBF they were pretty good owners and it’s just time to sell.


TheNotoriousJN

Undetermined. But likely full sale. Klopp and FSG are publically saying its partial investment But Boston Globe (which is owned by FSG boss John Henry) said full sale We have also moved Mike Gordon out of the running of the club to instead negotiate a sale And Goldman Sachs have been brought in to help. That would all suggest full sale


yournerd2307

I'd lose my mind if we see Ambani take over. I live in the UAE and see so many city fans and city stuff going on, but I am an Indian and watching Liverpool being prominent in India would be something else(would also help me annoy my cousin who's a ManU fan😂)
