Reliance Industries’ Mukesh Ambani, the richest man in India, has three kids.

All three of his children work for the family business, though they are more widely known for the lavish weddings they’ve had. The eldest are 32-year-old twins Isha and Akash. Isha’s 2018 wedding celebrations included performances by Beyoncé and John Legend.

Anant Ambani, the youngest of the Ambanis, recently made headlines for his own wedding, which included multiple pre-wedding celebrations with performances from Rihanna and Justin Beiber. Guests at the wedding included Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra, Bill Gates, and two Kardashians. Estimates peg the price tag of the event at $60 million.

Michael Dell’s four children — all in their late 20s and early 30s — were raised in Austin, Texas, far from Silicon Valley, but that hasn’t kept them out of the family industry of tech.

Kira Dell, the eldest, works as an independent consultant after having held jobs at various social-justice-focused organizations, including a “social care technology” company.

Her younger sister, Alexa, is much more familiar with the tech space. After dropping out of college and working for a dating app, she started a tech consulting firm, and her clients have included Bumble.

“The idea that if we can make the world a smaller place with technology, we can really exponentially expand the boundaries of innovation and what’s possible within the world,” Alexa told Business Insider. “That movement was incredibly intriguing to me, and I wanted to be part of that.”

Little is publicly available about Juliette Dell, an equestrian who, at one point, interned at Dell Technologies.

The youngest Dell, Zach, graduated from the University of Southern California in 2019, according to his LinkedIn profile, which also lists an internship at his dad’s family office. For the past year or so, he’s worked as the cofounder and CEO of Base Power Company, a battery-powered energy company that’s raised $68 million, according to PitchBook.
