Gifting Extravagance
Brothers Compete on Luxury Gifts for their Wives
So you think your Christmas gift was not good enough? At least you didn’t have to suffer the indignation of being shown up by your brother's gift for his wife. Anil Ambani and Mukesh Ambani, from Mumbai, have a friendly brotherly rivalry going on and their wives are loving it. This year Anil bought his wife Tina an $84-million yacht called Tian, the mashup of their names: Tina and Anil. I suspect they will have a pretty nice New Year’s celebration on the decks. It's WAY better than Mukesh's gift of a crappy private jet to his wife last year - barely over 50% of the yacht's price.
