According to recent reports, the salary of Indian billionaire Mukesh Ambani's driver was estimated to be more than that of many people working in multinational companies.
According to a report in Live Mint, Ambani's driver reportedly earned around Rs 2 lakh per month back in 2017, which sums up to be Rs 24 lakh annually. However, it is still unclear how much the driver earns in 2023.

Ambani's household drivers are reportedly hired through a private contracting firm and undergo rigorous training to handle his bulletproof vehicle and maintain the luxurious lifestyle of the billionaire's family.
Other employees of the Ambani household, including cooks, guards, and housekeeping staff, are also said to receive allowances and insurance.
