Mukesh and Anil Ambani are once again in a list of richest people compiled by US business magazine Forbes. But this time the billionaire brothers have received mention for their running feud. |
"Sometimes fighting has a silver lining, as has been the case for Mukesh and Anil Ambani," Forbes wrote in a report on Billionaire Family Feuds. |
"Unable to get along, the brothers began fighting publicly in late 2004 for control of Reliance Industries. The situation became so untenable that their mother Kokilaben brokered a court- approved peace settlement that entailed divvying up the family businesses." the report said. |
"Once-inseparable brothers Mukesh and Anil Ambani fought bitterly for months over control of Reliance Industries, one of India's largest companies, founded by their father late Dhirubhai." |
According to Forbes, the bickering is still continuing between the two brothers despite their mother brokering a settlement to divide the family assets way back in June 2005. |
