New Delhi: Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani on Friday said that it matters little to him whether his personal fortunes are measured in billions or millions if the country prospers and the company grows.
"There have been several reports in the media about my personal wealth. Frankly, I am amused with these reports. Because I never thought of myself in these terms. Nor have I worked in any way for these epithets," PTI quoted Mukesh Ambani as saying.
"True wealth lies in what you give to the society and to the country, the real assets that you build, the institutions you nurture and the contribution you make to all-round prosperity," Mukesh said.
He was referring to reports that Reliance's turnover has shot up to one trillion rupees and its market cap to Rs 3,82,259 crore.
"The money you accumulate merely gives you an opportunity to make a difference. But only if we make use of it to create wealth for the nation and to look for a social return. I measure my success by the value that I create for my shareholders and the assets that we, as a company, create for the nation as a whole," he added.
He, however, took pride in helping to build the human capital for those 'thousands of young people who have made Reliance what it is today'.
Meanwhile, Mukesh Ambani said that the company will invest $ 8-9 billion in the next three to four years in the Jamnagar 'Super Site'.
The Jamnagar 'Super Site' strength to pursue inorganic growth opportunities in Asia for textiles and in Europe and North America for PET, he said.
Ambani also said RIL would build the world's largest petrochemical complex at Jamnagar with an annual capacity of two million tonnes of olefins, with matching downstream capacities.
