Believe it or not, the chef who makes rotis at Mukesh Ambani's house earns a cool Rs 2 lakh per month! The massive salary is because they have to make around 4,000 rotis every single day for over 600 staff members and guests.
Mukesh and Nita Ambani are known for their luxurious lifestyle but are strict vegetarians who prefer home-cooked food. Mukesh once said he loves simple dal, roti, and rice, but also enjoys Thai food. And get this, every Sunday is reserved for idli-sambar!

Hotel Management degree is a must
To work here, you need a Hotel Management degree. Media reports confirm the roti maker earns Rs 2 lakh a month, which is Rs 24 lakh a year. Antilia has over 600 employees, so the kitchen team has to cook for a huge number of people daily—it's like catering for a big function every single day!
The kitchen staff makes around 4,000 rotis every day for all the employees and guests. The Ambanis have dedicated an entire floor of their 27-storey, Rs 15,000 crore home just for their staff. That's why the roti maker's job comes with such a hefty salary!

The head chef earns Rs 2 lakh
To be clear, the Rs 2 lakh salary is for the head chef of the roti-making department. Other staff members work under this chef, and their salaries depend on their experience and responsibilities. These rotis are mainly for the breakfast of the 600-strong staff and any guests present.

It's all done by machine!
Don't imagine them rolling rotis by hand! Antilia is equipped with state-of-the-art roti-making machines. They use several machines to churn out thousands of rotis. Of course, this might make you think, 'Hey, if there's a machine, even I can do it!'
