The extravagant wedding of Anant Ambani, son of Asia’s richest man, Mukesh Ambani, and Radhika Merchant, dazzled social media earlier this year. While the luxurious event drew attention for its A-list celebrity guests and top business leaders, there was another surprising star at the celebration—Happy, the family’s beloved Golden Retriever. What caught everyone’s eye was not just Happy’s presence, but the luxury ride he arrived in—a Mercedes-Benz G-Class, a vehicle many can only dream of owning.
A Grand Wedding with a Grand Entrance
The Ambani wedding became a sensation on social media, boasting extravagant decor and an impressive fleet of luxury cars. The Ambani family made a grand entrance in a lavishly decorated Rolls-Royce, but it wasn’t just the humans who traveled in style. Happy, the family’s furry companion, enjoyed the comfort of his very own luxury SUV, the Mercedes-Benz G400d.
This model, a favorite among the Ambanis, stands out in their collection. While the family’s security team cruises around in Mercedes-AMG G 63s, Happy gets the plush comfort of the G400d, which carries a price tag of approximately ($370,000 USD).
Happy’s Luxurious Ride: The Mercedes-Benz G400d
What sets Happy’s ride apart from the rest of the Ambani collection is its diesel-powered engine. The G400d is powered by a 3.0L inline-six OM656 diesel engine, producing an impressive 325 horsepower and 700 Nm of torque. Paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission, this SUV is as powerful as it is luxurious.
Launched earlier this year, the G400d replaces the older G350d model, offering even more power and refinement. It comes in two versions: the adventure-ready Adventure trim and the sleek AMG Line. It’s the latter that Happy, the Ambanis’ pampered Golden Retriever, regularly rides in. Recent photos of the G400d circulating on social media showcase the family’s lavish tastes, and while Happy seems quite content in his “home on wheels,” netizens have been left both amazed and envious.
Social Media’s Reactions: Shock and Humor
When news of Happy’s luxury ride broke, social media exploded with humorous reactions. Many users couldn’t believe that a dog was cruising around in a car worth more than most homes.
- “Wait, what? A G400d for a dog?!”
- “Are you telling me I’m poor from every angle? No matter how I look at it, I just see ‘poor.’”
Before upgrading to the Mercedes-Benz G400d, Happy was previously spotted riding in a Toyota Fortuner and a Vellfire, the luxury twin of the Toyota Alphard. Both are high-end vehicles in their own right, but it seems the Ambani family’s canine companion has now joined the ranks of ultra-luxury travel.
Happy’s life in the lap of luxury highlights the Ambani family’s penchant for extravagance. From a Rolls-Royce for the wedding party to a Mercedes-Benz G-Class for their Golden Retriever, it’s clear that no expense is spared in the Ambani household. While most people can only dream of owning such a car, for Happy, it’s just another day of living like royalty.
