Ahead of finalising its list of 100 most influential people in the world, prestigious US
magazine Time has advised one of the probables Mukesh Ambani to settle his spat with younger sibling Anil over a 'pillow fight' using pillows stuffed with $1,000 bills.
"Our proposal: duke it out using pillows stuffed with $1,000 bills," Time said.
Referring to him as "petrol prince", the publication shortlisted Mukesh among the 203 finalists for its annual list of 100 most influential persons in the world in 2009. Anil is,
however, not among the probables.
"The billionaire chairman of Reliance Industries steers one of the biggest conglomerates in India, with interests in not only oil, but also clothing and kitchenware," Time said
about Mukesh.
On the negative side, Time said, Mukesh is "still mired in a public spat with his billionaire brother (Anil)."
Children usually indulge in pillow-fight as a game, where they fight using pillows, which being soft does not cause any injuries. Speculations have been rife in recent months about a possible reunion between the Ambani brothers, as they have come together under the same roof many a time. They had parted ways in June 2005.
Mukesh has been named alongside six other persons of Indian origin -- political leader Sonia Gandhi, industrialist Ratan Tata, global cola giant PepsiCo's Indra Nooyi, Bollywood movie moghul Ronnie Screwvala, high profile Fortune 500 management consultant Ram Charan and US government's Troubled Asset Relief Programme superviser Neel Kashkari.
While Tata, Gandhi and Nooyi have previously made to the annual list of 100 most influential in the world, Mukesh has never made it here.
