All about Satish Sanpal, the Dubai-based businessman who gifted Pink Rolls-Royce on daughter's first birthday now on Desi Bling

He quit school at 15, borrowed ₹50,000 from his mother, and watched his first business fail. Today, Satish Sanpal lives inside the Burj Khalifa, commands a $3 billion empire — and just gifted his one-year-old daughter a custom-built pink Rolls-Royce, monogrammed with her initials, imported from England.

The Dubai-based Indian billionaire from Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, is now the most talked-about face on Netflix's Desi Bling — and the internet can't stop watching. His baby daughter, Isabella Sanpal, eats with 24-carat gold cutlery. And the first birthday party? A-list celebrities, a cake descending from the ceiling, and a golden carriage entrance.

But who exactly is Satish Sanpal — the self-made Dubai billionaire — and how does a small-town Indian build an empire this staggering? The answer is more complicated than it looks.

About Satish Sanpal 

Born in Jabalpur with no inherited wealth, Satish Sanpal is a Dubai-based billionaire. Sanpal dropped out after class 8 and started working young, starting from a grocery shop in India before moving to Dubai with around ₹80,000 and entering the gold business. 

How rich is Satish Sanpal?

Sanpal and his wife Tabinda have a combined net worth of over $1.5 billion (₹14,000 crore), according to media reports. Satish Sanpal is the founder of ANAX Holding, with interests in real estate, hospitality and investments. ANAX Holding is reportedly valued at more than $3 billion. 

Sanpal family's luxurious home

Binda claimed on the reality show Desi Bling that she owns 40 kg of gold, adding that Satish gifts her around 3 kg of gold every Dhanteras.

Did he gift a Rolls-Royce to his one-year-old daughter?

The billionaire first came into the news for gifting his one-year-old daughter Isabella a customised metallic pink Rolls-Royce Phantom worth ₹5.8 crore in 2025.

The birthday celebration took place at Atlantis The Royal and had celebrity performances by Atif Aslam, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, and Nora Fatehi. At the celebration, Bella was seen donning a gold dress and a 24-carat gold jacket and made her entry in a princess carriage. 

The car, which was custom-made in the UK, included a metallic pink exterior, pink-and-white leather interiors, monogrammed seats with Isabella's initials, personalised 'Congratulations Isabella' nameplate.
