NEW DELHI: In a heartwarming interview with The New Indian, American Indian billionaire Darshan Dhaliwal, whose portfolio includes a whopping list of 1,000 gas stations, real estate complexes and shopping malls in Wisconsin’s Milwaukee town, has said that even after completing 52 years of marriage, he eagerly looks forward to having his wife cook breakfast and supper for him while deploying no kitchen staff at his sprawling residence built in the woods.
Dhaliwal lives alone with his wife at their mansion in Mequin, dotted with a bevvy of expensive sedans like a Rs 126,118 Maybach, a Rs 1681,585 BMW Series 7 sedan, and a Rs 1555,466 Mercedes Sprinter van. Dhaliwal’s admission of a long-lasting relationship comes at a time when many billionaire couples, including former Microsoft CEO Bill Gates and Amazon chief Jeff Bezos, have separated in the United States. The 52-year-old Sikh businessman has two brothers, one of whom works as a politician in Punjab while the other supports him in Milwaukee.

Dhaliwal’s life has been a topsy-turvy ride as he rose through the ranks to be counted among prominent Indians who were invited to the White House alongside Google CEO Sundar Pichai, Reliance chairperson Mukesh Ambani, and Mahindra group head Anand Mahindra to the dinner hosted by then US President Joe Biden in honour of Prime Minister Narendra Modi last year.
When asked if they cook for each other, Dhaliwal playfully admitted, “She cooks delicious meals for me, but I don’t,” conveying his lighthearted approach to the question. The couple has six kids: three sons and three daughters. Dhaliwal entered Wisconsin from Punjab in 1972 to study in Dakota. He got married to Debra in 1976. When asked what she likes about him, Debra said that he is relentless.
Dhaliwal fondly reminisced about cherished moments and the little quirks that define their relationship. He shared a typical morning routine: “Every morning she gets mad at me to get out of bed, and then the second question is, what do you want for breakfast?” His lighthearted depiction of their mornings illustrates the warmth and familiarity that have developed over the years.
He emphasized that, despite these humorous exchanges, his wife is “wonderful,” demonstrating his genuine admiration and respect for her. Their shared experiences over the decades have cultivated a rich tapestry of memories, from simple breakfast conversations to more significant life milestones.
The couple’s dynamic is a testament to the power of companionship and the everyday rituals that bind partners together. In a world where relationships often face challenges, Dhaliwal’s story serves as a reminder of the beauty found in small gestures, such as a lovingly prepared meal or a teasing morning exchange.
As he reflected on their life together, Dhaliwal expressed gratitude for the enduring partnership they have built. His words resonate with anyone who values the simple joys of love and companionship, proving that even after many years, the spark of affection can remain as strong as ever.
