Last year, I wrote a short article about the worlds most expensive mansion in Mumbai, India being built by uber-wealthy Mukesh Ambani.
In addition to arguably being the most expensive private home in the world (how about $1 Billion to build?), it will also be the tallest measuring in at 42 stories. Residence Antilla, though, will only have 27 stories, due to Ambanis desire for taller ceilings.
Mukesh Ambani is reported to be the 14th richest man in the world, with estimated personal wealth of around $21 billion. He is also one of the more visible men of wealth in India.
When completed, the high-rise mansion will also be one of the most visible (and discussed) mansions in all of Mumbai, if not India and the rest of the world.
Designed to house Ambanis fortunate family of six and a doting staff of 600, this enormous mansion will also have six floors dedicated to pampered storage and parking for a collection of at least 168 automobiles. Included in this magnificent residence will also be a full-service spa, fully-equipped gym, a home theater that should turn Hollywood moguls green, and multiple floors set aside for visiting dignitaries and guests.
The family will have to make do with the top four stories set aside for their viewing and living pleasure.
Completion date was initially set for Fall, 2008, so well keep an eye on its progress.
In the meantime, I am hoping for an invitation to the Ambani housewarming gala.
Roberta,
Glad to see Luxury Home Digest is up. This has been a horrible experience we have had to endure from that hands of a hacker.
I look forward to reading more Luxury Digest articles from you…
Gena: This recent hacking attack has left us all gasping for air. I’ll spend a lifetime trying to understand why anyone would try to invoke such deliberate pain.
Roberta, Sorry to hear about your hacking nightmare. Glad you are back up. It was a sad day for luxury home buyers and sellers to be without Luxury Home Digest.
Mitchell:
It’s been a painful recovery. Thanks so much for your support and for stopping by!
hey, sorry about the hacking problem, thats a pretty cool house… isn’t it like 1 billion dollars? I might go to India and get to see it probably that would be so cool!
im going to india so its good… now i can go and see it AWESOME!
hey people im back… lol… i was just wondering couldn’t people see like the owners of the house going to the bathroom and taking showers lol… kind of embarrassing i would be like ZOMG! LOL… I feel bad for the family… Why did they built the walls of glass?! thats kind of stupid (no offense to anyone). If like wind is blowing through buildings and the house… the glass could pop out its place… and then the glass would fall down to the ground and will kill people… i studied that in science and stuff its about velocity and stuff… what if that happens! omg that would be like so bad… people would die cause the glass is like huge! I wouldnt want to waste 1 billion dollars on just making some weird looking house… i would save it and put it in interest for like retirement… With all this economy and stuff… i bet it uses tons of electricity and stuff… yea… i would use all that money for just my family not making a huge house where everyone can see the owners taking showers and going to the bathroom… ewwww! Retirement money is better than wasting 1 billion dollars on making a house, killing people with a huge glass, and people looking at you when you go to the bathroom, and take a shower
some people just dont know how to use their money properly… people these days…….
