World’s Most Expensive House
We are going from the world’s cheapest car to the world’s most expensive house. And yes, you guessed it, it is in India. The lucky owner is India’s richest man, Mr. Mukesh Ambani. Ambani is the chairman of Reliance Industries. Reliance Industries is a conglomerate dealing in the energy and materials industries and have annual revenues in excess of $27 billion.
So we have established that he is rich. Now let’s talk about his house. The house is estimated to cost $1 billion and is currently under construction in Mumbai. Here are some of the key features:
- Named Antilia
- Inspired by the Hanging Gardens of Babylon
- 60 stories tall - only 27 livable
- 6 floors will be for parking - 168 parking spots total
- Movie theater for up to 50 people
- Health club and pool
- Three helipads on the roof
- Several levels of gardens and terraces
If you think Ambani has an extremely large family, then guess again. The people actually living in the house will be Ambani, his wife, three children, and his mother. On top of that, a staff of 600 people is required to take care of this place.
Check out the picture and video of Antilia below.
