Billion Dollar House
December 12, 2008
As the chairman and director of Reliance Industries, Mukesh Ambani is the fifth richest man in the world, with an estimated net worth valued at $43 Billion USD. Ambani spared no expense in designing his new 27 story, 400,000 square foot mansion with the height equivalent of a regular 60-story residential building. He designed each floor with different materials and a different design following an Indian tradition called Vaastu, which is similar to the principles of Feng Shui. Apparently the first six floors will be for storage and parking of the families cars and vehicles. The seventh floor is designed soley for in-house car maintenance. The entertainment floor is on the eight floor and features a 50 seat movie theater and wine room with a garden on the roof of the theater. The Mansion has a total of 9 elevators, heli pad, indoor/outdoor bars, entertainment stages, green rooms, and a staff of 600 to keep everything running smoothly. I think it’s fair to say Mukesh Ambani = India’s Donald Trump.
Where is this MEGA home? If a secret what country is it in? THANK YOU
This home is located in downtown Mumbai, India.
colors suck, design sucks, waste of a billion
Well all I can say is, my 11yr old son could have designed a better house with his Lego set!
“Good taste is better than bad taste, but bad taste is better than no taste” Oscar Wilde
Its the most drab, uninspiring waste of money, ever.
“A fool and his money are soon parted”
The house is quite different, although beautiful on the inside. I would like to have just 1/4 of the money you put in this.
I thinck it’s the most unglist thing i ever saw
And if i had is money i would of bilt a beter house then that.
And i would of bild it beside of the water.
what a cool building! diffrent und nice! i have the money and i would buy an nice apartment…
just the city is not my part!
i love monaco, dubai or sant tropez
bye bye
It’s the best house in the world. I would love to have a house with 400,000 square feet of living space, a 50 seated movie theater, 600 staff members, 9 elevators, a helipad, and inside and outside bars. Like I said, the best house in the world!
Wow, and there are starving people all over the world, including the States. Nice to see vanity and greed is still king. The poor indian population should just take that thing.
that house looks horreble toltel waste of money you could have feed millions of people with that money not to mention its big inof to fit 150 people what a wast
GIVE ME THAT HOUSE …OR IMA BLOW THAT SHIT UP
At first glance, the mansion seemed as a stack of multi-sized boxes organized in no order whatsoever. But the real beauty is what’s inside. The gardens at the edge of nearly all walls gives it a Babylon feeling in India. I would of loved to see Indian architecture style.
it looks like a toy lego design i made when i was a kid why is the guy paying a fricking billion dollars?
Given the inexpressible poverty of so many in India, I can only blame religion for staving off the revolution that has been so long overdue.
The caste system lives–and here is an extremely ugly (in every sense of the word) example.
FROM WIKIPEDIA:
“The World Bank estimates that 456 million Indians now live under the global poverty line of $1.25 per day (PPP). This means that a third of the global poor now reside in India.”
I say, Mukesh Ambani is a traitor to his people, and the incarnation of selfishness.
no art just regular stuff. looks like a toy. nothing special. not even close to worth a billion!
Must have employed a lot of people in creating this masterpiece.
Wealth helps poverty through employment.
Every dollar spent goes toward goods and services and workers generating these good and services and eventually to their families.
people want work not money handed to them.
Wealth supports work.
Charity should go toward Education.
If such a billionaire wants to help his people perhaps he should have donated money to the local University or Research Initiatives.
Guys, ignore this article. The pics above are just an artists impression of how the building will look. Its not yet been built.
It is true though they expect the cost to be around a Billion.
I buy a house with 500000 sq ft of living space, 1000 staff members, a private plane landing area, helipad,a private steam train and track and private beach and more!
This house is quite ugly. I would have just built a billion dollar mansion around the beach or something. Its not aesthetically pleasing.
This is the most unusal house I’ve ever seen. I want to know who did he pay to design that crappy looking house. It looks good on the inside but you want the outside of your house to complement the inside right? If I had a bilion dollars to spend on a house I would use it to build a castle like the one at Walt Disney World.
my house is better than this house,my house is having 7 stories in which we can park our car inside the house…………..
my house has a beautyful garden and one great swimmingpool……..
sorry this all are false,
anyway I LIKE IT
U R HOUSE IS BETTER THAN ANY OF THE WORLD………
Shut up, all of you. The house is sweet, the guy shouldn’t give away all of his money, and almost all of the commenters before me are jealous fuckwits who should learn how to spell.
i think it is ok
my house is better
it has 8 bedrooms ,10bathrooms, 1 parking lot, a huge garden , a small swimmin pool, a play room , 2 sooooooooooooooo cute pugs, 2 fountains (my friends r jealous of me………………….
I had lunch with Mukesh just last week, and he showed me these plans. All I could say was… “WOW MUKE! What a dump!!!! I guess people in India really don’t have it so good.” And between just us, he thought Feng Shui was raw fish. Holy sacred cow, what a crazy guy old Muke is.
First and foemost, you all smell. This house is just like Jenga, and with one good wind, will topple to the ground. I’m glad you are all mature enough to own each other with misspelled words and namecalling. Sadly, I’ve graduated grade school and will not take part in this child’s play. So inconclusion, my comment will increase all of your IQ levels and you willl never know what it is that ever started this whole mess!!
for all them people moaning about how much it cost i’ll say one thing you are on a website called highstakesliving.com what the hell do you expect some redkneck whos gone in to the luxury real estate of trailers.
Mumbai is a very crowded Metropolis, for those of you who do not know the geography of the city. This gentleman has had the foresight and intelligence to build upwards and so utilise the best space available in order to achieve his dream home.His intelligence, forward thinking, planning.and business acumen has got him where he is today.Enjoy your journey sir, I am sure you will always remember what lies at the bottom of your glorious edifice, thats what makes you great.

what the hell that is stupid big… that bitch is big as hell…thats what she said…lol
I love it. The inside is beautiful, and the outside may not be my taste but at least it stands out as new and different.
