The worlds most expensive house

A house is not a home until you at least live in it. Well, Billionaire Mukesh Ambani just moved into his twenty-seven story home. This makes him the owner of the most expensive house (now home) in the world. Here’s the story:
Business tycoon Mukesh Ambani, owner of Reliance Industries, made his fortune in oil related manufacturing. With a net worth of $43 billion dollars back in 2008 he was the 5th richest man on earth. Now I think he’s the 4th richest. Good for him, right? With all that cash to burn through, he decided to build himself a quaint little home in Mumbai, India. Actually, it’s the worlds most expensive house, valued at more than $1 billion dollars US. He literally built a skyscraper to live in. It’s taken 4 years to build. It’s 570 feet tall. That’s taller than the Statue of Liberty. And it’s an unbelievable 400,000 square feet. That’s massive!
What can one man do with 27 floors? Well six floors will be devoted to parking, and one for his own mechanics shop. Why? Because he has 168 cars (overkill 9000!). One floor will have a 50 seat private movie theater. And another floor will have his health club, complete with sauna, steam room, and pool. Four floors will be the Ambani family living area. There will be servants quarters for 600 servants who help run the house. The place even has it’s own ice room. So when Ambani is trying to cool off from a hot Mumbai day, he’ll just step in there and all will be good.

Mukesh Ambani will move into the worlds largest and most expensive house. It’s a twenty-seven story skyscraper in downtown Mumbai that’s going to cost close to one billion US dollars. The residence has been named Antilla and no two floors are a like. The living quarters begin at the lobby with nine elevators. Down the stairways is a large ballroom as well with the ceiling covered in crystal chandeliers. While the top floor offers panoramic views. The Ambani’s have consulted architecture firms in Los Angeles and Dallas to design their grand home. It’s likely to cost more than a hotel or high-rise of similar size because of it’s custom made design.

I got all this info from ptmoney.com, I saw a special on the news about this house on Saturday...Yes its awesome!!! BUT the news reporter said that the home was in sight of the slums of India...I mean... Iam sure some of the money Mr. Ambani spent on his home could of been used for better things... like ohh I dont know... helping the people who live in tents just blocks away from his tower residence.
