The Worlds Most Expensive Home $1B



Measure out: one part Hollywood; six parts traffic; a bunch of rich power-moguls; pour in six heaped cups of poverty; equal parts of mayhem and order; fold in your mixture with equal parts India; throw it all in a blender on high (adding generous helpings of pollution to taste) and presto: Mumbai.

This 27-story single-family residential tower recently finished in Mumbai almost certainly vanquishes all pretenders to the throne of world's most expensive private home, with a price tag estimated at somewhere close to $1 billion.
Built by Mukesh Ambani, the chief executive of Reliance Industries, the home reaches new levels of decadence, with three helipads, swimming pools, four-story "hanging gardens" and a six-story parking garage. Dubbed "Antilla," the 173-meter tall mansion also includes a 50-seat cinema, ballroom, gym and every room is custom designed.

According to published reports, the tower cost $77 million to build, but that only hints at its value. After all, how do you put a price tag on a one-of-a-kind building in a city where every piece of open land is coveted like gold?

I could find a billion other things i'd rather do with my money.
