Welcome to my Billion Dollar Home
To call Mukesh Ambani rich is an understatement. Ambani is the fifth richest dude in the world and is worth $43 billion dollars. Ambani is the head of Reliance Industries, a petrochemical firm. And like any other home owner, Ambani decided to remodel his home. Many years later, the home is now a 22 storey tower. Alterations are still on the way, and the cost is now nearing $2 billion.
Atop six stories of parking lots, Antilla's living quarters begin at a lobby with nine elevators, as well as several storage rooms and lounges. Down dual stairways with silver-covered railings is a large ballroom with 80% of its ceiling covered in crystal chandeliers. It features a retractable showcase for pieces of art, a mount of LCD monitors and embedded speakers, as well as stages for entertainment. The hall opens to an indoor/outdoor bar, green rooms, powder rooms and allows access to a nearby "entourage room" for security guards and assistants to relax.
Ambani plans to occasionally use the residence for corporate entertainment, and the family wants the look and feel of the home's interior to be distinctly Indian; 85% of the materials and labor will come from outside the U.S., most of it from India.
Rich or what?
