Mukesh Ambani's Antilia House

Mukesh Ambani's Antilia House

Usually when someone is looking at real estate, they don’t consider ever living in a house the size of a New York City Skyscraper. For Mukesh Ambani of India, this wasn’t the case. The 53-year-old business man has recently had a 398,000 square foot house built for him in Mambai, India for a staggering $1.8 billion. Mukesh Ambani’s new house is called the “Antilia”, which is named for a mythical island in the Atlantic Ocean named Antillia.

Ambani, apparently didn’t have anything better to do with his money. He is currently the richest man in Asia, and the 4th richest in the world. He is the chairman and managing director of Reliance Industries, which he has been part of since 1981. The company is the largest enterprise in the private sector in the country of India. Ambani owns a 48% stake. His total wealth approaches $30 billion, and he is also the owner of an Indian Premier League team, named the Mumbai Indians.

Mukesh is married to to a woman named Nita Ambani, and has three children with her, named Akash, Anant, and Isha. The 5 of them will be living in the 27 story house together.

The Antilia is now considered to be the largest home in the world. It includes close to 600 full-time employees, that work to maintain the building around the clock. The house was designed by Perkins & Will, who are architects from Chicago Illinois, and the building is inspired by the Hanging Gardens of Babylon.

The inside of the Antilia is “amazing”, according to those people who have been inside. It includes a dance hall, a fitness room, a 50 person movie theater, a health spa, several large swimming pools, a ballroom, parking for over 160 vehicles taking up 6 floors, hanging gardens with extra tall ceilings for trees to grow, and much more.

“Amazing” just might not be the word to describe Mukesh Ambani’s new house.

    Its the flaw of the monetary system and NOT “the worth of Mr Mukesh Ambani’s hard work”. The monetary and financial system, specially in India tends to completely devalue efforts of some people (a lot farm workers earn less than USD 1 a day for whole day labour under Sun) and overvalue people who employ them.
    Its a misfortune of India that people like Mukesh want to show so much opulence whereas many of the excellent engineers hired by him DO NOT EARN EVEN MINIMUM WAGES OF ANY MODERN DEVELOPED COUNTRY. This kind of money if invested in R&D can bring fruits to whole India, not only Mr Mukesh Ambani. He is rich and selfish son of a visionary entreprenuer who is making loads of money by using systematic flaws of typical India conditions. Tata’s never bought anything this expensive even thought they are richest business group in India!
    I appeal to Mr Mukesh Ambani to have a bigger heart for his fellow human beings.
