An Indian businessman and his family have moved into their newly constructed 27-story home in Mumbai. Yeah you read that right, its IN INDIA, where there are more cell phones than there are toilets. This house has both toilets, and phones. And a couple other interesting things:
Mukesh Ambani, Indias richest man according to Forbes, just moved his family into a $1 billion Mumbai skyscraper occupying all 27 stories. The 53-year-old tycoons new home is larger than the Palace of Versailles and needs a staff of 600 to keep things running. The building has underground parking for 160 cars, three helicopter pads and a theater that seats 50. The Ambani family will occupy all 27 stories, which include a ballroom, several lounges, a health club, a dance studio and an elevated garden large enough to accommodate trees.
Did I mention that this is in INDIA, where over a fifth of the population lives under the international poverty line of $1.25 a day, whose per capita GDP is about 40 times less than the United States. You could probably build a mansion there for a thousand dollars. But this dude dropped a thousand million dollars on his pad. Hes basically like Biff in Back to the Future II, only real. Living the dream.
DO YOU REALLY NEED 27 FLOORS ??????
