The Most Expensive House in the World

By Ilyce Glink | Oct 15, 2010 | 4 Comments

 

We've shared some truly spectacular homes with you, but nothing compares to this one. It's the most expensive house in the world - a billion dollar home.

It's not completely finished in this photo, but the fully completed version doesn't look all that different. Click here to see it on the Telegraph.co.uk website. Exposed steel and glass was the desired look apparently. Very post modern. And yes, that entire thing is for one family.

Located in Mumbai, the most expensive house in the world is owned (fittingly) by the richest man in India: Mukesh Ambani, age 53. He lives in the $1 billion skyscraper mansion with his wife, three children and 600 servants.

Named Anitlla, the entire structure is 27 stories high, although to be fair the first 6 floors are a 160-car garage.

The amenities are as extravagant as they are endless, but what would you expect from the fourth richest human on the planet? The most expensive house in the world has:

  • Private gym
  • Ballroom
  • 50-seat movie theater
  • Health spa
  • Several swimming pools
  • 3 helicopter pads

The house, well, building, also features small trees in the residence in an elevated garden with high ceilings.

OMG...why does any one need (even if they have the money) a house that large...wonder how many people they need just to keep it clean.

Well, at 27 stories I'm sure he'll get a good look at the unbelievable poverty and overcrowding in Mumbai.

Hi Marsha,

Interesting story.

Certainly the outside appearance was not of great concern, as it is a completley ugly building.

Also, not need for estate like grounds. Looks like he built it right in the middle of the crowded city.

Thanks

Mukesh apparently has a stasff of 600 plus.

We have opulent homes in Palm Beach, Florida...but the top sale thus far was $98,000,000. (Million)

ctually, I Google it and saw a good photo, and it is stunning. Very-very different from the construction photo here. It is beautiful, just a little overpriced ;-)

Not really my taste to live in but I bet it's an architectural gem.
