"An Indian businessman has built the world's most expensive home - valued at $1 billion, with three helipads, its own air traffic control, a six-floor car park, a staff of 600, a four-storey hanging garden and a cinema.

The 173-metre tall mansion is called Antilia, after a mythical island in the Atlantic Ocean, and has just been completed after seven years of construction."

Have a look at the "home" they've built, to be honest I think it looks like an office block, wouldn't be my cup of tea. Do you like it?, yay or nay?

It's all well and good building it but he still lives in India!
Is it in India that they wipe their bum with their hands???

A billion dollar fanny magnet.

Inside is lovely, very grand and classy but the outside isnt that great at all. seriously just looks like an office/apartment block.

Expensive home location fail.

Shhhh, if you really listen you can hear the sobbing of Alison O'Riordan :pac:

Rabies · 19-10-2010 11:56am

the fantastic four building is still better

Duggy747 · 19-10-2010 11:59am

What about Superman's Palace Of Solitude? Planning permission must've been a bitch for that thing, though I imagine the heating bill is fairly low.

Plus, he has that awesome 3D TV thing that can show stuff like Marlon Brando's head all over the walls!

Jumpy · 19-10-2010 11:59am

If I recall correctly, this is built in a particularly bad area.

Way to say **** you to the locals.

Rabies · 19-10-2010 12:07pm

Too many stairs and elevator music is boring too.
I've heard Mumbai is nice. Well, certain areas of it. And fairly rich too and good standard of living for those that can afford it of course

While the home cost about $77 million to build, Mumbai's growing property prices means Antilia is now estimated to be worth 15 times more - about $1 billion.

Haven't they heard of negative equity! Give India a few years and we'll be having the last laugh.

It is their money. Why should it be of conern to anyone else how they spend it?

Sanjuro · 19-10-2010 12:32pm

At least his investment has already paid off. I am sure there are quite a few people in Ballsbridge who spent the same amount on a dingy house on a semi nice road (Shrewsbury Rd. for example) and won't be able to get any return on their Investment on it for at least the next 10 years.

His the fourth richest man in the world. Don't know if the ole "A fool and their money are easily parted" phase applies here.

That's the spirit! Who gives a fúck about anyone else? I sure don't. It doesn't matter that his neighbors are some of the poorest people on the planet, living in cardboard houses and digging through massive piles of rubbish to make a living. Fúck em, not my problem.

I'm sure your parents are very proud of you.

Um, your house is also 100 times better. Yes, he could give a lot to the poor - but so could you.
