  • India’s Richest Businessman Moves Into Modest Family Home

    An Indian businessman, the country’s richest, has moved in his humble new residence which sports panoramic views of the Mumbai slums, allowing him to literally look down on the poor. The property is valued at a cool six-point-eight-billion-rand, which, experts agree, is roughly one metric shit-ton of cash.

    Before we go any further, let’s have a quick look at the highlights. The property comes with:

    • 27 stories (570ft) tall
    • 37,000 sq metres (making it larger than the Palace of Versailles)
    • 50 seat cinema
    • A dance studio
    • A gym
    • Garage space for 160 cars
    • 600 fulltime staff, which, as there are only 5 people living in the house, is equal to 120 staff members per person
    • Three helipads
    • Four-story hanging garden
    • A ballroom
    • At least one swimming pool
    • An elevated garden with ceiling space to accommodate trees

    The house, also known as Antilia, is owned by Mukesh Ambani who, with a net worth of £18 billion, is not only the richest man in India but the fourth richest in the world. He emerged earlier this year as a potential buyer of Liverpool FC.

    One of the guests at the housewarming party is going to be the Indian Prime Minister, who has recently called on businessmen to be role models of moderation. Ja, right. How’s that working out for you?
