The home of India's richest man, Mukesh Ambani, in Mumbai. The $1-billion home, seven years in the making, is 400,000 square feet on 27 floors, all for a family of six. The building is named Antilia, after a mythical island.
The home boasts a 168-space lot, three helipads, a swimming pool, yoga studio, mini-theater, three balconies with terrace gardens, a health club and spectacular views of the Arabian Sea (and the Mumbai slums).
Since we weren’t invited inside, take a tour from the exterior in the photo gallery above and read Magnier’s report “There’s no place like this home.”
