The Most Expensive Home In The World: Mukesh Ambani's Antilia

We had spotted this quite some time back - that the most expensive home on the planet is not in Long Island, NY or in Greenich, CT - it is in fact in one of the most poor countries in the world - the most expensive home in the world is located in Mumbai, India.

"But no other home on the planet is worth more than petrochemical scion Mukesh Ambani’s 27-story downtown Mumbai skyscraper Antilia. With construction costs estimated between $1 billion and $2 billion, the behemoth high-rise home sits atop six stories of parking garages and has 400,000 square feet of living space including a ballroom with crystal-bedecked ceiling, a movie theater with snack bar, and a “health” level."
