The Most Expensive House Ever Built is 27 Stories High and Costs Over $1 Billion


Built for India' richest man, Mukesh Ambani moved into his new home in 2010.

But this is no ordinary home. This state-of-the-art building is 173 metres high (equivalent to a regular 6o storied residential building) and has 37 000 square metres of space.

Other amenities in the building includes six floors for parking, the seventh floor for car service and maintenance, an entertainment centre complete with a 50-seat theatre, a health club complete with swimming pool and other athletic equipments and another two floors designated to be the 'air space floor' which acts as a control room for the three helipads on the top terrace.

The building which is named Antilla after a mythological island, is designed based on the Hanging Gardend of Babylon and conforms to Vaastu, an Indian form of Feng Shui.
