May 2 2008World's Most Expensive House Costs A Lot

Nice to see that two billion still can't buy you even a shred of taste. I'd have to kill myself if I lived there.

Still in India. Can't be that nice.

I'd rather live in a castle; but that's just me.

Thank God you gave me someone new to hate! My disdain for Oko Ono has worn thin.

#1 hits the nail on the head. What a piece of crap. A chandelier in every room, gold glittery accents everywhere. 18 types of wood used on every floor, with 47 different types of light fixtures. Hopeless. Then again, it would make a great whorehouse.

The royal penis is clean, sire...

wow just imagine if there was an

EARTHQUAKE!!!! ::rumble rumbe:: ::building collapses:: ::kiss goodbye to expensive house::

I wonder how much it would cost to get the constant smell of sewage and curry out of the air, being as it's in India and all.

Every once in awhile science has to break the boundaries. I think breeding a Vegas hotel with a cruise ship and sticking it all in a shell that looks like a New York ghetto was a daring move. Bravo, Mukesh Ambani.... Plus I have to imagine that taking a dump on lower class society is so much more fun from 550 feet.... What's the Indian phrase for "look out belowwwwwww"?

They should just paint a big bullseye on it........

So like, what do they wear while lounging at home? A tux? 'Cos anything less would spoil the whole look .

#1 really hits it on the head. How tacky.

And I don't want to seem like a hater, but facts are facts. and #8 is correct.

There is no smell in the world like India. Sewer, human waste, and curry all blended together for a smell you never forget--but desparately want to.

If I were this family, I'd do what most prominent Indians do: move to London.

London is much better--even with all of the government cameras.

Mark my words, this mansion and display of hubris will go down as a disgrace on the country. (My country.) Such wasteful bragging.

NOSTRADAMUS PREDICTS:

Prediction: this monstrosity collapses to the ground.

Advice: don't use local labor.

NOSTRADAMUS HAS SPOKEN.

the other rich men of the world don't need to show off their money so obsuredly. Warren buffet, bill gates, hell even brad pitt, give insane amounts of their money away to better the world. And this guy is indian, lives in a country that is FILLED with poverty(not to mention the f***ing crazy deformed babies born monthly, lookup spiderbaby)...and this guy couldn't think of a better way to improve the world around him than to build a giant home? ...so his shithole country can look on and say "well maybe ill go to school and be like that d00sh".

You have to be sensible with your money, yeah its nice to have nice things, everyone agrees with this,but this is just sick, india is a horrible country and this isn't going to even remotely help it.

hmm reading yalls reaction yall real americans that dont know a crap about other countries india aint that bad like america it doesnot contain only gettho's

SHAUNJON HAS SPOKEN.....

but the interior is tacky as hell

schmuck

@ Jesse

oh sure that's what we all eat, curry, every meal of the day, every day of the week. While wallowing in our own filth mind you. F***ing idiot. You eat hamburgers all day too? bitch

Everyone that is compaining about how tacky this place is obviously has never been to India. Everything is decorated like crazy. Even the trucks they use to transport junk are painted up like whores. I went to a wedding there. They put on what had to be 20 lbs of jewlery on the bride, including what looked like a solid gold belt. This is nothing compared to what could have been done. I love India and would love to go back, as long as the beggars would stop grabbing at me.

@ #1

You'll thank Mukesh Ambani when the house transforms into a giant robot and saves us all from some sort of giant intergalactic megalobster. Those chandeliers are the power crystals that focus the fusion cannon in the left arm.

comment #20 really made me chuckle...when that giant intergalactic megalobster does appear, Mukesh can pull out his beta capsule and become Ultraman to quash the threat...oh wait...Ultraman's Japanese...damn...Mumbai is in BIG trouble

@8, tell me about it! I went into an Indian restaurant once (with an Indian guy) and it smelled like a wet dog rolled in a sweaty sock topped off by the breath of 2 girls 1 cup.

Then the guy said: I'm not from India! I'm Native American!

Get it! LOLOL! Native Americ....I thought he was...LOL! Whew! And then I said: If you're not Indian, what's that dot doing on your head? LOLOL! Was that funnny!

Oh well, I liked it...

I'm eating raman noodles as I read this.

needs more deodorant.

ignor-anus-es
!

ROFL #20 : )

i'd like to say that no matter how smelly most indians are.. they're still an intelligent race (perhaps more intelligent than some white-skinned people out there). i wish they could do something to better their economy instead of using all their taxes on military shit. and they should also try heavy-duty deodorant.

I think indians are intelligent.... and they are going to take our jobs !
Shit, they need deodorant and not computers.

Camel. Eye of needle. Anyone?

But I'm sorry... That's just overly decadent and not even executed properly. This is coming from someone who doesn't need to work for at least the next twenty years, so it should mean... Oh, I don't know--something.

27,28 you guys are so dumb....lol

what are you talking about "intelligent race" hahaha.......dumbass- race is literally construct....there are no actual separate distinct groups- just superficial variations- skin color, etc.

realize there is a difference between real life -biology and what you see in Lord of The Rings.
i assume you guys also think the world is flat
anyone can access the human gnome project on the net and read this....haha...dont they have schools in the states
"all indian people smell"....hahaha. theres over 1 billion of them...you met them all..
you make me ashamed to be white- you dumbass give indians, asians and everyone reading this site a reason to laugh at white people....they call us stupid because of white trash like you

to an american education, urge for self- improvement is alien to the same extent as opportunism, and blindly following any leaders like lemmings off a cliff is second nature
the American has no sense of individuality and cowers from leadership. they mask decisions with phrases like "will of the people" and "democracy rules" - they are not leaders ...but self- identified "civil servants" responding to the will of the poeple....even bush, someone who didnt get the popular vote hides behind the "what americans want" mentality....why ?
in a country full of immigrant peasants, you cannot find leaders.....they stayed in europe, where they still rule

people..... ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ...
1 thing guy has the shit and he spents it.

Better then those who have but are to afraid to let it go.

to you beautiful people like Jesse,scott congrats.. i guess all your life you never got the perfect picture.. No wonder you saw only 1 side of the coin....
to others take care.. People only 1 religion that is humanty... And if you need to survive the way people do in India and forr that matter in the Rest of world you would start appreciating the +ves instead of looking at the -ves
yup

I can't WAIT until I hear about the "insert natural/not so natural disaster here" that brings this ghastly monstosity down, hopefully with this leaky bag of douche and his tacky bitch wife inside. Ahh, I can hear the jackoffs at their homeowner's insurance agency keeling over from the massive heart attacks already.

idk about you guys but i don't really give a damn if i've got tacky chandeliers or, um, "18 types of wood used on every floor." it's a goddamn 22-STORY HOUSE. whether or not it smells like "sewage and curry" outside (which is a damn ignorant statement from #8, prbly a white trash piece of shit who's pissed because he can't afford that nice big double-wide), who cares when you live in an ivory tower with a theater that seats 44?! i'd never leave.

i would sneak inside this house, and live right under their noses. who would be able to find me in a 22-story house? just to mess with them, i wouldn't flush the toliet, either. actually, i wouldn't even use the toliet; i'd poop on a different chandelier every day.

35 comments and how can no one mention how -awesome- the phrase 'culinary abortion' is?

I bet that even with 2 billion it will still smell like ass...

u americans only know to hate others. mukesh has got the money & he has got the freedom to flaunt it. u only cry bcoz u dont have such mammoth structures in ur country. u are all uneducated stupids. how many of u are graduates in USA, not even 5% of ur total population. so stop worrying about indians & their curries..try to look at ur own countries which is filled with filth.

It's shameful. Really these people are totally unconscious.

Going against the grain here, I think the skyscraper-house-thingy looks really cool. Cool in that "villainous tower" sort of way, but cool nevertheless.

Dunno about living there, though.

F***ign people are so ignorant,
just because you cant take a culture as 'clean' as your own priviledged selves,
you fail to see the goodness in another.
india is 10 times more beautiful than either england or america,
so much more tradition, the smell is nothing compared to what it has to offer,
some people are just truly ignorant,
stereotyping,
anywas,

Niice; and to think this money could have been wasted on education for his people, diversification of his portfolio, and eventual exit from oil as his country enters developing nation status (or better). Naah, this sand you-know-what is doing EXACTLY what westerners (i.e., American leadership) want them to do--waste their money on idiot bling instead of truly achieve a better future for his people. When the oil dries up, I give them ten years before this turns into a leaning tower of pisa.

ACK; I should read more closely, I ASSUMED This place was in UAE or Saudi Arabia or DUBAI, not MUMBAI.

Still...with 80% poverty in India, this was the best use this guy could get for his money?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

This is what happens when most of you foul americans can't bear the success of an Indian guy (and very soon the Indians).
I am very sure, each one of you would have f***in widened your mouth in awe, seeing that house. And I am pretty sure, the same attitude would have been shows by you guys, if, anyone other than Mukesh did it.

I mean don't you guys just start up just on any country?

The Black-White thingy is a passe, reality now is, we can pretty much f*** you people up.

At # 8, get your nose checked, stop snorting cocks coz it has marred your smelling power. Lol!

Nice to see the jealousy-related comments. Sad gits.

f*** u jesse, i hate these stereotypes about india that all we eat is curry. u dont know shit about india and anyone else whose saying its full of shit.

Everyone has a little bit of sense on this, but its still a stupid as hell to make a house this big, I say we should kidnap this guy and make him donate those 2 billion dolars to all the hungry kids in the world, who`s in ??

Why are u haters dissing india?? & curry??
India ( && Pakistan ) Are gonna join hands And rule the world..
So all You White Load of **** Can get a life
But u wont get the amount of money mukesh has earned coz ur pathetic & ur goin 2 live a lonely cold life!! Understood??
So just shut ur mouths before U get Blazed Coz of the amount of stuff u hav rit!
Dnt u get it he's just an ordinary guy who has gifted his wife something u cant afford...She's just lucky..
now do1
By the way im mukesh's niece...

who needs a f***ing house THAT BIG. even Bill Gates doesn't even have a house that big and hes the worlds richest man

money dosen't buy love from my family, education and tradition.

The burning sensations that these guys feel about this home, is coz in america its always a zero sum game. Your gain has to be other's loss. The level of criticism that is universally struck at the smell and food about India shows that that's as far as the retards can stretch their lumpy brain. If it weren't for that, how come the richest person in Uk is an Indian, Mittal and that third of all the doctors and more than half of all the software engineers are indians??
So, guys spend more money on deodarants and time on Myspace, mean while India is busy getting ahead..

looks really unsafe.........although indian construction is of course world renown for it's brilliance.

I feel really sad when I see people waste their money in extreme luxury. They never thought about the death. The distance between the live and dead is sooooo far that it’s not possible to come back to lead luxury once again. Someone might think, I myself don’t have that much money that’s why I am saying that…believe me I am not a poor guy. Still most of my and my family’s income spends on poor people. Please imagine children without food old man like your father seating in the foot path and asking for money….could Mr. Mukesh Ambani leave him like that. Around $2 billion would have saved millions of people’s life in the poor country.

I am not saying Mr. Mukesh Ambani to stay under the tree with his family and give all $2 billion to the poor…..he has 100% right to lead a luxury life because he worked very hard to be this position but should think about those people who are homeless kids crying for food and mother is not able to provide any food day after day….think about those parents feelings who’s very loving children dying for medicine for food.

Don’t think my words will make any changes to your mind but please open your eyes….
Please help the poor as much as you can. You have the power…..God gave you the opportunity to earn blessing from the people. Don’t let this opportunity to like that….

I Wish I had chance to do something more for the poor’s……….

God bless u….
Barsan

Why the sudden racist remarks from some people? Completely unnecessary.

whao! what a huge building for just 5 persons alone.well i will say it too much money.how do you expect a guy after making so much money to start reasoning like an average person he has got the money so let the young man be.please.....................................................................................................................

#31, stop being such a jackass! Not all Americans have no sense of leadership. Some of us are even potty-trained! You need to stop hating on Americans in general, pick an individual to slam. Everyone is different, some have better leadership qualities than others. And that goes for people in different cultures and of different nationalities, as well. You shouldn't bad talk an entire country full of different kinds of people, that's like me saying, "All Montanans ride horses and live on farms." And thats completely false! I know because Im Montanan. But do you see what i mean? Your grouping all Americans together and saying that we're rude, stupid followers. If you think that, then your an imbecile and im suprised you even know how to turn your computer on, much less use it.

I know everybody goes on about it and everything but seriously, instead of wasting so much money on that peace of shit, he could have done something to help others. Rich cunts forget theres anyone else alive. I'm Indian and i can imagine his attitude towards others.

this is awesome

Reading comments of all the above and particularly of those who are jealous. I would like to point out that they should first learn to read about the person before bringing him down. He has created more jobs and given a much better life style to Indian than when we were in India from UK and taken their wealth away using force and leaving them in the state they were in upto now. Now without using force they are creating an empire that will put us to shame. Many centuries ago when we were living in caves they were living in palaces with silks and all the kingdoms people were well to do. As for smell there is more smell in our country than INdia. Atleast there they have a bath a day what excuse do we have. As for his house. Why should he take land away and utilise only for himself. This way he has left land for others to utilise. More Eco friendly than Bill Gates or Warren or Brad.

He had donated more money than Bill or Warren. He has given more to the prove by creating employment and bringing weatlh that nation than us using arms to kill the Muslims.

First off, i completely agree with #55 madison
Second, why would anyone be jealous? Who would want an overpriced tacky piece of shit like that house?
And #44 Appu, dude, really, you are an arrogant c***sucker
No one is in awe of that piece of shit but you
Americans have contributed more to the world (maybe not all good) then your country has ever...
Live your life obsessed with money but most of us have passed that phase my friend, there is more to life then wealth

Amazing how many emotions can be brought from the depths of peoples' minds by a few pictures of a massive house. Let's take a look:

We have people saying India is a smelly hell hole, we have people saying America is a smelly hell hole, we have people complaining that this dude didn't spend enough money on helping India's poor (let's hear some evidence people), and lastly we have some folks sticking their noses in the air saying "Oh my god, that house is trash, I wouldn't live there even if I had ten times as much money as that guy" (surely a case of overinflated pride that has been damaged by the opulence of the home, people feel insulted because they see it and they think "this rich guy think's he's better than me, what an asshole")

My final comment is that all the nasty comments that have been posted in response to these pictures serve as a compelling example of what can happen when you give someone the anonymity of the internet. Since people don't have to deal with the repercussions of what they say, they say whatever they want (myself included, if this were an argument between some people standing on the sidewalk outside a mcdonalds, I'd just keep walking).
#8, would you walk up to a flesh and blood Indian and tell them that they stunk? I don't mean to go pointing the blame finger all over the place, but anyone who posts such a rude comment oughta think a bit about the reasons behind why they said it. #8, I have to ask, did you really mean it or were you just saying it out of some strange, unfounded anger?

This house really is ugly....but the narrow minded comments about India is a little overboard. Although it's hard for me to understand why some of these people (I'm assuming some from India) are calling American people fat and stupid...when more than half of them come to America for education?

Anyone read the World is Flat?

Of course India is going to take some jobs and create wealth for themselves...they have 1 billion f***ing people! Compared to Americas..what is it..250 million? So why call us lazy and fat...when we have a quarter of the population you have and basically laid down your whole communication when we wired all your fiber optic cable across the ocean during the tech boom. And created a shit load of jobs when Americas businesses wanted to find cheaper labor..more efficient supply chains..etc. in your country.

But I'm not by any means saying India is lazy either...you just can't take a few ignorant comments from other people and turn america into a hamburger consuming lazy country. I'm 19 and there's no way someone from another country is taking my job...so yah I'm gunna go back to surfing myspace.

i think indians here should really go home and take short walk around when they go to visit ppl they send $$$s back to...instead of riding in cars there...they will then see ppl starving and generations living on sidewalks with shit smelling around 24x7...and for this dude ambani with his billions to build a house for 5ppl like this in a place like that just really goes to show what indian and india character is really about....

i been to mumbai. traveled north,south india. keep in touch with developments for last 8yrs. lots of changes i see in india and with indians...and yet, this ambani dude and ambani/mittal indian wannabees cannot understand newfound prosperity 'techi indian crowd' here is jumping up and own with outsourcing our jobs from US and Europe is short lived, and just as temporary as their belief in any one thing... today they believe in this, tomorrow they will believe in that..whatever they can profit from, they will believe. there are no principles, no morality, no code of conduct..just whatever is convenient.

we in the west built and evolved our society over hundreds of yrs jeudo-christian separation of religion and state secularism. with rampant communal, and religious hatred system, inbred caste system still entrenched, all i can say is that indians are their worst enemies. hindu jihadis chomping at bit to unleash holocaust on minorities in india, are just the ingredient for disastrous future there...and all the call ctrs and outsourcing offshoring 'brain' ctrs will not save india from hatred and violence fire that is hallmark of their hinduvta movement in india. i say, jai hind...kiss my hind :-)

hello there guys - lets be real. as much as i think there is massive poverty and yes, it does smell bad outside when you first come to india - sanitation needs to be fixed there... however, i must say, i have learnt from good friends in india ambani wealth is self made and its a terrific role model for indians in india to aspire to. its capitalism at its best.

i have friends in india who are very proud of these guys, and i think enterpreneurial spirit is what is needed to solve many of india's current problems.
government cannot do everything. has to be a govt. plus private partnership, and i see that happening with current indian administration.

my family origins are from india..or should i say, bharat or hindustan, before the brits called it India? nevertheless, india is on a roll, and its enterpreneures are reaping hard fought and hard worked rewards. whats wrong with that?

shams

I can summarize the whole thing as '' fealthy way of displaying wealth''

Ok
I make 1300 canadian dollars a month and my wife makes almost the same .

i dont have a cent of investment .

but the thing is we are happy and smilling 90 percent of the time . we are living in a 2 bedroom 40 year old rental apartment but we realy love it .

you realy dont need billions to be happy , just love each other thats the best thing .
oh by the way i forgot to say we also sponser a child in africa with 30 dollars a months and thats really one of the things that we are proude of .

god bless every one .

It was interesting to read a lot of comments here. As rightly said someone here you have to be happy and make it a better world to live happily. What is the % of multi-billionairs in US/Europe Vs India? How much % of their networth is being give to help the needy to have basic food/education etc? How much is Mittal/Ambani is giving? How many of these guys are really giving out from their heart than for "cheap popularity" to improve their fortune further? How can somebody blame someone based on race? Anybody will be intelligent depending on their environment they brought up or the way they are evolved. Ambani is also doing the same thing killing the local small farmers/shoppers busniness by developing shopping malls or any of that type the way others like Wallmart or someone did. That's capitalism. Definitely when there is capitalism there you cannot expect morality. How many of us really would like to have an utopia? How many of us can be rude against someone because the civilizations or the migrations of animal/human race to various places at different times based on their search for food/better living? How many of us can blame outsourcing? Blame the corporations who outsource for better profits? Blame the government/president who give tax benefits who outsource? Or who invade other countries coz their friends' oil/defense companies want to have more profits? Everywhere corruption is there, it may be at highest in west and in india it may be in every part of hierarchy. Politicians loot money, Hindus/Muslims/Christians or whoever who believe in "GOD" should really understand why they fight for? In Hindu in olden days those who created the scriptures were exploiting the lower castes by selling GOD. What is happening in Christians/Muslims? The separation of them itself is a tragedy. How many of us can blame of "Holy war" of Muslims? How many of us cannot blame Bible, since it (Lord" also said "Go and kill those who worship idols?" Why do we all blindly believe all these coz of our ignorance about the world or the real history. How many of us can blame that India's povery? How many of us think about the looter kings or colonialists? How many of us can think of 5000 year migration to India? How many of us can really say Indians/Americans stink? How many of us can throw all our comments openheartedly without any anonymity? How many of us will build $billion home if we have some $43 billions. Does that really make us happy? Everyone has to think and answer themselves with no strings attached to their thoughts.

pamigay mo na lang pera mo sa mahihirap na taga india!

omg class house ye real nice man

why do u hate yoko ono? #4?

Well.. There are couple of comments at the top of the list which are ridiculous.. You visited the site just to see one of the most expensive houses.. no one in this f***in world asked you to comment on India or America.. if Americans feel that indians have taken away their jobs.. think about it.. why did this happen.. not coz an american is lazy.. its only coz of the economy.. American companies wanted to save some shit load of money to enjoy the economy there.. at the same time Indians are so talented that they can create anything with a flash.. This house is nothing.. there are so many other things which an american cant do but indians have done it & proved it over the period of time.. Bill gates has setup his own center in India (Bangalore) why does he want to come to india.. its coz of the globalisation.. If the companies are feeling its worth getting into india.. then they are... its of no use when you people sit n comment everytime that india has taken amerian jobs.. prove your self with the same skill set as indians have.. be competitive.. be predictable.. Then take back your jobs.. your own companies there feel that indians are competitive... prove your own companies wrong first n then take back your jobs.. we work day nite.. which definitely you people cant.. One shouldnt forget that india was ruled by britishes.. they took away the wealth in the form of GOLD.. provided we had our own wealth.. none of them in india would have been poor.. we have people in india who are much richer than compared to america or any part of the world.. Indians can survive any part of the world but not an american.. Not that they are lazy but coz the indians are aware of what is required to stay competitive & they update themselves every time its required...

Oh man, that house is sick! I would totally live ther if I could, uh, afford it. :p

how dare you make fun of my house
boo

This house is truly awesome. Mukesh has every right to do with his moni as he pleases. So to all the Americans and English {basically all the white brainless trash) all your comments are not going to change the fact that this is the worlds most expensive home owned by an Indian. I cannot believe some white people are so stupid

Indians have some nerve to say ANYTHING about Americans. We are the most poised, FREE, civilized nation in the WORLD. All you foreigners are haters because you can't produce more attractive, successful people. America is the greatest nation ever. If India was so great...why are all of you coming over here? If America is so stupid...why do we have so many foreign exchange students? I'm surprised that you would bite the hand that feeds most of you. HAHA. and yes mushami, or whatever, did great designing this house...but seriously, some of that money could have gone to the shit smell over there... Mushami is going to wake up in the morning to 18 different kinds of wood, tons of chandeliers and the stench of his countries poop...whatta way to start the day!!! F*** Indians.

America is the stronest country in world!!! Amazing that you would say that to america! India sucks!

Wow. Never seen so many self-righteous bigots in one setting. I thought Geekologie was supposed to attract a better class of commenters than thesuperficial. Guess I was wrong.

Friends,

I would like to invite u gyz a visit to india first before saying any shitty stuff here, well i m an indian, and according to my experience, when an american or foreigners visit to india, i dont know y but they luv to see the poor part of india, nd they make documentrys on it n earn money of it. try to visit New Delhi, or search sum pics about New Delhi over internet. i m sure u will find Delhi more beautiful den D.C. India got freedom in 1947, n we are trying are best to do best like other, we dont hate other. but i dont know y u gyz hate us.

N one more thing, The house mukesh is building is Office cum Residence. I think top 3 floors are for residential purpose, n rest will be for his official purpose.

So dont hate others, a request as human brother

gwe hot to rot kwit thinking youre too bad b coz youre 4rm america. u know u also want such acrib thru ure attitude shows neva touched $10,000 i'm 15 but i sure ihave more cash that eva dreamed off

your all idiot, yes indias smell but its because the herbs and specimens they use to cook their foods, not because they dont take a shower. but then again i could be wrond...... anyways back to the true topic, there is no need to waste so much money on a freaking house, but the anbitions of the wealth and power takes over and u dont realieze taht what you are doing is pointless. think of thise. if u had a million dollars u would by everything that makes u happy. and for people that are that rich buying such a house makes then feel happy and like they've accomplished something althou its true they could spend that money on something usefull but its their money and they get to choose what they waste it on

that's a inspiration for me.....he did for himeself but after 13 years i'll be contributing huge amount of money on some social cause

im a indian and i cant believe this guy would waste 1 billion dollars for a stupid 22 story house with chandeliers and other stuff... what a waste for only 5 PEOPLE gosh some people are dying of thirst and hunger they have no money and houses and all this guy thinks about it is family... i mean sure i would think of my family and stuff to... but this guy has 1 BILLION DOLLARS... he can save lives and give some money he doesnt need 2 spend all of it for the poor... i mean he can use some of the money for his kid's education.... y would u need a theater?! no point this guy has no life... just wants 2 be a big shot.. and stuff.... plz.. hes the 5th richest man... u dont need 2 show off... ronald reagan and other people that r stinkin rich helped the poor and supplied them food and stuff... all indians shoudl be disappointed at this guy's selfishness.. He was so foolish and wasted 1 billion dollars. i woudl save that money for like retirement and give soem 2 the poor... PLEASE READ THIS AND WRITE BACK :) *i cant wait till the nxt earthquake comes near his house*

o not ronald reagan srry :P i meant biill gates lol :D stupid ambani...

All is good... people have choice of doing anything... Dont play blame game... love all ... :)

Crazy mother f*ucke*r to build this house - gone out of is mind to build such house and live only f*uckin*g 4 people?

Holly Shit !!!

This f*ucke*r could actually help millions of homeless people to improve their lives such as spending money towards education and social welfare.

If he is a sensible man of gifted fortune, must live a simple and humble life with required luxury to enjoy life in a best possible manner.

That need to be sold and given away for people in need - that's my verdict!

stupid ambani no heart no soul no brain thats fosho -_-

"SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE" a film depicting my country's "Slum poverty" has become a conversation of anger and embarassment to manny Indians although Internationally the movie is a "Super duper success".
India's richest citizen Mr Mukesh Ambani is building the World's costliest private residence which seems to be creating anger and embarassment among "Non-Indian Citizens", a real hilarious paradox of undecipherable India.
YOU DEFINITELY CANNOT PLEASE ALL THE PEOPLE.

yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuudiputahhhh!

i think we dont really care at all if he will have that expensive house am i right? he has the money anyways. .besides we dont spent

I agree to Tom Daschle..

What a waste of money, he could've just helped the less fortunate with that amount.. he can build or buy a house for 50 million dollars, and the other remaining from that 2 billion dollars could have just been donated to build schools or given to a charity for poor people...

Ambani sucks!!
Bird brain piece of S#!T, you asshole!!

i guess mukesh ambani could have made better use of his money . but then, it is HIS money and he is free to use it whichever way he wanted .

as for you "HOLIER-THAN-THOU "americans, you could have made better use of 2 trillion $s , which, by the way, almost completely destroyed iraq and killed around a million innocent people . and , judging by your past record, it is nothing surprising, i guess.

and, ambani did NOT earn money by constructing defective chemical plants
(obviously to increase profits) and killing thousands of people (refer to bhopal disaster) and giving measly compensation by saying 500 $ IS PLENTY GOOD FOR AN INDIAN . in case you didnt know what i was referring to, it is union carbide and dow chemicals -both american companies.

someone mentioned gaudy trucks . i havent seen any of those , except in in foreign ads showing india (maybe they were popular a couple of decades back , i dont know) .as for weddings, i agree . some wedding guests put on more jewellery than the bride.

you people simply cannot stand the third world getting rich , right? your bad.

he is most rechiest crook (MUKESH AMBANI) in the world he has given thousand of dollers bribe to the employee of" waqf" organization to buy this expensive land ,this land is belongs to charity " WAQF " IF u compare this man MUKESH AMBANI and BILL GATES the story is BILL GATES DONATING HIS WEALTH TO THE CHARITIES AND THIS MAN MUKESH AMBANI TAKING LAND AND WEALTH FROM THE POORS WHO HAVE NO ROOF TO STAY .

Mukesh Ambani's Antilia Commercial Pvt Ltd wants the Waqf Board to hear its version before the custodian of Muslim religious property takes control of a piece of land at Mumbai's Altamount Road, where the industrialist is building his 27-storey dream mansion.

In its reply to the Waqf Board notice, which sought restoration of the 4,532 sq mt property under section 52 of the Waqf Act as it was acquired illegally, Antilia has requested that its version be heard before any decision is taken on the issue, official sources said in Mumbai on Wednesday.

The reply was received on Tuesday by the Waqf Board, which had issued the notice on July five, informed sources told PTI.

The notice had given Antilia seven days to reply on why the Altamount Road plot should not be restored to the Waqf Board as the deal was deemed illegal by the state government.

The state government had on July 3, dashed off a letter to the Waqf Board, drawing its attention to the findings of an inquiry committee which had found 'truth in charges that the Altamount plot deal was illegal.'

The government had directed the Waqf Board to proceed 'as per section 52 of the Waqf Act against Antilia,' the sources said.

Section 52 pertains to acquiring Waqf property in contravention of provisions of section 51 of the Act, the sources said.

After the Waqf land deal issue was raised in the ongoing Monsoon Session of the state legislature, Maharashtra Chief Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh had announced that a judicial commission would probe all Waqf land deals in the state.

Antilia Commercial, in its reply, has sought to 'elaborately' explain how the land deal was legal, the source said. The reply, sent through Antilia's Mumbai-based legal counsel, cites the sequence of the Altamount land deal.

"The reply speaks about the amount of money paid to the Currimbhoy Orphanage Trust from whom the land was acquired in 2002. It also refers to the Rs 16 lakh (Rs 1.6 million) Waqf fund received by the Board from the Trust," the source said. -- PTI

The entire building will have nine elevators and 600 servants will be employed to make sure that everything is in order.

However, Antilla is not free from problems. The Maharashtra State Waqf Board has accused the Ambanis of deceitfully acquiring the 4532 square meter of land from them, the same piece of plot on which the Antilla is coming up.

The Waqf Board has told the Supreme Court that the plot in dispute was given to Maharashtra State Waqf Board in 1957 by Jivaji Raje Scindia and was being used by a trust, set up by social activist and philanthropist Currimbhoy Ebrahim Khoja, to look after destitutes and orphans belonging to the Khoja Mohammedan community.

After the Waqf Act was legislated, the properties belonging to the orphanage as well as other similar ones came to be treated as Waqf properties, which can be sold only with its permission, the Waqf Board contended.

The Matunga-based Currimbhoy Ebrahim Khoja Orphanage, however, sold the land to Antilia Commercial Private Ltd, a company floated by the Ambani family in May 2002 without the Waqf Board's permission for Rs.21 crore ($5.25 million), much below its estimated market value of Rs.400 crore ($100 million).

The sale deed also stipulated that Antilla would be using the land only for "pious, religious and charitable purposes" as desired by Ebrahim Khoja, a condition which was later even waived off by the orphanage trustees in connivance with an erstwhile Waqf Board chairman who wrongly accepted Rs.16 lakhs ($40,000) from the Ambanis to settle the deal and waive off objections to it.

However, on May 2, the Supreme Court granted temporary relief to the Ambanis by announcing that it would not intervene in the construction of the building on Waqf Board land in Mumbai and has directed the matter back to the Bombay High Court. Earlier, the Bombay High Court had stayed the Waqf Board proceedings.

Meanwhile, many people have criticized Ambani for opulent display of his wealth in a city which also shelters the biggest slum in Asia, Dharavi, which houses about 600,000 people in ramshackle buildings.

According to Praful Bidwai, a newspaper columnist, the divide between rich and poor was becoming acute and with "Mr. Ambani...building an edifice" to reflect his own ego, the "tide of anger about such absurd spending" would only keep growing.

"It will not go down well with the public," he warned.

- Bindu Kumar.

well i love the house but i think that the house is WAY to much for an person in the world to live in and it is also way to much in cost so yea i would never want to live there unless it was free but guess what it will never be free so then i would never want to live there so yea!!!!!!

Nice idea for a home, a little too lavish though. What is all the hating about? Jealous? I think soooooooo.

Whatever the flaks/abuse/hate Mr Mukesh gets in this forum.. but he'll go down in history for owning one of the most beautiful and unique piece of architecture home. Too bad it is in India. If it is in...

Everyone on this page who has done a bit of cussing must be a little jealous. If this guy has made his billions due to his own merits and wants to build a 22 storey yard let him be.
If there are so many homeless and poor people in India, its down to their own inabilities. No-one can help them without them helping themselves first.
If there has been any mis dealings done on the ownership of land where he has built his home, then by no means should one just blame him but lets also blame the greedy bastard that was open to this rich mans corruption.
India is a very nice country regardless of the many comments on this site, also has very many beautiful landmarks which are not credited to the white nation at all but like the world over, every country in the world has some degree of poverty. Its really down to the individual to pick themselves up, lets not blame an individual for not giving, i'm sure if any of you were to win the lottery, not many of you unless you are extremely religious would give a portion of it to the needy.

LEAVE HIM BE!.
