Indian billinaire Mukesh Ambani has hosted a lavish”open house” party at his opulent new skyskraper residence, believed to the world`s most expensive private home.
Around 80 people attended the party in Mumbai on Friday. The building issaid to be the world`s priciest private residence, with a price tag of over 1$ billion. Top-celling Indian novelist, who attended the party, called the building “The Taj Mahal of 21st centery.”
The skyscraper is said to have a cinema, swimming pools and a helipad, and is named “Antilia”.
Local newspapers said the house would require 600 members of staff to maintain it, and according to the Tomes of India, the first electricity bill, for September, is costing Mr Ambani £98,000.Anti-poverties campaigners have highlighted the contrast between the opulent pad and the plight of many in Mumbai, where half of an estimated 18 millions people live in sprawling, unsanitary slums, with sketchy or non-existent electricity and water supplies.
