hi everyone welcome back to another video my name is courtney if you don't know me
already and i'm from new zealand so i had a few recommendations for this
recently so thank you everyone who recommended me to this so we actually got a glimpse of
this i believe in the india billionaires video that we did recently it's the most
expensive house in the world for two billion dollars so we had a little bit of a sneak peek
in the video i will link up here if you want to go watch this very interesting um a life that i
feel like we have no idea about okay so let's get into it let me know what you guys think
down below and if you've got anything to add definitely feel free to leave a comment for me
and for other people reading the comments um so without any further and let's get into
the video oh but before we do definitely give this video a thumbs up if you do like it and
also subscribe to the channel if you haven't already for more videos and let's get into it
oh look at those heaters the most expensive home on the planet in the inner city of mumbai
india not far from the poverty-stricken slums on the renowned altamonte road stands antillia
the most expensive home ever created 27 stories stretching 568 feet high it looks like it's going
to be granting the massive structure with prime views of the arabian sea in technical terms the
home is the second most expensive residential property in the world considering buckingham
palace is worth around 5 billion us dollars however buckingham palace is considered a crown
property whereas antilia is a private residence right and the most expensive private residential
property at that with some pricing estimates as high as two billion dollars even still any list in
which a residence is preceded by buckingham palace pretty much guarantees that place is going to be
over the top luxurious and is likely a house i'd love to move into in this video i'll take you on
a virtual informative tour of this ostentatious estate while engaging all of two of your senses
in this massive home there are several ceilings that are double or triple heighted
so the 27 floored skyscraper looks more like a 50 or 60 floored building can you imagine only
being as tall as an ordinary 27 floor bill mia laughable on some of the lower floors there is
a multi-level car lot that can hold 168 vehicles including mukesh's precious rs-5 crore maybach
a car for very important people somewhere in that car lot is also a car service station but if
cars aren't your style don't worry the home also has three helipads placed on the roof three few
things say billionaire like more than one helipad on the roof both the private car lot and helipads
are violations of residential bylaws in mumbai but from what we can tell no one has forced the
billionaire's hand to make any changes above the car lot you'll find an extravagant lobby composed
of nine elevators further up is a two-story recreation center with a lap pool a gym a juice
bar a dance studio and a yoga studio floors like these are how jeff bezos transformed his iselle
books body to his i sell what i want physique as you continue to ascend you will eventually run
into a spa and a ballroom the ballroom is adorned with multiple crystal chandeliers that cover
80 percent of the ceiling leaving a shameful 20 percent exposed and unadorned to capitalize
on the entertainment focus areas of the home there is a movie theater that sits 50 viewers
there are multiple balconies and terraces with luscious gardens hanging over the sleep for caves
the vegetation attached to the sides of the building are meant to absorb sunlight in order to
keep the interior as cool as possible hopefully that touch can put a dent in what must be a
monstrous i want to talk about as if all this luxury wasn't enough of an escape from the hot
busy streets of mumbai the home comes fitted with an ice room equipped with a snow generator meant
to mimic a winter one a creative edition rivaled only by the likes of willy wonka the immaculate
structure was designed by architects perkins and will out of chicago and the interior design was
overseen by an australian company called leighton holdings while the 400 000 square foot building
is home to just six it's also meant to make room for a staff of 600 cooks cleaners and security
personnel so that makes the size of the mansion less excessive i double checked that stat by the
way and i can confirm a hundred staff per family member the building is named after a legendary
island also called the isle of the seven cities the tale of this island originates from an old
liberian legend in which bishops fleeing from the muslim conquest of hispania escaped to an island
and created seven settlements there there's not much else on that fun fact and no one
seems to know why the owners of the home took to that fabled island but that's the thing with
being a billionaire no one questions your decisions considering the unique shape of
the skyscraper and the fact that its construction cost not six not seven not eight but ten figures
it'd be a fair assumption to presume the design of the home is symbolic or at least you know on
purpose and that assumption would be correct this incredible structure was meticulously crafted
with hindi influence and generously laced with religious symbolism within the 27 stories there
are six sections of the home that are meant to reflect earth water fire air sound and light these
elements were placed from bottom to top as to mimic not nickelodeon's avatar the last airbender
but the ascension to enlightenment throughout the mansion there are two reoccurring motives
the sun and the lotus these symbols are meant to represent rebirth the materials used to stand for
these themes include marble crystal and none other than mother of pearl there is a temple in the home
in which the family of six goes to pray regularly there are many statues of hindu deities throughout
the home including the hindu god revered as the remover of obstacles and shiva the hindu deity who
destroys to make way for new creation along with religious themes and the motives of lotus and sun
the house is said to have been inspired by the atlantic ocean the owner of the two billion
dollar home is mukesh ambani a petroleum titan chairman of reliance industries and surprise
surprise the richest man in india mukesh is responsible for a fifth of india's exports
which is absolutely outrageous considering india makes up for a third of the earth's population
mukesh's father created a business that turned into the world's biggest producer of polyester
fibers and yarns mukesh multiplied his inheritance many times over to become one of the richest men
in all of asia for years mukesh was a member of the top 10 richest people in the world and during
one surge in india's stock market in 2007 he was believed to be the richest man on the planet
but as of recently he sits comfortably at the 20th spot mukesh is worth 40.1 billion us dollars
and is 61 years old did someone ask for a list of the richest people
okay here it is number one jeff bezos amazon number two bill gates microsoft
this is 2000 warren buffett berkshire hathaway number four bernard or not louis vuitton
number five amancia ortega zara number six carlos slim hello and family
number seven mark zuckerberg facebook number eight larry ellison oracle number nine larry page
number 11 david [ __ ] you guessed it [ __ ] industries number 12 sergey brin google
number 13. michael bloomberg bloomberg number 14 mahuatang 10 cent holdings number 15 jim walton
number 16 rob walton walmart number 17 alice walton walmart number 18 steve balmer microsoft
number 19 francois bettencourt myers and family l'oreal number 20 and our guys
we just love lists here at mr luxury as you might have noticed from the list mukesh is one of only
two individuals from asia to earn a spot on the list mumbai is the commercial capital of india and
is also called the city that never sleeps because i guess they didn't know that slogan was already
taken this city is also home to the entertainment industry in india so it's commonly known as
bollywood yet another thing they ripped from the united states while the city is home to the
world's most expensive house it's unfortunately also home to the world's largest slum the popular
film slumdog millionaire was set in mumbai the public reception of the house's creation has been
harsh at best i believe offending neighbors come standard when you're creating a home worth over a
billion dollars but there is certainly warrant for any offence taken in this particular case
i must admit while the house was built on the richest stripe of land in the city it's hard
to not notice the contrast in a city like mumbai with such depths of poverty just blocks away gion
prakash told the new york times in 2010 that the home is in a way reflective of how the rich are
turning their faces away from the city in mumbai 40 of children under the age of 5 are underweight
the gap between the rich and the poor is as stark and vast here as any other place in the world
still there are some that bring up the charitable acts of the ambani family which include the
creation of a hospital when discussing the moral responsibilities of the family not to mention
numbers of the philanthropic ventures specifically by nita ambani mukesh's wife which is great and
all but no one is going to ignore the gargantuan mansion towering over the city or any of mukesh's
indulgences other than the mansion years before the creation of antilia mukesh bought his wife an
air bus for her birthday for 60 million dollars he had the passenger jumbo jet refitted with a
living room bedroom satellite tv a sky bar this is just crazy unlike most families worth billions the
ambani family owns just the one home as opposed to the expected several around the globe the family
shared a house with mukesh's mother and brothers but after mukesh's father passed away of a stroke
he decided to break the bank on the 400 000 square foot home the children of mukesh anita
all studied at universities in the states isha the eldest daughter recently graduated from yale
her twin brother akash and younger brother are not both graduated from brown university not that i'm
in any position to judge mukesh as a father but it's nice to see he raised three ivy leaguers
that's pretty much all i've got on antilia and the ambani family as always i'm mr luxury a house
with 600 live-in employees can you imagine the electricity bill like it's one thing to
buy the structure or build the structure but actually the upkeep every single month every
single year i don't even want to imagine it's actually just crazy to me to i i literally can't
fathom having that much money you know they spending all their money making sure that it's
funded every single month but then on top of that doing other crazy stuff like buying an airbus and
kidding it out with this fancy looking interior it's like what how like i actually just can't wrap
my head around having that much money um but it's definitely yeah it's an interesting topic about
you know the the uber rich and people who live in poverty that's definitely a good point
um but at least i guess in this situation he is employing 600 people at least
in the building so yeah let me know what you guys thoughts are on that that's just crazy you guys
is this real life like this doesn't feel real how i cannot imagine i really can't i really can't
crazy let me know if you guys have seen the building before i'd love to see it in person
one day um is it worth going to look a lot of these videos that i watch i i would love to see it
in real life um things like this because it's just kind of it's one thing to see it on a video but
it's kind of a whole nother thing to go see it in real life and um kind of just just look at it and
kind of take it in and take in the the environment so let me know if you've seen this building before
um maybe it's a common thing to see i'm not sure i'm not sure um but yeah let me know what you
guys thoughts are down below as well leave any thoughts comments as well down below um for me
