A Billion Dollar Home

Billion dollar hotels aren’t super common but there are more than a handful so no one would scoff at the idea of a new billion dollar hotel.  What are your thoughts on a billion dollar home?  Forbes.com is reporting that a home is being built in Mumbai, India that will cost close to two billion dollars.  Yes, two…billion…dollars.  The owner, Mukesh Ambani, is estimated to be worth approximately $45 billion.  So this is a drop in the bucket.

The property will be 27 stories high, have a six level parking lot, nine elevators and a health level complete with a man-made snow flurry room.  This brings the term excess to a whole new level.
