When I started my 6FiguresNBroke blog, I mentioned that I loved my 2006 Infiniti G35 which was financed at a “fantastic interest rate.”  Well even with the great rate, the payment was still $820.00 per month.  Not only was the payment high, but upkeep was also expensive.  See, it wasn’t just your typical 2006 Infiniti G35 coupe, we put several thousand dollars of after-market parts in to the car (to the tune of $13k-$15k).  As a result, the rear tires needed to be replaced twice a year.  These were 20″ tires and wholesale price on each tire was close to $300.00.  So there is $1200/year in tires.

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.
