00:00the most expensive home on the planet in the inner city of Mumbai India not far
00:10from the poverty-stricken slums on the renowned Altamont Road stands Antilia
00:16the most expensive home ever created this home ascends 27 stories stretching 568
00:25feet high granting the massive structure with prime views of the Arabian Sea in
00:31technical terms the home is the second most expensive residential property in
00:36the world considering Buckingham Palace is worth around 5 billion US dollars
00:41however Buckingham Palace is considered a crown property whereas Antilia is a
00:47private residence and the most expensive private residential property at that with
00:53some pricing estimates as high as 2 billion dollars even still any list in
00:58which a residence is preceded by Buckingham Palace pretty much guarantees
01:02that place is going to be over-the-top luxurious and is likely a house I'd love
01:08to move into in this video I'll take you on a virtual informative tour of this
01:13ostentatious estate while engaging all of two of your senses in this massive home
01:19there are several ceilings that are double or triple-heighted so the 27-floored
01:24skyscraper looks more like a 50 or 60-floored building can you imagine only
01:29being as tall as an ordinary 27-floor building laughable on some of the lower
01:36floors there is a multi-level car lot that can hold 168 vehicles including
01:41Mukesh's precious RS5 Crore Maybach a car for very important people somewhere in that
01:48car lot is also a car service station but if cars aren't your style don't worry
01:54the home also has three helipads placed on the roof few things say billionaire
01:59like more than one helipad on the roof both the private car lot and helipads are
02:05violations of residential bylaws in Mumbai but from what we can tell no one
02:10has forced the billionaire's hand to make any changes above the car lot you'll find an
02:15extravagant lobby composed of nine elevators further up is a two-story
02:20recreation center with a lap pool a gym a juice bar a dance studio and a yoga
02:26studio floors like these are how Jeff Bezos transformed his I sell books body
02:32to his I sell what I want physique as you continue to ascend you will eventually run
02:37into a spa and a ballroom the ballroom is adorned with multiple crystal
02:42chandeliers that cover 80% of the ceiling leaving a shameful 20% exposed and
02:48unadorned to capitalize on the entertainment focus areas of the home
02:52there's a movie theater that sits 50 viewers there are multiple balconies and
02:57terraces with luscious gardens hanging over the sleek facade along the home the
03:02vegetation attached to the sides of the building are meant to absorb sunlight in
03:06order to keep the interior as cool as possible hopefully that touch can put a
03:11dent in what must be a monstrous electricity bill as if all this luxury
03:16wasn't enough of an escape from the hot busy streets of Mumbai the home comes
03:21fitted with an ice room equipped with a snow generator meant to mimic a winter
03:26wonderland a creative addition rivaled only by the likes of Willy Wonka the
03:31immaculate structure was designed by architects Perkins and will out of Chicago
03:36and the interior design was overseen by an Australian company called light and
03:41holdings while the 400,000 square foot building is home to just six it's also
03:47meant to make room for a staff of 600 cooks cleaners and security personnel so
03:53that makes the size of the mansion less excessive right I double-checked that
03:58stat by the way and I can confirm a hundred staff per family member the building is
04:04named after a legendary island also called the isle of the seven cities the
04:09tale of this island originates from an old Liberian legend in which bishops
04:13fleeing from the Muslim conquest of hispania escaped to an island and created
04:18seven settlements there there's not much else on that fun fact and no one seems
04:23to know why the owners of the home took to that fabled island but that's the
04:27thing with being a billionaire no one questions your decisions considering the
04:32unique shape of the skyscraper and the fact that its construction costs not six
04:36not seven not eight but ten figures it'd be a fair assumption to presume the
04:42design of the home is symbolic or at least you know on purpose and that
04:47assumption would be correct this incredible structure was meticulously
04:52crafted with Hindi influence and generously laced with religious symbolism within the
04:57of 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
05:15throughout the mansion there are two reoccurring motifs the Sun and the Lotus these symbols are meant to represent rebirth the materials used to stand for these themes include
05:27marble crystal crystal and none other than mother of pearl there is a temple in
05:32the home in which the family of six goes to pray regularly there are many
05:36statues of Hindu deities throughout the home including the Hindu god Ganesh revered
05:42as the remover of obstacles and Shiva the Hindu deity who destroys to make way for
05:49new creation along with religious themes and the motifs of Lotus and Sun the house is
05:54said to have been inspired by the Atlantic Ocean the owner of the two billion dollar
05:59home is Mukesh Ambani a petroleum Titan chairman of Reliance Industries and surprise
06:06surprise the richest man in India Mukesh is responsible for a fifth of India's
06:12exports which is absolutely outrageous considering India makes up for a third of
06:17the earth's population Mukesh's father created a business that turned into the
06:21world's biggest producer of polyester fibers and yarns Mukesh multiplied his
06:26inheritance many times over to become one of the richest men in all of Asia for
06:31years Mukesh was a member of the top 10 richest people in the world and during
06:36one surge in India's stock market in 2007 he was believed to be the richest man on
06:42the planet but as of recently he sits comfortably at the 20th spot Mukesh is
06:48worth 40.1 billion US dollars and is 61 years old did someone ask for a list of
06:56the richest people on the planet okay here it is number one Jeff Bezos Amazon
07:01number two Bill Gates Microsoft number three Warren Buffett Berkshire Hathaway
07:08number four Bernard Arnault Louis Vuitton number five Amansia Ortega Zara number

07:58Alice Walton Walmart number 18 Steve Ballmer Microsoft number 19 Francois Bettencourt Myers and
08:07family L'Oreal number 20 and our guy Mukesh Ambani we just love lists here at Mr.
08:16Luxury as you might have noticed from the list Mukesh is one of only two individuals
08:22from Asia to earn a spot on the list Mumbai is the commercial capital of India and is also called
08:28the city that never sleeps because I guess they didn't know that slogan was already taken this city
08:35is also home to the entertainment industry in India so it's commonly known as Bollywood yet
08:41another thing they ripped from the United States while the city is home to the world's most expensive
08:47house it's unfortunately also home to the world's largest slum the popular film Slumdog Millionaire was
08:55set in Mumbai the public reception of the house's creation has been harsh at best I believe offending
09:02neighbors comes standard when you're creating a home worth over a billion dollars but there is certainly
09:08warrant for any offense taken in this particular case I must admit while the house was built on the
09:14richest stripe of land in the city it's hard to not notice the contrast in a city like Mumbai with
09:19such depths of poverty just blocks away Gion Prakash told the New York Times in 2010 that the home is in
09:27a way reflective of how the rich are turning their faces away from the city in Mumbai 40 percent of
09:34children under the age of five are underweight the gap between the rich and the poor is as stark and
09:40vast here as any other place in the world still there are some that bring up the charitable acts of
09:47the Ambani family which include the creation of a hospital when discussing the moral responsibilities
09:53of the family not to mention numbers of the philanthropic ventures specifically by Nita Ambani
09:58Mukesh's wife which is great in all but no one is going to ignore the gargantuan mansion towering over
10:06the city or any of Mukesh's indulgences other than the mansion years before the creation of Antilia
10:13Mukesh bought his wife an air bus for her birthday for 60 million dollars he had the passenger jumbo jet
10:20refitted with a living room a bedroom satellite TV a sky bar and a spa unlike most families worth billions
10:29the Ambani family owns just the one home as opposed to the expected several around the globe initially the
10:36family shared a house with Mukesh's mother and brothers but after Mukesh's father passed away of a
10:42stroke he decided to break the bank on the 400,000 square foot home the children of Mukesh Anita all
10:49studied at universities in the States Isha the eldest daughter recently graduated from Yale her twin
10:56brother Akash and younger brother are not both graduated from Brown University not that I'm in any
11:03position to judge Mukesh as a father but it's nice to see he raised three Ivy Leaguers that's pretty
11:11much all I've got on Antilia and the Ambani family as always I'm Mr. Luxury if you enjoyed the video
