The owner of Reliance Industries of India is building a home that will house the family of 6 and 600 maids/nannies/drivers....???

how big the house has to be to fit the 600 helpers??

Can someone verify whether this is true?

WOW thats insane...I hope its a typo. I have been in some massive houses that have fulltime staff and are beyond anything what a person needs...but 600 people is like a decent size company.

Its probably cheaper than the other status symbol for the super wealthy...mega yachts now are costing a quarter billion dollars and have an operating budget of 15-20 million a year.

Considering that Mukesh Ambani is India's first trillionaire, it wouldn't be a surprise if he decided to get one of those too! :twisted:

Whats all the hullabaloo about?

Its only a poor ol' trillionaire ensuring the Roti, Kapda, Makaan (Food, Clothing and Shelter) for his family!

LOL!! :eat

Curious about land rates in the US and other places... the location where Residence Antilia is being is built is one of the costliest locations in India - costs are something like $625 per sq.ft. The area Ambani has bought is around 4.5k sq.mt i.e. 40k sq.ft approx and he's building 27 storeys on it :shock: holy friggin' cow! At least construction should be cheap, he will simply use what he produces! :kisswink

I should go beg him to give me some for my college fees! :lol:

In the most conspicuous sign yet of India's unprecedented prosperity, the country's richest man, Mukesh Ambani, is building a new home in the financial hub of Mumbai: a 60-storey palace with helipad, health club and six floors of car parking.
The building, named Antilla after a mythical island, will have a total floor area greater than Versailles and be home for Mr Ambani, his mother, wife, three children and 600 full-time staff.

This is from the https://www.guardian.co.uk/india/story/0 ... 35,00.html

This turned out to be a very good investment!
Money makes money, even when a rich spends his money levishly to meet his/her desire. :lol: No one can accuse him that he wasted $$. LOL

And now, the Maharashtra Govt says the land Mukesh Ambani acquired is "illegal".
