You are looking at the world's most expensive house, named Antilla, and located in Mumbai, India. It is owned by the world's 5th richest person, Mukesh Ambani. Certainly if you have money, you can spend it how you like. But this house, or skyscraper, cost around a billion dollars to build in a country where most people make less than $2 a day. To build this monstrosity in a country with such poverty is insensitive to say the least. It appears that Ambani never thought about this point and was surprised when he was criticized after Antilla was completed. As a result, his family has yet to move in. He has a wife and three kids. The house is 27 stories tall and has a staff of 600 people. By contrast, the world's 3rd richest man, Warren Buffet, still lives in the same house he bought in 1958 for $31,500.
