Good lord this is disgustingly large. Especially considering the economic state of the country it is in.
The Antilia house which unveiled its first renderings just over two-years ago has become a frightening reality, egregiously boasting 27 stories at 568 feet high, with a total area of over 398,000 square feet of living space. What at first glimpse looks and sounds like a typical skyscraper is far from it – the Antilla is in fact a $1 billion family home built for India’s richest man (and Forbes’ fourth richest man) Mukesh Ambani, his wife, and three children.
http://inhabitat.com/2010/10/14/worlds-largest-and-most-expensive-family-home-completed/The home itself contains a health club with a gym and dance studio, a swimming pool, a ballroom, guestrooms, a variety of lounges, and a 50-seater cinema. Three helicopter pads have been installed on the roof, and a car park for 160 vehicles sits on the ground floors. Clearly more space than a housekeeper, or full hotel staff can handle, the Ambani family has employed a staff of 600 to tend to the home!

Hey, he is employing 600 people to do the upkeep on the "house", sounds like he is trying to help the economic state of the country and give people jobs. LOL

That building is amazing. As someone who loves architecture it doesn't get better than some of the concepts that building uses. Wow.

Total waste of space. Bet not even half of that livable space gets used.

The building is cool. What the building is, isn't.

I think it's ugly from a distance. The close up looks a little better.

Its a skyscraper. The purpose of them is cause they dont take up space.

Biggest house around me is hoops player Vince Carter, 42000 sq ft.
This one is for sale, 'as is' for $75 million. Timeshare mogul David Siegel's house.
Guitar rocker Mark Tremonti lives in the house to the right in the pic.

Seigel's ex got his old house, where his mistress was living undetected for 2 years. He was building this mansion with his new wife to show up his ex.

That house is incredible. I really need to start charging to post so I can start saving up for something like that. It would probably only take a couple tens of thousands of years.
