ABC News: Gilded Age: The Billion-Dollar Private Home
At 27 Stories, Mukesh Ambani's Home Will Have a Helipad, a Health Club and 600 Servants. It will be ready for him to move in next year.
The house -- more like a tower, really -- is estimated to cost $1 billion, and its future resident, Mukesh Ambani, is India's richest man.
Forbes magazine has listed Ambiani -- with a net worth of $22 billion -- as the 14th-wealthiest man in the world, whose Reliance Industries Ltd. is India's largest private companyr.
One local newspaper columnist called it "an edifice to his ego." Others have likened Ambani to ostentatious and wasteful Indian rulers of the past.
In a city where about 6 million people live in slums, where apartments that rent for $20,000 a month can claim views of both the Arabian Sea and homeless people relieving themselves, where the rich live among their poor servants, Ambani's display of wealth has drawn criticism.
