    Despicable ostentacious display of wealth. I hope it gets blown up.
  • WOW is all I can say what an ugly building and the location could be better as well.

    I dont know of this guy so dont know how he has made his money, but so far as people saying it is unacceptable because of the poverty around him, well Im sure (Imay be wrong) that nobody has simply given him this money surey he has had to work very hard in a country where there is nothing much in the way of oppurtunity to get where he is today?

    Also the same could be said about the UK to a certain extent, we have pensioners here that have to choose between eating and keeping warm in the winter, god knows how many families and people living on the streets, and the thousands of families stranded in b and b's because our local councils seen fit to sell its housing stock off..................................................................

    I know some will say there is a world of difference but watch out people watch out.................................

    If he can see the bl00dy sea, why didn't he choose a lovely house right overlooking it??? And just get chauffeur driven around town when he needed to be in town?

    idiot.

    I don't know Mumbai, but in Bangalore the roads are almost gridlocked for 18 hours a day. That's the only attraction I can see in building that ridiculous 'house' in the centre of town.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    You know with Lego you can just pile all the 'interesting' pre-built components together. It looks to me that that's what they did, and then they went ahead and built it in real life.

    You could probably move your whole street in there and it would be years before he noticed.

    Do you think he changes rooms when one gets dirty?

    Seems a waste of money to me - even if the "value" has increased. Who would he flog it to?
