India's Richest Man To Build 60-Story Home...Al Gore Up In Arms!

IndianJust kidding...about Al Gore but not about the 60-story home.  His name is Mukesh Ambani and he is the richest man in India.  He is planning on building a 60-story home for his family in the heart of Mumbai.  The monstrosity will feature a helipad, health club, hanging gardens, six floors of parking and 600 live-in staff.  I guess it was only a matter of time before the Ambani family outgrew their current home...a 14-story building named Sea Wind.  Mr. Ambani was ranked 14th on the 2007 Forbes' richest worldwide rankings list with a net worth of around US$20.1 billion.  Since the ceilings are 3x as high as a normal buildings, the tower will only have 27 floors.  I am interested in seeing pictures on this one...I don't even know why someone would build such a thing.  This blows extravagance so far out of the water its not even an issue.

I can't find this story anywhere. Do you have any further information or photos about this? I'd love to see them.

those buildings are so beautiful. It is hard to think that man made that

It is amazing how something like Solar Panels (which will be the norm in a few years) is still so expensive to build.

I recommend to build your own installation - people don't realize how easy and inexpensive this is.
