Thought For The Day

Home! At Last.

What does someone with $50 Billion do when they need new digs?

Build a billion dollar home of course! Below, thanks to Mumbai Mirror are some of the specs:

According to the plan, the house will rise to a height of 173.12 meters, equivalent to that of a regular 60-story residential building. However, (Mukesh Ambani, owner) will have only 27 stories in all, which means each floor will have a ceiling considerably higher than the current average of nearly three meters.


Six floors for parking including space for a total of 168 ‘imported’ cars. A floor for car maintenance is included. An entertainment floor will have an entertainment centre comprising a mini-theatre with a seating capacity of 50. The rooftop of the mini-theatre will serve as a garden, and immediately above that, three more balconies with terrace gardens.

The ‘health’ floor will provide a ‘refuge’ floor – meant to be used for rescue in emergencies. One of these will have facilities for athletics and a swimming pool, while the other will have a health club complete with the latest gym equipment.

For guests there will be a two-story glass-fronted apartment for the Ambani family’s guests above the health floors. One more refuge floor and one floor for mechanical works will be built on top of these apartments.

The four floors at the top, that will provide a view of the Arabian Sea and a superb view of the city’s skyline, will be for Mukesh, his wife Neeta, their three children and Mukesh’s mother Kokilaben.

The plan states that three helipads are to be built on the top floor terrace.

The place will require 600 full time staff to keep it running on a day to day basis!

I know we’ve all seen Trump’s gold encrusted New York apartment, but this guy is in another league entirely.

And I thought my plans for a 1800 sq. ft. log cabin were extravagant! But it’s all nothing when compared to the home that awaits those who will be joining the Lord God of Heaven and Earth for eternity. I’ll wager Mr. Ambami hasn’t prepared for that at all.

Have you?
