Mondays Don't Suck When You're Waking Up in This $1B Home
A $1 billion house is a pretty cool thing to own. If only cause it means you have $1 billion dollars to spend. This monument to self-importance has been up and running since September, but was just recently christened (hindu-ed?) with a housewarming party for 80, which seems like a small number of people to celebrate the opening of a 27-story "house" that will require a staff of 600.
This is a guest post from Just A Guy Thing.
The man behind the house is Mukesh Amban, who is considered to be the richest man in India. The press releases states that the house boasts, in addition to a cinema and other fairly common extravagances, "a lot" of both marble and mother-of-pearl. This fact further supports my theory that, if you don't have a shit ton of mother-of-pearl in your house, you might as well get a tattoo on your forehead that says "poor."

*Sigh* Old news.
The family is decent.
They're billionaires, who cares what they do?
Love the architecture.
Can't imagine spending 1billion on a house, billionaire or not.
If I have that much money, the last place I'm gonna be is home.
ambani*
and he's jain, not hinduHindu or Jain....it all comes to the same thing.
From the looks of it, I'd hate to fall off of one of those 27 stories.
Now that would make Mondays suck (or one Monday, anyway).
It sad that I'd spend it on guitars and food and not... you know... a decent place, with good heat?
No, if I had I bil, I'd become the female Hugh Hefner.From a distance, it looks like a stack of books.
