1. Antilia, Mumbai - ($2 Billion)

     Mukesh Ambani, one of the richest man in the world and head of the Mumbai based petrochemical giant Reliance Industries is estimated to be worth somewhere in the region of $25 billion. Every story in the Antilla's skyscraper home will be built to a different specification. The vast variation of materials to be used in its build has tremendously added to its overall cost. The meticulous planning that has gone into this architectural design is astounding and once the 27 -story tower is built it will certainly become a spectacular site for all eyes. Hirsch Bedner Associates are the designers behind this project. The house also has a Helipad on the roof.

These are what I think the most expensive luxurious houses on our planet. When I look at such amazing things, it gives me a passion to work hard to achieve them and it is like a goal to achieve such luxury in life and I think it should be for everyone as it acts as a driving force as we keep enriching the earth and ourselves with our splendid work. Even you can achieve this one day and that day is near.
