Forbes estimated Ambani's net worth at $43 billion in March. Reliance Industries was founded by Mukesh's father, Dhirubhai Ambani, in 1966, and is India's most valuable firm by market capitalization. The couple, who have three children, currently live in a 22-story Mumbai tower that the family has spent years remodeling to meet its needs.
They consulted with architecture firms Perkins + Will and Hirsch Bedner Associates, the designers behind the Mandarin Oriental, based in Dallas and Los Angeles, respectively.

Who's the architect?
God, that crystal-hung palm-carpeted dining room - I actually dream of designing a space like this, where not only budget but also taste is no limit! A project where I don't care if it's good, as long as it's impressive!
'The hydroponic plants, grown in liquid nutrient solutions instead of soil, lower the energy footprint of the home by absorbing heat and sunlight and providing shade that helps keep it cool'
-cause you want to be socially conscience when building a billion $ home...
they say money cant buy taste...
Haha yes! No limit to their perception of "need" either.
Is that render?
Either way money doesn't buy taste obviously!
Also, i want a ice-room.
i cant stop throwing up
I wished they showed a render of the basement with the unicorn pasture and rainbow machine. I also hear that every day at 4:00 pm it rains gold coins in the master bedroom.
i hear that the entertainment level will be screening this italian masterpiece on a continuous loop.
Man,
Are we jerky elitists or what.?
But seriously ughhh.
Tearing down all the building around the home and replacing them with glass structures was probaly the most expensive part.
Ugly and immoral.
where do the airships dock? and i want to see renders of the holodeck!
is there a more descriptive word than 'overkill'?
