Now that we found which is the most expensive building in the world, let’s calm down, take a breath and go forward to the most expensive house in the world. I’ve always been curious about this subject in particular so I’m going to share all the info with you.

It’s not USA guys. It’s actually a house located in Mumbai, India. I know, I didn’t expect either.

The billion-dollar tower in Mumbai has a beautiful, unusual name: Antilia, a name which comes from feng shui. Its owner is Mukesh Ambani, India’s richest man, who was ranked by Forbes Magazine as the ninth wealthiest man in the world. His fortune goes up to 27 Billion.

Six floor of parking, more than 600 people who are working 24/7 for keeping the house clean, three helipads and many more features. It’s indeed the most fancy house in the world. There are people who say it is uninhabited. The owner’s family is just coming for events, for relaxing or parties, but not spending a night here. Isn’t that strange?
