Is it a dream home? Well it’s definitely expensive! Antilia is a house
in South Mumbai, India and it’s currently the most expensive home
in the world. It’s worth over a billion US dollars. Let’s take a look ... .
Antilia is on the 10th most expensive street in the world. It’s
174 metres tall and has got 27 floors. Each floor is completely
different. It’s more of a skyscraper than a house.
Antilia is the new home of business man Mukesh Ambani, his wife and three children. Mukesh Ambani
is the richest man in India. There are three helipads on the top of the building for Mr. Ambani’s
helicopters. There are also six floors that can fit 168 cars!
Then there are the family’s floors. These are on the top four floors of the building.
Each member of the family has got their own bedroom, living room and
bathroom.
The home has got a health club, with swimming pools and
yoga rooms. The family can exercise in the gym or dance in
the dance studios. They can also relax in a hot spa bath.
In the evening, they can enjoy a film in the home cinema.
Fifty people can watch a film in the cinema. There is also a
ballroom where the family and guests can have dinner and
parties.
Another special room in the home is the ice room.
Here the Ambani family can cool off from the
hot Indian weather. This amazing room can
even make snow!
Finally, Antilia has got beautiful
gardens on the outside of the
building and green rooms, with
many different flowers and
plants. From the top floors you
can see the Mumbai city skyline
and the Arabian Sea.
