The most expensive real estate on Earth

Sign in to disble this ad
Residential real estate that is. It's in Mumbai, and while it's big, it doesn't look like much from the outside. For ~$1,010,709,000, I would have done something else.

It's not very 'safe' looking imo, wow, money certainly is no object to the purchaser!

The close up pictures look a little better, but honestly, for that money, I'd expect something much nicer looking.

But, I guess when you have that kind of money, you don't care what anyone else thinks.

A former coworker now works for a residential audio-video integrator in London, and they were offered the opportunity to bid on the A/V contract for that...I hesitate to call it a "house"...for that guy's new residence in Mumbai. They did a bit of research, and in speaking to some other tradespeople who had worked on the construction of that monstrosity discovered that apparently Mr. No Dick called them on the phone after they sent him some Past Due Invoices and threatened to kill their children.

My friend's company decided to decline the offer to bid.

There's no way I could comment on this monstrosity without descending into politics and social justice, and getting warned about it. So I'll leave it at that.

When you are rich and have poor taste, you have access to more ways of displaying poor taste.

The Direct TV Russian billionaire commercial comes to mind:



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AkMsSIjQXxo

Best commercial since Volkswagen's "Pimp My Ride" campaign.



It would have been more awesome had Direct TV used the same guy.

If I were going to buy a bazillion dollar property, it sure as heck wouldn't be in the middle of the second most populated cities!
