Top 6 Things You Don’t Know about the Most Expensive House in the World

If you had more money that you could possibly spend, how would your dream house look like? While most of us can only dream of a double garage or an inside pool, billionaires actually have the luxury to design their perfect house. Today, we would like to talk to you about Antilia, the first home in the world to be worth more than $1 billion. Antilia is the dream house of billionaire entrepreneur Mukesh Ambani, the wealthiest man in India.

Read below to find out the top x things you don’t know about Antilia, the 27-storey high mansion of the Ambani family. There’s so many features and neat things about this house, that we can’t really imagine why the Ambanis would ever want to leave home. Curious to see what we’re talking about?  Let’s take a look at the countdown.

No. 6: 9 Elevators

With 27 floors to visit, one would assume that the property is well serviced by elevators. But nonetheless, 9 seems a little bit much, considering it is more than what most apartment buildings have. 2 are destined for the parking area, 3 are for guests, 2 for the quarters of the family, and the remaining 2 for staff members.

No. 5: A royal ballroom

It is only understandable that a home worth over $1 billion comes equipped with its very own ballroom. The Ambani ballroom is an absolutely enchanting room, with silver stairways, projection screen, a central landing, and even an entertainment stage. The ceiling is almost entirely occluded by crystal chandeliers that create a fairy tale like feeling.

No. 4: The health floor

One of the 27 floors of the Antilia was dedicated solely to health and wellness purposes. Apart from the classic gym, the health floor of the house also features a yoga studio, a dance studio, a lap pool, a Jacuzzi, a juice bar, and separate changing rooms for men and women.

No. 3: Home cinema Ambani style

The definition of home cinema for most people is a flat screen with surround sound. But the Ambani family took this notion to a whole new level when it decided to dedicate an entire floor to it. The entertainment floor is designed to resemble an authentic theater, complete with a snack bar and a wine room.

No. 2: A love for cars

A billionaire being passionate about fast, expensive cars isn’t unusual, is it? Well, no, but building a parking area that can fit up to 168 cars is not something you see every day. 6 of 27 floors of the Antilia are reserved solely for cars, those of Mr. Ambani himself and for guests. The house even features its very own car service station.

No. 1: The Ambani children clean their own rooms

Ambani employs a staff of 600 people according to Forbes Magazine, so one would expect that the family doesn’t really lift a finger around the house. But you would be mistaken. Whenever the Ambani children, who study in the US, come home from holiday, they have to clean their own rooms. If this isn’t a display of good parenting skills, we don’t know what is.
