India's Most Extravagant Homes: A Glimpse into Billionaire Living
While homeownership remains a dream for many Indians, billionaires and Bollywood celebrities are investing in properties worth millions, even billions. Let's explore some of India's most expensive homes.
Antilia: Mukesh Ambani's Residence
Undeniably, Mukesh Ambani's billion-dollar home, Antilia, is the most expensive in India. Although it has 27 stories, its height is equivalent to a 40-story building because some floors are double-height. Located on Altamount Road, Mumbai's second most expensive area, Antilia boasts world-class amenities: a health club, spa, terraced garden, and even a temple. Its estimated cost is a staggering Rs. 4,500 crore.
NCPA Apartments: An Unexpected Contender
A flat in NCPA Apartments also ranks among India's most expensive homes. Purchased for Rs. 34 crore, its value, considering the then-prevailing property prices and market conditions, makes it a significant contender. At the time, the cost per square foot was Rs. 97,842. This luxurious apartment is located in Nariman Point, one of Mumbai's most upscale areas.
Mannat: Shahrukh Khan's Abode
Shahrukh Khan's palatial home, Mannat, is estimated to be worth between Rs. 70 crore and Rs. 100 crore. Beyond its luxurious features, significant investment has gone into adorning the home with paintings by M.F. Hussain and other exquisite artworks.
JK House: Gautam Singhania's Mansion
Gautam Singhania's JK House is another of India's most expensive homes. This 30-story, 145-meter mansion, belonging to the Raymond Group owner, is situated at Breach Candy in South Mumbai. It offers every conceivable luxury amenity and breathtaking views of the Arabian Sea.
White House in the Sky: Vijay Mallya's Penthouse
Vijay Mallya's penthouse, "White House in the Sky," located at UB City in Bangalore, sprawls across an acre. This lavish residence includes a helipad, health club, spa, and a plethora of other luxurious features.
Anil Ambani's Upcoming Residence
Anil Ambani's under-construction home in Mumbai's Pali Hill area is estimated to cost Rs. 5,000 crore. Built on over 1,537 square meters, this opulent residence is poised to become one of India's most expensive homes, potentially surpassing even Antilia.
Ratan Tata's Bungalow: A Touch of Grace
Ratan Tata's elegant bungalow in Colaba, Mumbai, is a sea-facing, 13,500-square-foot marvel. Spread across three stories and seven levels, it exemplifies the refined taste and luxurious lifestyle associated with the Tata Group chairman, securing its place amongst India’s most expensive homes.
