And they say India is poor

BBC reports of the new high rise building planned by Mukesh Ambani.

"Details have emerged of a huge new building in Mumbai that is being built by India's richest man, Mukesh Ambani.

His skyscraper home in the city will be over 170m tall and will have an army of 600 staff to manage it.

Its 27 floors on a 4,532 sq metre plot will provide a panoramic view of the entire city of Mumbai (Bombay) once it is completed next year."

on a more serious note - its good, isn't it? In west, there are filthy rich celebrities. While In India, we didn't have someone who lavishly shows his wealth (Vijay Mallya is an exception). This at least would make westeners think - holy potatoes, a $1 bn house ??

@Ganesh >> :)...I can't say I dis agree with you. But I reckon he can do what ever he wants with the money he has. They did a good job of dividing the Reliance empire...

"Holy Potatoes" >> nice expression :)
