Dream home of India's richest man

Charity is great... I do it. But it can only go so far. People who look at the rich and say "They should give it all to the poor" need to consider the number of poor out there. His entire fortune would be a drop of water in an ocean of people.

If he gave 3 billion $$ to everyone else in India, each Indian would get $3. That would be consumed in a day, and there'd be nothing to show for it.

On the other hand, if he uses his fortune to build companies, he can create jobs for thousands.
 
I was a communist!!! Pretty staunch one, still has a little bit of it running in my blood.

Communist are cancer as far as India is concerned, They supported China in 1962.... India got nothing from 1947 - 1991 till it was communist minded.... They are useless piece of pain that India has.

He should at least help his community grow. He can help Mumbai a lot at least .

I like Mr Tata better or the Indian Muslim Billionaire that donated like a Billion dollars for schools for the poor in India.

This is utter foolish, he earned every penny of the money, He knows how to spend on what!

there will be more than 600 full time staff working in antilla..


These are some strange building designs in Mumbai are these buildings earth quake proof they look awefully weak

Such odd designs are normally restricted for buildings size of 3-4 stories a simple earth quake jolt will set 2-3 buildings in the picture on one side

And the buildings appear to be constructed too close to each other

Dont think they are earthquake proof - earthquake would be a big calamity.

I don't think his right to spend that money is being disputed. We can, however have an opinion on ethics behind such decisions. As Liquid said, there is a reason why Mr.Ambani will never have the respect & affection that Mr.Tata or Mr. Premji command.

Actually Building density of Mumbai is much less than that of Shanghai or Hongkong

Indian slum population doubles in two decades
Jeremy Page in Delhi

The number of people living in slums in India has more than doubled in the past two decades and now exceeds the entire population of Britain, the Indian Government has announced.

India’s slum-dwelling population had risen from 27.9 million in 1981 to 61.8 million in 2001, when the last census was done, Kumari Selja, the Minister for Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation, said.

The figure is the latest illustration of how India’s recent economic boom has left behind millions of the country’s poorest people, raising fears that social unrest could undermine further growth.

India’s economy has grown by an average of 8 per cent annually over the past four years, and yet a quarter of its population of 1.1 billion still lives on less than $1 (50p) a day.

The expansion of India’s slums is partly due to the rise in India’s total population, which increased from 683 million in 1981 to 1.03 billion in 2001.

That has been exacerbated by mass migration from the countryside as millions of farmers have forsaken the diminishing returns of small-scale agriculture to seek the relatively high wages of manual labourers in India’s cities.

But the ballooning slum population is also evidence of the Government’s failure to build enough housing and other basic infrastructure for its urban poor, many of whom live without electricity, gas or running water.

India’s largest slum population is in Bombay, the country’s financial and film capital, where an estimated 6.5 million people – at least half the city’s residents – live in tiny makeshift shacks surrounded by open sewers. Bombay is also home to Dharavi, Asia’s biggest single slum, which is estimated to house more than a million people.

Delhi, the national capital, has the country’s second-largest slum population, totalling about 1.8 million people, followed by Calcutta with about 1.5 million.

Mrs Selja says that it will cost India four trillion rupees (£49 billion) to build the estimated 24 million housing units needed to accommodate India’s slum-dwellers. She has called for the Government and the private sector to address the problem jointly and has launched several schemes to provide basic public services to slum-dwellers. But civil rights activists accuse the Government of willfully neglecting India’s slums, while favouring commercial property developers who often bribe local officials and fund politicians’ election campaigns.

“The rise in slums is due to the lack of affordable housing provided by the Government,” said Maju Varghese, of YUVA Urban, a nongovernmental organisation that has been working with the urban poor for more than 20 years. “The Government has withdrawn from the whole area of housing and land prices have gone to such heights that people can’t afford proper housing,” he said.

You won't get me to live in this building , (billion dollar one) I mean its such a horrible design and in mid point its being supported by metal rods lol which obviously will rust with time , but if even a small jolt comes in these odd shaped buildings would go down first followed by the smaller ones built so extremely close to the large ones

By the way how come there are two twin towers in the second image , while in original there were no twin towers are there two buildings with same shape in Malaysia and India


Personally I think this kind of building would have been constructed for 10-30 million dollars max

But the sky line looks great I heard properties are expensive in Mumbai area
