If you haven’t heard of this home already, then you MUST be living in
a hole. Dubbed “Antilla”, this massive 27-story home is located in
Mumbai, India. Billed as the most expensive home ever built, with a value of $1 billion, the lavish residence was built for billionaire

richest person in India and the 19th richest person in the world. He is
