The One Billion Dollar Condo (Building)

India’s richest man, Mukesh Ambani, is moving in to his new billion dollar house, er, condominium.  I suppose it’s only fitting for a guy worth $18,000,000,000.  Check it out, below.

So what does a billion dollars buy you?  27 storeys, over 398,000 square feet (larger than the Palace of Versailles, for those of you keeping score at home), a 150 car garage and three helicopter pads.  It’s not maintenance free, either: it’ll require a full-time staff of 600.  Sort of makes Dean Gardens look like Marvin Gardens.
