Do You Need A Billion Dollar Home?
In a previous article, I mentioned that Donald Trump
Considering that his networth is estimated at $43 billion that’s less than 5% of his networth. Quite a lot less than the average American has tied up in his house!
The house will be 27 stories tall and will have 400,000 sq ft of living space. I bet they’ll have maps with “you are here” arrows scattered through-out the house, along with handheld GPS device’s for guests. Maybe the’ll even geocaching tournaments too!

The staff and upkeep would be a beast. The mother-in-law floor seems to be a good idea. Over all the fact that it is only 5% makes it seem almost practical, even though it is $2 billion dollars.

As for Ambani doing it, whatever floats his boat. If that’s how he wants to spend his money, that’s his decision.

First a ski slope in the desert, and now this? I’m sorry, but all this excessive oil money is starting to turn my stomache.
If we find an alternative energy source that replaces oil….hes gonna ‘mess’ himself

He’s probably going to be quite old when alternative energy replaces oil. I guess that’s at LEAST 2-3 decades away, but the time they actually develop/refine it and then put in the infrastructure. I’m all for alternative energy, and it will occur in due time, but for now, oil is where it’s at.

This building looks really ugly. I mean I like tall buildings, actually I’m living on the 50. floor of a tall one, but mine looks so much better than this.
I guess he is not planning to sell it ever.
