[Actium]

Plus it's hideous.

India's richest man, Mukesh Ambani, is planning a palace in the heart of Mumbai with helipad, health club, hanging gardens and six floors of car parking.

His wife, mother and three children will live there with him, looked after by 600 live-in staff.

Construction has already started on what will eventually be a 175m tower and planners are aiming to complete it in September 2008.

Earlier this year, Forbes rated Mr Ambani as the richest resident Indian with a net worth of US$20.1 billion.

He came 14th in Forbes' 2007 worldwide rankings.

Currently he is chairman of petroleum major Reliance Industries Ltd, India's largest private sector company

The building, already worth £500 million, could start a rush on skyscrapers.[/quote]

when I read some of the replies in other thread posted by BJ, shows some people's ignorance. The rich always build such things as a symbol or a show off or whatever. Is it any differrent over here or for that matter in any country. As for the differrences between the rich and the poor yes that is a major problem over there but that is the case in any developing or emerging markets. No economy can grow according on basis of equality but the goverments have to keep balancing that.
