ambani’s son is a foolish man he dont know how to use proper way for money output
I agree – it’s an interesting building, but a waste of money.
Totally waste of money if he is a real man he should invest these money in to poor people in India first of all .If he doesnt know about the poor people in India ask him to eatch slumdog millionaire movie I mean not the whole sstory just 1st 15 minutes then he will get the clear picture of the India .God makes people richer n poor nothing is in our hand so if god wants he ll make even the Ambani poor ,so this message is totally for the Ambani family atlest ill hope his private secretary go through this n give him this message,even im a sort of humble guy from srilanka n now in UK ,I dont have any personal jeolusy o what ever with the Ambani o the rest of tycoons im just talking about the reality .
Please try to do atlest something for the poor mankind
so if there r poor people the rich shld live like the poor?
is this what u r suggesting?
slumdog movie was shit even uk has shit places but they dont show it.and if u r tlkin abt inveting it for the poor and all my dear friend he does, his reliance shares r doin well and ppl who bought it r happy wid it. so dont wrry abt india look at ur srilnka 1st LTTE and all…
well, everyone has their own choice to live their life.
F*** off Mbain hope u giving ur ass to Mukesh ,I dont have any jeolousy o what ever i told the truth n u told me that Uk has even worser cities than India n Sri Lanka ,No my friend for god shake nothing has happened like that .Forget about the war in Sri Lanka that is we r fighting against terrosits LTTE here Im talking about the waste of money n if he invest this money in to a business lots of people would have got jobs and look after their families ,n I know thats his money n he can use it the way he wants but he should rememner atlest his old history and how he grow up.when the money comes people think that is because of there talent o what ever but thats not the true .Everything happens for the god s will.
Guys – please watch the language.
Nothing is useless in this world, So every thing that created would me a message that give a message to the mankind either Good or Bad from which a trend can be created. Think positive, why only Ambani? Why should’nt we try to build this type of house? God gave equal rights to evey one in this world to live, but its in our hands how we make it. He is building his house with what he has and he is happy with that. A poor person is staying in slum ofcoure he had that. But every one are equal. Its in our mind that one is rich and other is poor. If Ambani and a poor come to your place you treat them in the same why..If possible make them sit on the same table and serve…else make both of them sit on floor and serve, But don’t separate them by their wealth or character etc, etc…..I mean to say every are equal either rich or poor. Every thing that created is useful. It depends on how we utilize the created…….
cool house… he deserves it for the hard work he has done..
hi very swwt home.
he is earning and he is spending for his own purpose,,,, y should he think abt the slum peoples and all… he is not a hvg a political party to go to slums and admire the society,,,! Think u r a business man and u owing a brand new BMW….! u can opt a NANO also rite a cheap one, but u wont think that,, do u know y,,,, because u want to enjoy ur earned money,,,,,!
I completley agree with Mr.sen, “Mr. Human being” please look at yourself first, even if you had that much money as mukesh ambani does, u would also be thinking about makign a similar house like this, everyone does, its human nature, and corectly said by sen, its his hard earned money, he should use it the way eh likes. Every one has certain gaols in life and when one achieves those, this is how they celebrate thier success and feel satisfied. Mr.Human being dont you have aims of gettign somwhere, or probably expecting a pay rise in your company, wat would u do with that extra money, buy a better car or a better house right? you wouldnt think about giving the extra hard bonus for charity and shifting to an apartment from a good villa, or perhaps selling of your BMW and paying the money to charity and tarveling by metro in UK? Ask yourself fisrt, would u do that, OFCOURSE NOT!!! so please stop pointing fingers at others, bring a change in yourself…
BTW amazing house and im really proud of Mr.ambani, the top asian billionaire in the Worlds richest list,all of us dream of having our names in that list…Congratulations Mr.Ambani…u make us proud 🙂
Guys when you can’t get it , don’t crip about it 🙂 be happy for him
Looks like a sandwitch with green sauce everywhere:p Waste of money!! The design of MCB tower in Pakistan is far better..
Ms Dania,
You wanna be proud ? be proud of Edhi from Pakistan , the guy has given his whole life to server humanity , be proud of Mother Teresa…..don’t be proud of a rich guys with bling bling dollars
Thats just an advice….lolz
The construction plan of the house is nice…. According to his standard the house in not so expensive…. I think this his dream house…
Hey first of all thing i would like to congratulate Mr.Ambani.
That house most be a dream house for every business men… but it deserve to the one who has given his complete effort & hard work to his business.
i have seen the complete tower very closely, while seeing tower from bottom to top it look like it has reached a seventh sky.
All the best for all your new house???
I wish to good every one should have house even if it is not a dream house also.
Keep Rocking. God bless you all.
i think that’s the 8th wonder in the world….
brilliant………….fantastic…… famtabulous…. just out of this world..
wow man…….. u hve just created a heaven on the earth…….
congo Mr. Ambani……..wat a master piece one day i will buy this house from you for sure. Hats of to u man. Bu also start a charitable institution like bill milanda gates foundation
Wat ever it may be, i feel everybody has the right to spend their earning as per there desire..
Its easy to speak up,above mentioned people has commented various things….think once again if u were being the richest person of the world….
Mukesh Ambani is right on his place…
Every one have their own way of living.If we have adequate money we can help poor through donations upon their parents so that their name can be still existing in this world and people say he has and he is doing a good job.what ever it may be house plan is very good and he has arranged every thing under one roof. I like this. I wish all the best and dont forget the rest who have supported in your work i.e staff members etc.
hi.. its a dream house very true… but the actual desrver for this place should be dhirubhai ambani….else..one can only think of this house in dreams… whether he is wasting money or not , that is his prob.. whosoever says that , should check that out of their income , how much part u donate…
all the best ambani and congratulations.
important note:- i think that the engineers need to pay very close attention at the building design, i think there are some week spots in the building design which could lead to structural damage in the longrun. though the amenities of the building look very interesting, but the appearence does not look very interesting. i think it looks like the kids building design with the wooden blocks.
Ambani son is mad.He is wasting money.if he put this amount to any project many people get the job& he can make profit
he is great foooooool in the world
our INDIANS SHOULD BE FEEL PROUD OF HIM HE IS HELPING THE POOR PEOPLE

Well, we can’t be the ones telling him how to spend HIS money.
Mukesh bhai is No 4th The world best reachest man and his Net worth is $29billion. he spent only $2billion for his home it’s not good. i don’t like it’s design.
it’s design like hotel not like home. if we talks about The world top 10 Expensive Homes In The World. No 4th is “Waterfront Estate” and it’s cost is ($100 million).so compare between The world reachest man with The world Expensive Homes.
waste..of money…………

I agree each one to his own. Also, what make Mr.Human thing that Ambani does not contribute to the poor !.the same God you believe in has bestowed wealth to him and if he wants to praise that same God and thank him and show it off ..well good for him. No matter how much money you pump into the so called poor there is always going to be more….it will go on for eons..however nothing is forever…so enjoy this for now. All the best Mr.Ambani, to many more.Cheers.
Moderate thinking being.
total total wastage of money …..should have thought of something 4 da poor
Nobody will ask him to live with poor people, he constructed the building above millions of poor people who are suffering for their daily bread……………
This is a national disgrace for India.
One would have thought that a Stanford educated Indian industrialist, whose father had worked his way out of poverty, would be sympathetic and thoughtful of India’s millions … of their poverty … of their sensibility.
Instead, he builds this Babylonian edifice to his Ozymandias like ego … sans any aesthetic or ethics.
Mahatma Gandhi, another Indian, had said – “There is enough for everyone’s needs. But not enough for everyone’s greed.’
That maxim is applicable today to all of India’s elite … that close knit cabal of corrupt politicians, graft taking bureaucrats, thieving industrialists and fawning slavish upper middle classes.
They are so taken up with the idea of status, class and upward mobility … of Bollywood glitz and glamour … that they have cocooned themselves into a virtual huddle on their laptops and televisions and refuse to acknowledge that a desperate nation with red and angry eyes is staring vacantly at them … not knowing what to expect … not expecting anything … but justice … and a recognition that they, the poor and the deprived are humans too.
Shame. Utter shame.
The Buddha weeps today.
Beautifully written…
Jai shri krishna……
congratulations !
Great AMbani U Deserve it………:)
I m also in queue….
Stumbled to this website and OMFG! First of all I am sick of hearing stupid arguments about Ambani that – he should think about people’s welfare- and other pretentious BS. It’s his life, his money and his say. So if you are jealous/ poor/ ignorant/ unlucky or any other reason because of which you are pissed it’s not his fault. He does enough for this country. More than any of you will ever do. I bet most of you hadn’t done anything. This is a free country let everyone live freely. No one says anything to you when you buy a Honda car/3 bed room aptm etc instead of nano or 2bed room apt. Try to be happy with what you all have, instead of bitching about these things. If you are that much interested about the conditions of poor people go join a NGO or start your own. Do your own bit and stop griping. Don’t behave like MNS!
I have said enough, now I know many of you will reply negatively to this msg or maybe ignore it completely. But my job here is done.
Totally agree with Abhishek’s comment. Reliance Industries employs thousands of employees and thousands more indirectly. Let him enjoy his inherited and earned wealth. We need a thousand more Ambani’s to get India out of its rut. But the thing looks ugly. Like a stack of lego blocks stacked up haphazardly. And I hope he provides accommodation for the 600 staff. It should be made compulsory for all residences to provide staff quarters for domestic help, watchmen, gardeners etc. And he should be charged a premium for water usage.
You should have spent this money in building a hospital for poor people and on the top roof you could built your self a nice apartment. Whoever made the map of this house is totally ridiculous minded engineer. I wonder what made you select this shape of the house. It looks so ugly from the outside. You should have taken some inspiration from burj Dubai sort of building. What is this man? You wasted your money on ugly box shape like house. Demolish it immediately and make either a hospital or school.
Mr. Ambani and his family member are really fool. They are nothing to do among the poor people and also the citizen of India. If he donate this huge amount of money for the children of India then they become more Educated they can get more knowledge and so on. They become the leader of the world. Mr. Ambani please think not only your children but also the others children of your country. Because every normal children become special if they can get some help.
There is nothing inherently wrong with vanity projects. The Taj Mahal was a vanity project, after all. It was built for only one person, and she wasn’t even alive at the time. It probably cost a lot more in today’s money, after accounting for inflation, and while I don’t know much about Indian society in the 17th century, I’m guessing there were a lot of poor people then, as today.
The difference, of course, is that nobody will remember Mukesh Ambani’s house in 400 years, while the Taj Mahal serves as a symbol of (among other things) architectural beauty, human potential, and the power of love. No doubt, it was heavily (and perhaps rightly) criticized for the resources it consumed, but the inspiration it has provided for almost four centuries has arguably made that expense worthwhile.
Given his business success and wealth, Ambani has the potential to be remembered in history books, but not if this is the best he can do. I have nothing against his opulence, but I hope he also finds more creative and beneficial ways to be grandiose with his personal wealth.
After day long hectic job, every one needs a sweet home to relax and spend time happily with his family. Mukesh has to his best, having every thing like money, power and above all taste to have his sweet him to be the world’s best and sweetest home. I wish Mukesh and his family members all good luck and blessings from the God to be safe, healthier and richer. He should grow in his business to gain more and create employment opportunities for millions ! God bless you Mukesh. Keep it up !
Maro, Bahen ke landon!
architecturally a very stupid house. Utility wise also a very stupid house.
What a grand waste of money, not making Indians proud. No class whatsoever.
Fabulous! With this skyscraper you have already done justice by offering employment to the poor people of India as its not just the 600 staff that you have but also increased employment opportunities at the construction company, suppliers, the service providers, etc. that you engaged. Everyone gets at least one opportunity in life, but only a few avail it. Further, He always blesses those who serve His fellows. Good luck!
It looks more lile a shopping mall than a house……ha ha ha
Whoaaa…..Even the servants are lucky !!!!!!! 😀
in india lot of peoples are geting food in a day only, pls do something for them. i’m appreciating yuor dream
