Most Expensive Residential Property Worldwide
The most expensive house in the world is Antilia, a private residence in Mumbai, India, owned by Mukesh Ambani, chairman of Reliance Industries. The 27-story skyscraper home is valued at around 2 billion dollars, according to Forbes and multiple real estate reports.
Antilia spans about 400,000 square feet and includes private parking for hundreds of cars, multiple pools, a ballroom, a theater, and dedicated floors for staff. The property is designed to withstand earthquakes and features extensive security and smart-building systems.
Owner, Developer, and Design Details
Antilia was developed by Lodha Developers and completed around 2010, with design work led by American architecture firms Perkins Eastman and Hirsch Bedner Associates. The home is named after the mythical island of Antillia and uses a vertical garden concept to reduce heat gain.
The property is registered in the name of the Ambani family through a private trust structure. For background on Reliance Industries and Mukesh Ambani, see the company profile on Forbes, and for architectural and real estate context, see the project overview on Lodha Group's website.
