s-MUKESH-AMBANI-large

What would you do if your net worth were $22 billion? If you were Indian businessman Mukesh Ambani, you might build yourself the world’s most expensive home. As designed by Chicago architecture firm Perkins + Will, the in-progress glass-tower is estimated at $1 billion and is known to feature, at the least, a health club, multiple “safe” rooms, 3 helipads, 168 parking spaces and require 600 servants to maintain, and physically, the structure stands at 27 stories, or 570 feet tall.

According to the Mumbai Mirror, the tower will also contain:

Floor for car maintenance Sources said the Ambanis would prefer to have all their cars serviced and maintained at an in-house service centre. This centre will be set up on the seventh floor.

Entertainment floor
The eighth floor will have an entertainment centre comprising a mini-theatre with a seating capacity of 50.

Balconies with gardens
The rooftop of the mini-theatre will serve as a garden, and immediately above that, three more balconies with terrace gardens will be independent floors.

The ‘health’ floors
While the ninth floor will a ‘refuge’ floor — meant to be used for rescue in emergencies — two floors above that will be set aside for ‘health.’ One of these will have facilities for athletics and a swimming pool, while the other will have a health club complete with the latest gym equipment.

Family
The four floors at the top, that will provide a view of the Arabian Sea and a superb view of the city’s skyline, will be for Mukesh, his wife Neeta, their three children and Mukesh’s mother Kokilaben.

Air space floor
According to the plan, two floors above the family’s residence will be set aside as maintenance areas, and on top of that will be an “air space floor,” which will act as a control room for helicopters landing on the helipad above.

Nicolas Cage Says He Is Broke (Video)


Actor Nicolas Cage is reportedly completely broke and has a significant amount of debt.

According to Showbiz Gossip the star is selling his off his properties all over the world to gain capital.

The 45-year-old actor is blaming his manager, saying he sent him down to financial ruin. Cage is reportedly beginning a multi-million dollar lawsuit against him.

Sky News reported that Cage owed $6 million in unpaid taxes and defaulted on a $2 million loan. He was reportedly forced to sell a castle in Germany because of his financial situation.

Cage currently has six films due to be released in the next two years.

It’s tough to hear this story right after I watched the Family Man again recently. It’s an “Art Imitates” life situation if you look back to that movie. What’s funny is when some people say they are broke, they still own 5 homes around the globe. The broke that I’ve been accustomed to meant you didn’t have sh!t, an you didn’t own sh!t. I gotta give him props though, he has good taste. I’m always entertained by the type of characters these people are and how they lived based on the things they’ve encountered. People watching is a my cheap and guilty pleasure.
