Detail, top floors; Antilia is a private home in South Mumbai, India. It is owned by Mukesh Ambani, chairman of Reliance Industries Limited and includes a staff of 600 to maintain the residence. While the New York Times in 2008 reported that it cost $500-700 million, it is believed to be worth $1 billion USD, due to the rising costs of surrounding structures currently in South Mumbai. As of November 2014, it is deemed to be the world's second most expensive residential property, after Buckingham Palace. Antilia is named after a mythical island in the Atlantic. It has 27 extra-height floors, 21 elevators and 48,000 sq. ft. of living space. It is engineered to withstand an 8-Richter scale earthquake. There have been legal challenges to the original land sale. Source: Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page (accessed 7/29/2015)
