Ah, What could be nicer? Waking up in you £600 million abode, popping the kettle on, taking a seet on the balcony and looking over 7 Million people taking a dump in the streets?

It looks like a massive game of Jenga, with sections stuck on top of other sections, which don't quite line up! For £630M, the design is bloody awful ...

I am sure that once they take the scaffolding away it will reveal a fantastic house.

Wonder how much of his $18B he's giving / given away to help the people living in the slums below him . . . . . . I know it's just a bribe for people to buy our stuff, but this sort of thing does make me wonder why we give India any financial aid

Apparently he built it for £44m and it might now be worth £630m

To be fair I have tried to imagine it without the scaffolding and still seems pretty silly.

Reading the Wiki entry It was designed by These people and going by their other designs. What the hell went wrong?

Perhaps you just dont argue with the worlds forth richest man?


Sussed it. Its a real life version of Jenga Tower - Hold on.. I will remove the first brick.

Your turn.

That's poverty thinking right there. I'd just ask one of my butlers to get my slippers from one of the shoe racks on each floor.

Only because it makes more sense than having a single pair of slippers. Might as well have one per floor. I mean, I have one hifi unit per room and I'm no billionaire.

"worth $630m"

No, it cost $630m. There's a big difference!
