Mukesh Ambani - the richest man in India and one of the richest in the world initiated the construction of this huge house located in the Kambala hills in Mumbai and its estimated value ranges from 1-2 billion dollars (depending on who you ask, and when).
With a constructed area of over 37,000 square meters, the building known as "Antilia" rises to a particularly high height, thanks to double-height ceilings on each of its 27 floors. 6 of them, by the way, are dedicated to Ambani's car collection, which also includes a Mercedes Maybach.

Over the years of its existence, Villa La Leopolda in the French Riviera had several well-known owners, but the most famous episode in its history was probably when it was used as a photo set for Alfred Hitchcock's film To Catch a Thief.
Until 2008, the villa was owned by the philanthropist Lily Safra who inherited it after the death of her husband, the rich banker Edmond Safra.
Safra was not enthusiastic about selling the huge property, but in 2008 she accepted an offer of 500 million euros on behalf of a Russian oligarch named Mikhail Prokurov.
The property sits on an area of over 200 dunams and includes a huge plant greenhouse, a swimming pool and a pool house, an outdoor kitchen, a private helipad and a guest pavilion.
