"In the most conspicuous sign yet of India's unprecedented prosperity, the country's richest man, Mukesh Ambani, is building a new home in the financial hub of Mumbai: a 60-story palace with helipad, health club and six floors of car parking," reports The Guardian newspaper.
The building, named Antilla after a mythical island, will have a total floor area greater than Versailles and be home for Mr Ambani, his mother, wife, three children and 600 full-time staff.
The Mumbai News (who also published the rendering above) provides more details on the plans.

In actuality, it is about 60 floors, but since it has been reduced to 27 stories to make the ceilings a bit higher
Cool thing. Thx for the picture.
Mukesh is not known for extravaganza like his brother Anil Ambani.
This must be a game to rise the share value of his RIL petrochemicals and new retail outlets around the world to beat the arrival of WalMart in India.
Well, it is simply ugly, isn't it?
