Mukesh Ambani's designing his own house/skyscraper, named "Residence Antilia":


Original plan:


You can read more about it here. It employs about 600 people to take care of the Ambani family and includes separate floors for gardens, a waterfall, two gyms, a theater, garages for imported cars, a Death Star-type cannon, and more. It will be one of the tallest buildings in Mumbai when completed in November 2008 (projected), and I can only imagine the tallest "house" in the world. I generally hate conspicuous consumption and look down at all the faux-style sprawling mansions of the nouveau riche; still, I have to give this Mukesh guy credit for being a baller.

Reminds me of the arcologies from SimCity, which you love so much. Have you seen Calatrava's planned 80 South St in Manhattan?
