Wow, that thing just looks completely terrible and absurd. I was reading the wiki article and noticed another absurd thing:

Tata also said: "The person who lives in there should be concerned about what he sees around him and [asking] can he make a difference. If he is not, then it's sad because this country needs people to allocate some of their enormous wealth to finding ways of mitigating the hardship that people have."

I didn't know that advocating Communism and wealth distribution via guilt-tripping was an M.O. of the Indian culture. The guy has made his money, and it's his right to do as he sees fit.... even if he has absolutely no taste in homes or any redeeming qualities... that's the crap-shoot part of it.

Anyway, yeah, house sucks, looks terrible.

"Given the enormous gap between the Antila's sale price and the known closing cost of any home sold in recent years, there's an awfully good chance that this is the most paid for a home, ever," Forbes said.
