I had heard about this from a fellow agent here in Colorado. This is craziness! Is this what people do when they realize they have SO much money that they will never be able to spend it all???

Its wierd for a billion dollars I didnt actually like the house too much. I mean 27 stories seems like a pain. So every time you want to eat or watch a movie or go to sleep you need to go to an elevator. All that said I mean its nicer than my place. But if I had a billion dollars to spend I would have done something a little different.

With $200 M down - we can arrange for a 90% Interest Only jumbo at 7.25%. Monthly payment of $10,875,000.00. I am sure this is very manageable for you and I can issue an approval within a short time period.

Do Mr. and Mrs. Ambani give me call and we can arrange a time to go over the initial loan disclosures.

---- That would be last loan I ever wrote ----

I can only imagine how long it will take him to get "used" to his new house

I wonder if the Ambanis have heard about Warren Buffet and his life style. You really do not have to flaunt it if you have got it.

Hey Jay, how would you like to collect a real estate commission on that? It would definitely put a dent in our bottom line! :D

It would be interesting to know more about the real estate market in India and particularly in the area this palace is being built.

Not sure about $300/sq.ft, but it seems to me, it's more like $5K/sq.ft.
The wife had a design request... "no 2 rooms should be look alike"... well, I guess.. what's 2billion out of 43 uh? Not that much :) Good story Jay. Ok, I won't laugh at Lenovo and Dell customer support any more ;)

At $300/sq.ft it would cost $X - a bargain. I am not sure if it would include the ice room:)
