That's not where his mouth is. Nobody has to post pictures of their own home on order to criticise a monument to vanity, excess and appallingly poor taste.

The most expensive house in the world

some of the poorest people in the world, that is... at least this way they can see what their hard work, low wages and tax exemptions are able to buy when someone cashes in and accumulates them for all of them...
and "an entertainment centre with a silver-domed ballroom"?!?!? give me a break... did he think a gold-plated toilet was too much?
but as so many said: money not also can't buy you good taste - it seems to create an impediment in common sense.
well.... as long as good old fashion supercapitalism is alive, we haven't seen nothing yet.

That was Little People, not weeble wobble.
I just got one of these (and 7 other vintage Little People sets) on eBay for my kids.
****. I had one of them. And a blue airport
I'd completely forgotten until seeing your pic.
Yep, I had one of those little multi-story carparks as well. It was ace.
I didn't have a blue airport though, not like that great show-off Queso.

Well, being in Hull you wouldn't have understood. Don't people there fall to the ground in fear when they see a plane?
No, but that little red and yellow helicopter would have garnered some curious looks.
First month's electricity bill for the Ambanis' des(i). res.: 7m rupees (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-south-asia-11854177)
Yes, that's £98,000 or $153,000 a month.

Holy hell! What does this guy do again to afford that?
He should really look into getting those CFL bulbs.
I actually knew that, but weeble wobbles made for a funnier line.That was Little People, not weeble wobble.
I swear my kids had that same exact garage, BTW. That was a long time ago.
I would bet Versailles cost more in adjusted currency, but I guess you get what you pay for. It does look like an annoyingly clever IKEA bookcase.
look in a mirror
While I agree there is a lot of great things that an amount of money so large could do, only people who make sacrifices themselves should hold others to the same standard. I'm sure that rich dude can justify his ugly house as well as I can justify a vacation or new TV when I could have given all that to the poor.

The Widows Offering
41 Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put and watched the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. Many rich people threw in large amounts. 42 But a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth only a few cents.
43 Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others."
