$2 Billion Mumbai Mansion

Found in: Mumbai
Est. Cost: $2 Billion*

Antilia is a 400,000-square-foot architectural monstrosity. It appears to be a gigantic building in the heart of Mumbai from a distance. Nonetheless, Antilia is a 27-story private house that is only second in property value to Buckingham Palace. This magnificent super-mansion (or whatever you want to call it) comes fully equipped with everything Mukesh Ambani, India’s richest man, and his family could ever think up, from three helipads to a 50-seat cinema. Why not, one area has been constructed to spit out snowflakes all year? After all, Ambani’s net wealth is close to $100 billion.

Black Diamond iPhone

Found in: Various Locations Via Special Order
Est. Cost: $15.3 Million*

The iPhone 5 Black Diamond is a 4.76 ounce, 24-carat gold hand-crafted masterpiece that only around half of India’s 1.4 billion people would ever be able to afford. If the phone’s gold features weren’t enough, the screen is composed of sapphire glass. Still not convinced, and curious as to how this iPhone earned its name? Its home button was replaced with a single 26-carat deep cut black diamond. As if that weren’t enough, the phone’s frame has been inlaid with 600 more diamonds – smaller ones, of course — bringing the total price to slightly more than $15 million.
