The Indian rich are flush with huge money. They  own many properties, palatial houses in big cities and tourist spots. They do not mind paying hundreds of crores of rupees to satisfy their ego and comfort.

The 27 floor residence of Mukesh Ambani, Antilia,  in the posh area of Mumbai is well known. It may cost more than thousands of  crore. Now the latest is the purchase of iconic Lincoln House by Pune based  industrialist Cyrus Poonawalla for Rs 750 crore. It was a palace earlier and leased to US Consulate.

The former Maharajas are  nothing in their riches compared to the Billionaires of today.

This is to be seen in the Indian context, where there are many crores of poor people, who do not have any home and stay in the open.
