Personal Skyscrapers

from the Telegraph:


Built by Mukesh Ambani, the richest man in India and the 4th richest in the world, this private home overlooks Mumbai and the Arabian Sea. It requires 600 staff. The Telegraph adds:
Ambani does not appear to be influenced by calls by the Indian prime minister, Manmohan Singh, for business leaders to be "role models of moderation".
 It's really like he came to the architects and asked for the most dystopian form for a home they could imagine (check out those dwarfed buildings in the foreground).
Compare the final result to SITE's original plans.

thanks to Rob Holmes for the link.
