Hi guys, today, i am going to show you some pictures of first - two billionaire's houses around the world. These two billionaire's are none of other than Bill Gates and Mukesh Ambani. As we all know that both of are business tycoons and this year, Bill Gates net worth is 85.1 Billion dollars (US dollars), whereas Mukesh Ambani's net worth is $37.6 billion in US dollars. It shouldn't be too surprising that two of the wealthiest people in the world also have an insanely extravagant homes. Let's check out the pictures of houses and then decide by yourself which one house is much better and why.
Facts and Pictures of Bill Gates House
- It took Gates seven years and $63 million to build his Medina, Washington estate, named Xanadu 2.0 after the fictional home of "Citizen Kane"'s Charles Foster Kane.
- Half a million board-feet of lumber was needed to complete the project. The house was developed with 500-year-old Douglas fir trees and 300 construction workers labored on the home - 100 of whom were electricians
- The home is also "Earth-Sheltered," meaning that it's partially buried or burrowed into the hill it sits on. In addition to looking really cool, this helps regulate temperatures and is far more cost effective - and therefore eco-friendly - than many modern methods of heating and cooling.
- The Estate has a total of 24 bathrooms : 10 full baths and 14 half baths. If Bill Gates wanted, he could answer nature's call, at home, in a different bathroom almost every day of the month. Almost.
- Personalized Bat Cave - What do Bill Gates and Bruce Wayne have in common? They’re both billionaire entrepreneurs with their own self-stylized bat caves. Bill Gates may not have a Batmobile (we can neither confirm nor deny this statement), but he does have three separate garages which can house a total of 23 cars.
- The Technology The guest experience at the Gates manor must be unreal with each guest and resident being assigned a pin. This pin interacts with the sensor system that is in each room of the house – a touch sensitive control pad. Each pin has it’s own set of preferences, catered to the individual, including: music selections, lighting choices, and temperature. The pin also communicates with the computers and let’s it know who and where they are in the house.
- Artwork and more electronics The house has special tv-computer screen combos worth $80,000, being run by computer storage devices worth $150,000 each. On these special screens, guests can call out the name of a photograph or painting and the devices will retrieve the images. The walls also mask the hidden speaker system that hides just beneath the wallpaper.
Facts and Pictures of Mukesh Ambani

- Antilia is named after a mythical island in the Atlantic Ocean.
- It is made up of 27 storey building but some ceiling made of double height, that's why it's closer to the height of 40 storey building as it is high of 570 feet.

- The lobby alone has nine elevators.
- When chores of the day take their toll, Ambanis like to rejuvenate at the in-house spa.
- Antilia boasts of its own hanging garden that apart from adding a colourful splendor also save energy and keep the interiors of the house cool.
- Surprisingly the Ambanis are vegetarians and teetotalers, and only serve wine during cocktail hours. Meals are vegetarian and alcohol-free.
- The four story open garden also houses an atrium and is covered with gardens, flowers and lawns. It also has a huge temple.
- Sun and Lotus The whole house is based on the theme of sun and lotus. Exquisite materials like rare woods, marble, mother of pearl and crystal were used to craft the shapes of the lotus and the sun in the building.
