The richest man in India, Mukesh Ambani, has moved into his new home in Mumbai which is 27 floors high and worth 630 million£.

Ambani, his wife and three children have moved into the building which is named Antilia, after a mythical Island. It includes a health club with a gym and dance studio, a ballroom, guestrooms and lounges and a 50 seats cinema. There is even a garden. There are 600 workers in the building.

The roof has three helicopter pads and there is also underground parking for 160 cars, which will be used by guests at Ambani's housewarming party.

From the top floors of the 173m high building there is a fantastic view of Mumbai and of the Arabian Sea.

The 53 year-old businessman is not only the richest man in India but the fourth richest man in the world. In total there is 37,000 square metres of land, which is more than the Palace of Versailles.
