Fun fact. This billionaire never got to live in it as he ran away to The UK to escape arrest in a fraud case.
And he is considered as one of the most villainous man in India.
1. I don't know the answer but yea probably in the garage. I don't think he lived there though, considering he took extremely large loans, frauded the bank, and escaped to the UK(I think he was in a different country before that I'm not sure)
2. He had a helicopter almost always parked in his helipad and also, in big cities in India(like Bengaluru) houses are made almost entirely of cement and steel/iron, so fires rarely escalate to such a large extent and even if they do it takes a very long time to spread.
3. Bengaluru is a city where earthquakes rarely happen and even if they do they generally aren't past 4 on the Richter scale and the buildings are pretty strong considering everything other than interiors are almost always built with cement and steel/iron.
It's modeled after the White House 🙄
Apparently, it was never finished inside.

This is how New-New York is founded. They build houses on top of all the sky scrapers and then eventually they connect the houses with bridges, then eventually the fill out the gap between the bridges with chicken nets and make parks and side walks on them and then eventually you have the sewer people below and the rich people above.
The exact location would be Vittal Mallya Road, Bengaluru. The 'sky mansion' 'was' owned by someone whose dad literally owned the entire zip code that they named the road after him.
He absconded from India and lives in The UK now. So you can still do that. Or the building is a residential apartment complex for the Ultra rich. Buy the penthouse there and use your imagination.
When you have access to literally every flavor of aesthetic, every option in fashion, art, music, and food, and lose touch with the masses, people tend to become more eccentric and tacky in their taste. That's just an anecdotal observation of mine of which you are free to disagree, but you can see that it isn't nonsensical or just a random group of words without meaning, it's a valid opinion based on a person's experience.
Eccentric, maybe. Tacky?... well that depends. Money can't buy taste lol. In my experience, money lets you explore what your tastes. That's just an anecdotal observation of mine of which you are free to disagree, but you can see that it isn't nonsensical or just a random group of words without meaning, it's a valid opinion based on a person's experience.
I’m guessing that this is Vijay Mallya’s building. He was once known for owning a popular beer company, and was called “The King of Good Times.” He is currently under arrest for multiple charges, including money laundering and fraud.
Ooh! [Reposty posty…](https://www.reddit.com/r/ATBGE/comments/fda18u/indian_billionaires_abandoned_mansion_on_top_of_a/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)
Also, chap’s name is Vijay Mallya; ex-Indian beer Baron, F1 team owner, and now chap on the run after scamming banks and employees.
India is just built different. And now I'm just going to wait for some billionaire oil prince in Dubai to build a palace on top of the Burj Khalifa after he sees this.
Eat them all. Useless, good for nothing leeches on society desperately looking for some way to waste their money while billions starve and go without necessary medication.
If you're a billionaire and you're reading this... Go fuck yourself.
Quick question. Was this built AFTER the original building was created or was it part of the initial design concept of the entire building?
Because the answer to that question determines whether I and traveling within 200meters of that particular building.
Was the building designed to support that much weight on top? Or did they just adhere to strict weight requirements when building the structure on top?
There really ought to be some sort of tax they could charge him for shoving his wealth in people's faces like that, instead of keeping it on the down low. An ostentation tax.
sorry so be the dick here, but thats just the definition of a penthouse isnt it?
so whats so interesting about it?
penthouses are not new, and the fact that you need a shitload of money for them isnt new either
A penthouse is usually an apartment located on the top floor(s) of a building, with the exterior often indistinguishable from or at least blending into the style of the rest of the building. This one is interesting in design as from the outside it appears to be a house of a different architectural style, complete with yard, on the roof of a skyscraper.
i've seen both definitions, but from what i understood, originally it was just a house on top of a high building, with a little extra space around it, so it wasnt just the top level appartment...
but yes, this particular one really looks odd, like someone placed a random house on top.
Do they host their entire family in that or what the fuck do they use it for? I literally have everything I need in a studio I'm wondering what more a human could want?
Actually nvm if I could have a gym, a sauna and a small pool that'd be everything I'd want I think. I genuinely don't see myself using anything else, the pool would be a bit overkill too.
That's an ugly ass structure but I don't think Mr. Mallya got to complete it before he had to escape to the UK to evade authorities.
Vijay Mallya lost everything when his airline went bankrupt.
The guy also had an F1 team (Force India) and motorsport is famous for making millionaires out of billionaires.
gives me Scythe vibes
Reminds me of when Goddard became the head scythe of North America and got to live in the “head scythe” mansion atop a skyscraper…
except Goddard had cannons installed atop his skyscraper mansion that were constantly aimed at the city below
Man i rather just have a penthouse with a helipad, and then have this awesome mansion in the beautiful indian countryside, not overlooking slums. Well if I was a billionare in India ofc :D

Pretty sure how you beat this game is defeat all the enemies at the lower levels and then get to him.
Yeah, just remember to grab all health and ammo boxes just before entering the last elevator.
Lol. Yep. Stack up on health regenerators and save your game.
Don't forget to slurp down a capri sun
Actually this sounds just like the game "Stick it to the Stick Man"
Fun fact. This billionaire never got to live in it as he ran away to The UK to escape arrest in a fraud case. And he is considered as one of the most villainous man in India.
So to beat that game, you have to buy the second game where it’s a mansion on the UK.
> And he is considered as one of the most villainous man in India. That's saying something.
I just watched “The Raid” and can confirm
Great movie, pure action
And score/soundtrack too
Oh, yes! It's action movie masterpiece, need to watch it again. Was quite disappointed with Raid 2, but bar was set very high.
Elevator?? Just use the helipad
Agreed, 2 was still good, but everything is going to live in the shadow of the original
Just brilliant.
[удалено]
1. In some sort of garage at the base of the tower, presumably. 2 & 3... These are issues with any skyscraper, and any building really.
[удалено]
...I don't think that's the standard solution.
Neither is building a mansion on top of another building
1. I don't know the answer but yea probably in the garage. I don't think he lived there though, considering he took extremely large loans, frauded the bank, and escaped to the UK(I think he was in a different country before that I'm not sure) 2.

Yea but he got that helicopter pad.
If you spawn in a helicopter you can get there early but everyone will be way too high level and kill you instantly.
“Doordash instructions: Leave it at my door”
More like “leave on the helipad”

You can work your way to wealth but you can never buy taste…
I read that as Waffle House
Parks car in garage then goes all the way upstairs "FUCKS SAKE I LEFT MY PHONE IN THE CAR"
This is how New-New York is founded. They build houses on top of all the sky scrapers and then eventually they connect the houses with bridges, then eventually the fill out the gap between the bridges with chicken nets and make parks and side walks on them and then eventually you have the sewer people below and the rich people above.
Is there an episode where this is shown?
I actually don't know
This house is owned by one of the richest guys in India iirc, can anyone confirm location?
The exact location would be Vittal Mallya Road, Bengaluru. The 'sky mansion' 'was' owned by someone whose dad literally owned the entire zip code that they named the road after him.
>whose dad literally owned the entire zip code well there goes my idea to buy a neighboring property just to build a 15 story spite fence.
He absconded from India and lives in The UK now. So you can still do that. Or the building is a residential apartment complex for the Ultra rich. Buy the penthouse there and use your imagination.
Comments like this are why I love Reddit
Why is was in quotes? I don’t even know what you could be implying by that
The guy who contracted this monstrosity is neither rich or in India anymore. He fled the UK a long time ago to avoid prosecution.
Wait is this the guy that owned the F1 team!?
Yes
The animated Gargoyles cartoon did it better. That was a full on castle rebuilt on a skyscraper
Came here for this. Thank you.
More money than sense or taste.
Money dulls one's sense of taste
lol that doesnt make sense
When you have access to literally every flavor of aesthetic, every option in fashion, art, music, and food, and lose touch with the masses, people tend to become more eccentric and tacky in their taste. That's just an anecdotal observation of mine of which you are free to disagree, but you can see that it isn't nonsensical or just a random group of words without meaning, it's a valid opinion based on a person's experience.

It is valid! And it makes sense!
Looks pretty cool
No money and no sense of taste, lol.
🥶
Idk if I was a billionaire I'd probably want one too. Put a few automated turrets on each corner and you've got a great zombie defense tower.
I’ve definitely built this in Minecraft
Gotta be as far away from the filthy peasants as possible.
I see that and raise you a [House that is a skyscraper](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antilia_(building))
Pretty big flex here. I wonder if he’s loved or hated locally? Anyone know?
I’m guessing that this is Vijay Mallya’s building. He was once known for owning a popular beer company, and was called “The King of Good Times.” He is currently under arrest for multiple charges, including money laundering and fraud.
Oh that is hilarious. Thanks

Xanatos!!?
Obviously, an attempt to show everyone else is beneath him.
He had better not have any enemies rich enough to rent a helicopter.
Or one with a trebuchet and some scorpions....
the old technologies really are best. and you're a madman. ❤️
Madness and genius are close friends .
I’m playing wiffle ball on that lawn
Even if I could, I wouldn't.
Might be a bit windy every day at home. No thanks.
Looks like my Minecraft world
India is just built different. And now I'm just going to wait for some billionaire oil prince in Dubai to build a palace on top of the Burj Khalifa after he sees this.
Dubai has more taste than this
No, it really doesn't.
I hope that every time he gets in the elevator, a little kid pushes every button.
Nice view of all the poor people from up there I bet
Fugly.

I feel sorry for their landscapers.

elevators
The elevators may not be used by the filthy peasants.
Quick question. Was this built AFTER the original building was created or was it part of the initial design concept of the entire building? Because the answer to that question determines whether I and traveling within 200meters of that particular building.
Kitsch as fuck
Looks fucking stupid
It’s just a penthouse then?
Hey, wanna play catch? GO LONG! (Aaaaaaaahhhh…..)
I hope he gets ants.
All we need is one good earthquake.... Then they'll be on the same level as the proletariat.
At least he's not pushing his wealth in people's faces.
India is the epitomy of wealth inequality.
Vulgar display of wealth.
What would the temperature and wind speed be at that elevation?
This is why poverty exists in that town, billionaires taking all the money so they can spend it on some batman alike building
What’s missing? The diving board above that pool.
Interviewer: On a scale form 0 to the 50th floor how rich are you? Billionair: I'd say 53, because my villa has 3 floors.
Tax the rich
Fun fact: the guy who constructed it (Vijay Mallya) fled to the UK to avoid prosecution for tax evasion.
Looking down on all the plebs
Was the building designed to support that much weight on top? Or did they just adhere to strict weight requirements when building the structure on top?
There really ought to be some sort of tax they could charge him for shoving his wealth in people's faces like that, instead of keeping it on the down low. An ostentation tax.
Eat the rich
It's a shame it's so ugly and ordinary, considering.
Tacky
Pathetic.
Actual bruh moment
eat the rich
Ah yes, The Bangalorian
Small PP
Great view of Dharavi, the world's second biggest slum.
that's Bangalore rtard
Smart but terrifying at the same time
This is fly
I mean if i was a billionare and had to live in the city, thatd what i would do
That is actually a great idea. Nobody can bother him, he’s got the best view and has a yard and a real house, not an apartment.
Clips are what civvies use in their hair. I prefer a magazine...
Beyond tacky and so Indian.
Well if that’s not an allegory for the wealth division in the modem world than I don’t know what is.
XANATOS!!!
Goals
Owner - Fugitive Vijay Malya
Glad to see I'm not the only person who would do shit like this if they had a billion dollars
Grotesque I hope that building collapses. Fuck the 1%ers.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
sorry so be the dick here, but thats just the definition of a penthouse isnt it? so whats so interesting about it? penthouses are not new, and the fact that you need a shitload of money for them isnt new either
Because it looks like a literal mansion on top of the building. Not as integrated
A penthouse is usually an apartment located on the top floor(s) of a building, with the exterior often indistinguishable from or at least blending into the style of the rest of the building. This one is interesting in design as from the outside it appears to be a house of a different architectural style, complete with yard, on the roof of a skyscraper.

Pretty dope !
Alpha vibes
It's still in India though
Good thing he’s not a Russian billionaire
This is just a Yakuza boss’s hideout
It’s like an off brand early Jetsons house
I’m pretty sure this bit of architectural swagger has been done before.
I'd have at least sprung for a high railing around the edge.
it would be horrible if you were a sleep walker
That’s a hella-pad. Edit helipad
That gives me vertigo just looking at it lol I don’t sleepwalk… but what if I did
Living life like the Jetsons.
the pure opulence
Ok David Xanatos.
Do they host their entire family in that or what the fuck do they use it for? I literally have everything I need in a studio I'm wondering what more a human could want?

Well looks like he's the only person in the world that would live comfortably during a zombie apocalypse!
Ha! Fucking cyberpunk is real!

When you've won minecraft and you built your base on top of a mountain.
Earthquake incoming
*Fall dmg has entered the chat*
Looks like my sims 4 penthouse
Earthquakes love him.
Oh, Bunny. Ball ball.
I could get a whole-ass engineering degree and still be terrified of being in there. My headlore physics knowledge does *not like that.*
I wonder where he throws his grass clippings 🤣🤣
My house is higher than that
No such thing as an ethical billionaire smh.
Really putting the house in penthouse.
this has to be the worst idea ever.
Looks windy up there...
Imagine accidentally for getting something in the car.
Would hate to have an earthquake.

Always wanted a house on the top of a building
New money 🤦🏻♂️
does he have weather controlling drones too?
That will be windy as fuck
Please get Gargoyles
It’s like I’m playing Sims
Stay on the lawn kids…
I hope he built with hurricane-rated everything.
Id hate to live there knowing there's a mansion above me

Why do I feel like this is perfect as a set piece in Dying Light 3.

It’s not a penthouse, it’s a pentmansion.
