Most of these are works of art. But the one in Mumbai is beyond ugly. I love modern architecture but that thing is a mess. Also, if I had 2 billion I’d build in the country side somewhere here in the US and keep it under 1/2 million, keep 10 million to live the rest of my life extremely comfortably on and give the rest to charity. I currently make less than 15k a year and have plenty to give away to charity and friends in need. Why there is anyone with that much money on the planet and there is still ANY poverty is beyond me. They could give away 90% of all they have and still be rich.
