VIRAL
Altamount Road in South Mumbai is home to India's most iconic celebrities, business tycoons, and legends, including the Ambanis, forming a neighbourhood of unmatched luxury and history.
If Mumbai’s skyscrapers could whisper their secrets, Altamount Road would have some of the most fascinating stories to tell. This posh stretch in South Mumbai, often called Billionaires' Row, is home to not just one of the most expensive houses in the world—Antilia—but also to many famous and powerful people from India’s world of music, movies, business, and banking.
Antilia, the home of Mukesh Ambani and family, is no ordinary mansion. Designed with symbols of the lotus and the sun, it is a high-tech structure that can even withstand strong earthquakes. It’s reportedly worth over USD 2 billion and is considered a symbol of both luxury and power. But this isn’t the only impressive property here—Altamount Road and its surroundings are filled with high-rise buildings and luxurious homes owned by some of India’s most successful individuals.
Let’s take a walk through this iconic area and meet some of the most well-known residents:
