- A rich man had his mansion constructed for him in the most spectacular way possible, using it to make a statement in the skyline
- The man has his mansion constructed on top of a skyscraper to give him a wonderful 360 degrees view of the city
- However, the problem is that the man might never live in the mansion because he has a problem preventing him from enjoying it
A man who is stupendously rich has become popular due to the type of house he constructed in his country.
The man’s house can hardly be compared to any other mansion in the area due to its conception and design.

What makes the house stand out is that it is built on top of a skyscraper in the city of Bengaluru, India.
The mansion is owned by an Indian businessman, Vijay Mallya who appears to be in love with that particular spot that his house could not have been built in another place.
The house is sitting on top of a 33-story luxury apartment complex, the complex itself is said to occupy Mallya’s ancestral home.
It is over 40,000 square feet with two floors, a helipad, lush gardens, an infinity swimming pool, and a 360-degree viewing deck.

Irfan Razac, the chairman of Prestige Estates Projects which is part of the construction of the tower said:
“It was a challenge to construct the mansion on a huge cantilever at that height, but we have ensured we build it exactly the way it was conceived.”
Why Vijay Mallya may never live in his sky mansion
Good as the mansion is, it appears the rich man who owns it might never be able to fully enjoy it.
Vijay Mallya does not live in India as he fled the country in 2016 when authorities sought to prosecute him for alleged corruption.
Mallya who lives in the UK reportedly defaulted on debts of more than $1 billion. Due to his inability to visit his home country, he might never be able to occupy the mansion.
The mansion is worth at least $20 million (N30 billion).
