Indian steel magnate Lakshmi Mittal is building the most expensive mansion ever erected in Scotland, next to the famed Gleneagles golf resort in Auchterarder, Perthshire. The London-based tycoon, Europe’s richest man and the fifth richest man in the world with a fortune of $28.7 billion, is spending a record $23 million on the posh estate, including the $6 million mansion he tore down to make way for his new luxury fortress. His lavish private palace in London is reckoned to be the city’s most expensive as well. Costs on the Perthshire project soared after Mittal decided some of the finished weren’t up to standard, Scotland’s Daily Record reports.
At one point he demanded a $125,000 bathroom be torn out and done over. “We are all very aware that Lakshmi Mittal has bought the property and he has been very particular about the specifications,” one neighbor told the paper. “He has flown in several times and I have spoken to his wife, who seemed very down to earth. I get the impression she is more likely to use the facilities up here than her husband. I think their priority is getting it perfect.” The six-bedroom main residence will have furnishings by Ralph Lauren, a state-of-the-art entertainment system, two kitchens and staff quarters among other amenities.
Steel tycoon Lakshmi Mittal tore down a house he bought for £4million to build his £15 million hideaway.
Indian Mittal, 60, and wife Usha have flown in by helicopter several time to supervise work on his “but ‘n’ ben”, next to the Gleneagles golf courses in Auchterarder, Perthshire.
The London-based entrepreneur, worth £20billion and the world’s fifth richest man, has already paid for the world’s most expensive home. In 2008, he bought a £117million home for his son Aditya in Kensington, London.
His own home nearby, dubbed the Taj Mittal, was believed to be worth £250 million in the same year.
