Kingfisher Towers is widely recognized for its distinctive and extravagant penthouse, often referred to as a "sky mansion" or "White House in the Sky." This 40,000 sq ft, two-story residence, perched 400 feet above ground, is celebrated for its unique architecture, 360-degree panoramic views, infinity pool, rooftop gardens, and private helipad. It is seen as a symbol of ultra-luxury and an iconic landmark in Bangalore, setting a trend for opulent living.
No matter what people say, at least the original owner put the spot light on Bangalore and if it wasn't for him, Bangalore would not have even this. He was "The" trendsetter.
That shit looks awesome for parties.
This is a super flex. I’m pretty sure that’s where Dr.Doom lives

Where residents want improvements
The acquisition of a luxury apartment in Kingfisher Towers by Infosys co-founder Narayana Murthy for Rs 50 crore has ignited widespread public backlash. Critics highlight the perceived hypocrisy between his advocacy for a 70-hour work week for employees and his own lavish real estate investments, accusing him of profiting from employee exploitation and displaying a "double standard" while his wife promotes a "simple life."
Ah I see. Everyone else should work for 70 hrs per week so that he and others in the higher up can live a lavish life. Understood.
As days pass guy is resembling Gollum from lords of the rings 😁 He wants you to work 70-100 hours per week so he can buy ₹50 cr luxury apartments.
Should build a separate elevator for simple sudha simple Murthy.What if some nonveg guy used it?
See! If you work 70 hours a week at Infosys. This is what you get at the end of it.
paid for by the un reimbursed 70 hour work weeks of infy employees
Those 70 hr weeks are paying off guys!! Now the poor old man needs a maybach to park there. Let’s work harder than ever to get him that!!🙏
That's why he asks his employees to work in 24x7 mode so that he can buy such luxurious flats. What do employees get in return ? Mere 3.6LPA.
Simple (1Cr) elevator for simple (775Cr Malkin) Sudha. xD
This motherfucker. When is he going to annual meeting ?
People work their entire lives just to afford a good flat... The problem is forcing people to work for 70HRS a week, but paying them for 40HRS only. He is profiting off his employees suffering and Ill health.

The architectural style of the rooftop mansion is frequently criticized for being tacky, gaudy, and lacking aesthetic taste. Many observers describe it as a "McMansion eyesore" or a "monstrosity" that appears out of place on top of a modern skyscraper, suggesting a disconnect between immense wealth and refined design sensibility.
How tacky.
Haha not really into these super ostentatious displays of wealth to be honest. Also why on top of a sky scraper? Surely with that cash you’d want a garden?
This is mind blowing architecture but looks kind of sketch to me.
Looks like an afterthought
I tried looking at multi million dollar homes just to get ideas for beautiful layouts and interiors... These people have no taste. Everything was so gaudy and over-decorated.
What’s up with rich people and their tasteless monstrosities
Its always a relieve to see that, it does not matter how wealthy you are, you cannot buy good taste ...
Tacky as fuck
Money can't buy taste..
Proves that just because you have money, doesn’t mean you have taste

The mansion is inextricably linked to its original commissioner, Vijay Mallya, who became a fugitive from Indian law due to massive fraud and money laundering. The property was built on the site of his ancestral home but remained unfinished and unoccupied by him as he fled the country. It is now under litigation and attached by authorities, serving as a stark reminder of his downfall and a "monument to greed."
I read somewhere that this was Vijay Mallya's mansion-on-a-skyscraper. ... he is now on the run from the Indian government due to massive amounts of fraud, money laundering and other financial crimes.
Only a defaulter can afford this.
Kingfisher Tower, Bengaluru, India. One of the most expensive apartments in the city, this is real and this house is abandoned.
Good! the guy's a fucking absconding thief who didn't pay employees all while syphoning cash out the business for his extravagant lifestyle.
By the time they demolished that and constructed this tower he had fled/left the country. So he didn't even see it in person ever
Vijay Mallya of United Breweries Group is unlikely to ever live in it as fighting theft/fraud charges as India trying to extradite him from UK.
Sadly, Mallya's business adventures resulted him in escaping the country and he probably never even saw this in person
The mansion, atop Kingfisher Tower, was still under construction in 2016 when the financial woes became the talk of India. Soon enough, Vijay Mallya had to flee the country for the UK thus leaving his home unfinished. Didn't even get to live in it!
The guy who had it built, Vijay Mallya, never stepped inside it. He fled the country and is now a fugitive.
The top bungalow is under litigation .. no one lives there. It belongs to the original owner and now with ED/IT/Court.

The rooftop mansion raises numerous practical and safety concerns. Commenters highlight issues such as extreme wind conditions, potential fire hazards, structural stability, difficulty retrieving items (like balls) from the edge, the tediousness of long elevator rides, and general maintenance challenges at such a height. The design is seen as inherently impractical for a residential space at such an elevation.
Damn that takes accidentally kicking the ball over the fence to a whole new level! “You kicked it over, you have to go get it!”
I'd be too fucking terrified to enjoy it. There's been far too many building collapses in recent years for me to be comfortable living up that high.
Gotta be windy as hell up there, no?
The wind must be terrible. And you got to watch the kids when they play outside
Does this freak anyone else out. I’m not even scared of heights either. Just seems unstable 😂
i think i'd be sick to death of the elevator by day 3 or 4.
“Honey have you seen the dog?”
You can’t throw anything in the yard, like a ball playing with a dog, without risk it will kill someone below.
My first thought was how earthquake proof is it.
Seems like a terrible place for a fire emergency.

The Kingfisher Towers mansion is frequently cited as a glaring example of extreme wealth disparity in India. Its opulent existence, offering a "360-degree view to better see the peasants living in squalor far down below," draws strong criticism for conspicuous consumption and the perceived disconnect of the ultra-rich from the country's widespread poverty and pollution.
The only thing crazy about this video, and this mansion, is that It is absolutely 100% completely unnecessary for any human being to have. That kind of money should be given to people who actually need it.
The view of traffic and poverty?
Conspicuous consumption. People flaunting power. Wow. Very cool.
Ah yes, a 360-degree view to better see the peasants living in squalor far down below.
This describes India's caste system in one picture
Picture of wealth inequality
India lol. I’d be ashamed to be this wealthy in a country with such a wealth disparity
The wealth the 1% of the population has disgusts me.
2/3 of the population in India don't have a toilet. Meanwhile this MF.
Then literally millions of people covered of filth and dying of dysentery and rabies. India casta system with the untouchables... this is nothing to be amazed but to be sad and disgusted.
