Last year, business magnate Mukesh Ambani finally moved into Antilia, the towering Mumbai palace that cost more than $1B to build, by most estimates, making it the most expensive private residence in the world.

OtterBox Commuter Series Hybrid Case…
Have you shopped around for a case to protect your new Samsung Galaxy III? The Otterbox cases for Samsung Galaxy S phones are strong and protective covers known as one of the best cases around.
