He builds a 20 million mansion on a skyscraper but he can't live there, that's why

Building a luxury villa costing 20 million dollars on top of a skyscraper and not being able to live there.
This is the story of the eccentric Indian billionaire Vijay Mallya.
The alcoholic beverage magnate started his “villa in the sky” project in 2016.
An ambitious project that wanted to build his new home in the city of Bangalore at the top of a 33-storey skyscraper, complete with swimming pool and gardens.
But now that the villa is ready to welcome its very rich owner and the keys can be handed over to him, Mallya, one of the richest billionaires in the country, has not yet set foot there and, at present, cannot go and live there.
But why? We follow the story of the man who tried to buy everything, even a house near the sky, but who still has to deal with justice.
That's why Mallya can't enter his mansion.
Billionaire builds a "mansion in the sky": here's where and how it's made In India, to be precise in the city of Banglore, one of the richest billionaires in the state has decided to build his personal residence "on Mount Olympus".
8 years ago, in 2016, Vijay Mallya financed a project to build his villa on a 33-storey skyscraper in the city: a one-of-a-kind home and not only because it was built 120 meters above the ground, but also how it was built and furnished.
In fact, Mallya spared no expense by wanting a villa of around 4,000 square meters on two floors, further enriched by: a heliport; majestic gardens; an infinity pool; a panoramic terrace.
An engineering feat and design work that cost the Indian tycoon a good 20 million dollars.
As told to the media by Irfan Razac, president of Prestige Estates Projects, one of the companies involved in the project: “It was a challenge to build the villa on a huge cantilever at that height, but everything was done safely, so as it was originally conceived." The villa itself is one of the many symbols of unbridled luxury and the unequal distribution of wealth on earth, just think that India is among the countries with the highest number of people living below the poverty line.
And now that the owner of the villa cannot live there for legal reasons, its construction could soon become the symbol of the waste of money.
Here's why Mallya can't live in his skyscraper villa Mallya's story could be inserted perfectly into the Arabian Nights stories, as the story of a man who tried to buy everything with his wealth, even a piece of sky, but who risks seeing his dream fade away as wealth cannot buy freedom.
The dream of living in the villa "one step away from heaven" could in fact remain such due to the problems Mallya has with Indian law.
Just as he began his ambitious project, Mallya had to leave India, taking refuge in the United Kingdom following a billion-dollar fraud accusation.
And if at the time of his departure, there was barely a plan and foundations for the villa, and Mallya hoped to be able to resolve his legal problems before the villa was completed, this was not the case.
Indeed, the extradition request came from India, creating quite a few diplomatic tensions with Great Britain: there were numerous meetings between the two countries to discuss the case.
If Mallya were to return to India, the doors that would open would not be those of his villa in the clouds, but those of the prison.
Awaiting him would therefore be years away from the unbridled luxury to which the tycoon has always been accustomed.
A story which in itself would also have its moral implications: money can buy everything, it can represent a status symbol, but before the law we are all equal, especially if the system does not allow itself to be corrupted by the glitter of gold.
