Tennis courts, private beaches, and theaters are the norm. The mansions of the world’s top-class millionaires are incomparably luxurious and opulent. Akika Haranishi, an international celebrity writer, explains.

Neymar (31) purchased a mansion in Rio in 2004, which is equipped with a yacht harbor, helipad, and other comfortable facilities for gathering with family and friends. Also, “Reliance Industries,” India’s largest conglomerate, which operates in petrochemicals, infrastructure, biotechnology, and other businesses. Its chairman, Mukesh Ambani (66), has built a mansion that is typical of a charismatic businessman, employing some 600 servants in the mansion and including a temple and a library.”
