The Abraj Al-Bait, located in Mecca, surpasses Mukesh and Nita Ambani’s coastal mansion, Antilla, worth $15 billion, residing in Dubai which isn’t even close to this building. This building is valued at Rs $16 billion. Antilla, owned by Mukesh Ambaani, can in no way compare to this extravagantly situated building.

Located in Mumbai, one of the most expensive cities to live in, sits the lavishly constructed 27 storey building, Ambani Mansion, housing the entire Ambani family, Nita, Anant, Akash, Shloka Mehta, Prithvi, and, Veda Ambani. The mansion is a statement piece and costs around Rs 15,000 crore to construct, standing tall on a 400,000 square foot piece of land. To say the least, the Ambani family surely knows how to grab the attention of the masses.

This structure is situated in Mumbai, India which also houses the Antilia owned by the Reliance Group and defies the dual statements of being the most expensive structure alongside representatives like Mukesh Ambani himself.

The Resplendent building which was bestowed the title of the World’s Muslim Heritage, the Abraj Al-Bait is located in Mecca loaded with the Mecca Clock Tower which is s prominent landmark in the Resplendent City. It is also noted that Buckingham Palace stands out as the most expensive building in the world surpassing Mukesh Ambani’s Antelia.

According to a report from The Sun, the Makkah Royal Clock Tower rated as ‘one of the tallest building structures’ currently in Saudi Arabia standing at 471 meters and ranking fourth among the world tallest building. The Clock Tower ranks at six on the freestanding structures list.

The most revered city in Islam is Mecca, which is home to the Makkah clock tower. It’s a construction that’s part of the Abdulaziz Endowment project to help Mecca cater to it’s pilgrims. The Makkah clock tower is has a shopping mall in its building, as well as a parking lot capable of holding fuel a thousand cars.

Makkah clock tower has a wonderful museum within its building which is located on the top three floors. But the spire isn’t for exhibition purposes solely, as it also has an observation deck, and an observatory. And the gold tipped crescent on top is also a strong prayer room and the cranberry kingdom’s dignitaries occupancy location.

Makkah clock tower is standing tall at a staggering height of 601 meters. That makes it the tallest building ever constructed. But its position comes at a price which also deems it the second most expensive building in the world. It's estimated that the construction cost crossed 15 billion dollars or 11.9 billion euros.

Construction of the tower started in the year 2002. It was completed in the year 2011 and opened for the audience a year later. The German firm SL Rasch designed it with a complex steel framework that weighs nothing less than 12,000 tons and starts at a height of over 1,138 feet.
