So, picture this: a ‘sky mansion’ perched 400ft above Bengaluru, looking like someone played real-life Sims and dropped a mansion on top of a skyscraper. But here’s the kicker — Vijay Mallya, the mastermind behind this $20 million marvel, has never laid eyes on it.
Nope, not even once!
It’s like he’s playing hide-and-seek with his own creation.
Maybe he’s got a really busy schedule, or perhaps he’s just waiting for the perfect dramatic reveal. But wait, there’s more to this story than meets the eye. While his ‘sky mansion’ is stealing the skyline spotlight, Mallya is dodging not-so-fun charges of financial mischief from the Indian government.
Rumor has it they’re trying to coax him into facing the music for debts, fraud, and other white-collar shenanigans.
Next time you think your life is chaotic, just remember, somewhere out there, a dude owns a mansion in the sky but has never bothered to take the elevator up to check it out. Talk about living on the edge—literally!
Meet Vijay Mallya (born 18 December 1955) is an Indian businessman, former politician aaaand fugitive.
