Ace investor Rakesh Jhunjhunwala died in August 2022 from kidney-related ailments. He was 62. The billionaire passed away before he could see the completion of his dream home – a sprawling 14-storey bungalow he was building in Mumbai’s posh Malabar Hills area. The house was something of a passion project for Jhunjhunwala – who spent Rs 371 crore between 2016 and 2017 for buying out an entire building called Ridgeway Apartments, which he then demolished to construct his 14-storey residence.

Jhunjhunwala liked to live life king-size, and his bungalow is proof. Twitter user Rajiv Mehta recently shared a glimpse of his sea-facing terrace, which friends and acquaintances of the late investors say stands as a testament to his love for all things larger-than-life.

The terrace features a gazebo with multiple seating options – including a six-seater dining table – a bar, outdoor seating areas, a carpet of green grass, a sprinkling trees and a sweeping view of the sea.

“The last time I met Rakesh just before COVID, I ribbed him about how he kept sending clouds of dust all over my various decks, from his construction,” Sharma further recalled.

Hahaha!!. Yes, we got lucky with this home. Living there was like living on an island not in a city. Magnificent sea, greens, birds... The last time I met Rakesh just before COVID, I ribbed him about how he kept sending clouds of dust all over my various decks, from his…
