Think the McMansion is just an American idea? We've definitely exported the concept. Check out today's home in the luxury Emirates Hills section of Dubai. This villa has seven bedrooms and 24,500 square feet of space. Some only in Dubai detailer include an underground garage and a room just for your driver, a professional service kitchen with Tandoori oven and a formal dining room with silk wallpaper and an ornate inlaid table. The home also has home theater, a gym and a a massage area with a Jacuzzi, a gym, cinema, sauna and steam room. This home is listed at $21 million.

You cannot own a property in the UAE unless you are a citizen of that country. This means, effectively, that the Mc Price for this monstrosity is only a lease amount. I doubt that anyone from outside the UAE is desperate ors tupid enough to plump money down for this property and have his descendants kiss it goodbye in two generations.

Get your facts straight- Emirates Hills was sold per square foot. Nothing was built and the design and detail was at the buyers discretion, and the contracts specifically state, these are yours to own. Yours to own= $21m price tag.
