The owner of a controversial $20 million 'sky mansion' built on top of 400ft skyscraper might actually never end up living there. I think the majority of us would likely build a house or purchase an expensive property if we instantly became a millionaire. Many would opt for an exotic beachside location, while others may decide on a penthouse in a big city. However, none of that was good enough for businessman Vijay Mallya's mansion, as although it has lush gardens, an infinity pool, a helipad and a surrounding deck - something you would expect of a residence on a sprawling country estate - it just so happens to be about 400 feet in the sky.

Something considered tiny for some can be huge for others. That's the case for some of California's unsheltered homeless community, which hopes to benefit from a promise by state officials nearly a year ago to provide over a thousand tiny home shelters free of charge. Gov. Gavin Newsom committed $1 billion in March to address the state's homelessness crisis with tiny homes in Los Angeles, Sacramento, San Diego, and San Jose. California has one of the most severe homeless problems in the country. There are over 180,000 homeless people in the state, according to 2023 data, the latest available.

If these walls could talk, they’d keep it bottled up. A one-of-a-kind Arizona property built from glass bottles — doubling as a work of art — has hit the market for $432,500. The Tucson home dates back to the 1960s, when a couple named Theodore and Meletis Bryson, inspired by the ruins of ancient human societies, decided to construct a carport built of refuse that would blend with its desert surrounds. That was just the beginning — the Brysons went on to build an entire custom house out of bottles and rock, collected over the course of years, Coldwell Banker Realty agent Holly Greenhalgh, who holds the listing, told The Post. “Ted Bryson feels a kinship...
