That is kind of the point of the owner's building it in Mumbai (Bombay) - surrounded by some of the very poorest people on the planet.  12 million people, most of whom live in abject poverty.

*"Over one-half of these people live in slums or are homeless; they live in tenements and huts, on pavements, along railway tracks, under bridges and in other spaces available to them.(3) The conditions of life under which the homeless and slum dwellers of Bombay live are conditions of terrible poverty, squalor and  deprivation."

I guess it's not any fun building a billion-dollar house for six people to live in, unless you can take a leak off the balcony onto millions of peons below you.
