They live in Villa Vari, one of the costliest homes in the world, which is worth more than 200 million USD. Their stunning home overlooks the Swiss mountains of Mt Blanc, and was created by renowned interior designer Jeffrey Wilkes, who also created the illustrious Oberoi Rajvilas, Oberoi Udaivilas, and many of the Leela Hotels.
