Despite | Yusuf is somewhat well-known for his lavish, excessive real estate developments. Despite being an ideal candidate for [[I'm Rich]], he does not seem to be famous outside circles of architecture or real estate buffs. His developments include: | ||
*'''Persian Gulf: '''"Hanging Gardens of Amir", an apartment complex suspended by hot air balloons. | |||
*'''Dubai, UAE: '''Yusuf "made headlines around the world" when he built the world's tallest building in 2005, only to tear it down the following day just to prove he could. The real world's tallest building, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burj_Khalifa Burj Dubai], cost between $1.5 and $4 billion. | |||
*'''Qatar, Persian Gulf: '''An 11-star underwater hotel and casino. It is meant to be Liberty City-themed, in the shape of a tiger, and contain a [[For the Man Who Has Everything|genuine Liberty City subway train]] to give tours of a delicate coral reef. | |||
*'''Outer Space: '''He is seriously considering several zero-gravity developments in space. He also says he wants a [[Maisonette 9]] on the moon, if allowed to franchise the clubs. | |||
*'''Liberty City, USA: '''Yusuf plans to build sixty luxury condo towers in [[Algonquin]]. He also discusses building a zoo alongside Luis with "sabre-toothed dodos and shit, women in gold cages, you name it!". | |||
*'''[[Castle Gardens]], [[Liberty City]], USA: '''Yusuf's first project in the US, called the "Imperial Amir Towers". It will feature mostly solid gold and jewel-encrusted features, a floor-to-ceiling aquarium in the lobby, a dolphin pool with glory holes, and a Roman-style [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vomitorium vomitorium] (a common feature in stadiums that isn't directly associated with vomiting). Their services will include 24-hour plastic surgeons, dwarf bellhops, all furniture thrown out and replaced daily (including "chaise lounges with seal skin coverings moisteurized daily by the moistness of Icelandic virgins"). Air is imported from the Himilayas. It is meant to be taller than [[Rotterdam Tower]]. It was quickly surrounded by controversy, after local groups criticized that it will "ruin the skyline of Castle Gardens"<ref name="Weazel Leslie Mitchell">"A-mir $5 Million for a Penthouse View of Hell" by Leslie Mitchell, Weazel News ([[Weazelnews.com|www.weazelnews.com]]) (In game website.)</ref> and it became the site of a union strike massacre. | |||
Yusuf's own residence is an ultra-luxury two story penthouse in [[Middle Park East]], filled with his collection of gold-plated items (a cell phone, [[Gold SMG|an Uzi]] and a scale model of Liberty City, among others), [[QUB3D|arcade]] [[Degenatron|machines]] and a big screen television (showing the end credits of GTA IV), and a unique flame painted [[Lycan]] (inaccessible to the player). He refers to a billion dollars as "chump change" when talking to a real estate businessman, also telling Luis in [[Caught with your Pants Down]] "If only [my father] gave me a few billion I could really call my own, then maybe I would grow up". In a conversation with his father during High Dive, he refers to $10 million as "maybe a little bit too much to spend in a month, but it was necessary!". | Yusuf's own residence is an ultra-luxury two story penthouse in [[Middle Park East]], filled with his collection of gold-plated items (a cell phone, [[Gold SMG|an Uzi]] and a scale model of Liberty City, among others), [[QUB3D|arcade]] [[Degenatron|machines]] and a big screen television (showing the end credits of GTA IV), and a unique flame painted [[Lycan]] (inaccessible to the player).
