When they were constructing the tallest building in the world 🌎 it was supposed to be called the burj dubai, but the royal family of dubai were struggling with the spiralling costs of the tower and eventually, the king of Abu dhabi stepped in to front up the money, on one condition....

Money talks and that speaks volumes
