The tech millionaire who spent $150 million to make his company headquarters look exactly like the STAR TREK spaceship

State-of-the-art offices for Chinese game developer NetDragon Websoft are shaped like Star Trek's USS Enterprise. The company's founder, Liu Dejian, spent around 600 million yuan ($150 million) constructing the 260-meter sci-fi building.

The company made sure they had the proper permission to build in the likeness of the starship by contacting the TV show's rights holder, CBS.

Work began in 2010. The building is specifically inspired by the USS Enterprise NCC-1701-E, which appeared in all three Star Trek movies in the late 1990s and 2000s. It is located in the city of Changle in China's Fujian province and was finished in October 2014.

The building features 30-foot metal slides between levels and automatic sliding gates. Inside the giant spaceship is a life-sized Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton replica, modeled after a specimen discovered in South Dakota in 1987.

Dejian, 43, is China's 320th richest person, and according to Forbes, his family is worth a reputed $600 million.
