The house, which Antonio named "Stealth", was designed by Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas and includes a dedicated private gallery of portraits he has commissioned of himself by famous artists, such as Julian Schnabel, Marilyn Minter, David Salle, Zhang Huan, members of the Bruce High Quality Foundation, and Takashi Murakami.[26]

A profile by Vanity Fair commented on the extreme disparity between Antonio's wealth and the average income of the Philippines.[26] In a 2013 op-ed in the Manila Times, the article claimed that the Antonio family was on the Forbes list of top 40 wealthiest Filipinos and that they were not listed in the top 500 taxpayers of BIR's. He characterized Antonio's personal spending on vanity projects and relatively modest philanthropic spending as indicative of inequality in the Philippines where the average family income in 2013 was $4,988.[27]

BIR records show that the Antonios were among the top 500 taxpayers in the Philippines in 2012[28] and 2013.[29]

He was a board director of Operation Smile Philippines when it was unveiled in 2012 by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, executive vice presidents of The Trump Organization.[30]
