I assume another close contender is the Nay Pyi Taw airport in Myanmar.

The city was built as a showcase capital for Myanmar's military government, and has crazy sights like a 20 lane highway (with almost no cars):

The craziest part of the city to me was the amusement park. It was open, but only half complete. Ride operators would follow us around to turn on the rides we wanted to ride. One of the rides didn't have the female side of the seat belt buckle, so I just had to tie the straps together.

Very sad how much money was spent on this city, especially considering how poor the country is.
