Condo goes for a cool $45 million in NYC
 

NEW YORK -- A publicity-shy British financier plans to pay $45 million in cash for a 12,000-square-foot perch in AOL Time Warner's intended new home at the edge of Central Park, the most expensive apartment sale in Manhattan history.

12,000 square foot APARTMENT? holy crap that is huge.

Thats just sick money man

How do I become a Financier? Where's the pen and paper? :Graucho

Was his name Lensman?

here is their website:

probably the coolest place on Earth to live is Manhattan but the cost of living is ridiculous. There are rich successful people who live in smaller apartments in Manhattan than TGP submitting newbies.

i think unless you're a young person who just needs a mattress to crash on to live nicely in Manhattan you need minimum mid six figures annual income.

One Central Park - that is one cool address. Sounds like a TV show already.

"This site requires a fast connection to be seen at it's best. Slower connections will require longer upload times."

Is that a polite way of saying "if you're only on a dialup connection, there's no fucking way you can afford to live here"?

wow those layouts are kick ass.

you chaps feel free to come over anytime... pipp pipp cheerio

Man that is crazy shit I could buy a small island for that. Very nice views though.

You could buy a LARGE island for that - pick one:

HAHAHA! I literally laughed out loud.

bloody hell!! that's really, really sick expensive!!!!!!!!!!!!!:BangBang:

best part is the "in cash" lol

hey quiet, buy me a house

Yep. That's the part that got my attention most of all.

I like the private islands better....place to grow the ganja

I think these apartments come with a rebate if you get media exposure...

Naaah, not true. You can get a 1 bedroom in Manhattan for less than $2,500 a month. Most people who have them are making less than $100k. I had one just about every year since I was 18 until I moved to Brooklyn 2 years ago for the bridge views and space.

That's the first time I've seen the 1 Central Park site. It's very cool!!! Unfrtunately, to get an apartment with a decent view in there it'll probably cost 4 million.

Hmm... motivation. ;)
