Bette Midler's lavish Fifth Avenue penthouse apartment has gone on sale for an astonishing $50 million after the much-loved singer and entertainer revealed she wanted to downsize now that her daughter has flown the nest.
The Wind Beneath My Wings songstress, 73, who is married to performance artist Martin von Haselberg, has lived in the Upper East Side triplex which boasts stunning views of the Central Park reservoir, since 1996.
With a more than generous 7,000 square feet of space and an additional 3,000 square feet of outdoor space, the property is among the best of its kind anywhere in New York City.

WHAT is a Performance artist?
Another classic limousine liberal.
Yup. I'm 71 and never thought I'd deteriorate to the kind of physical conditioning I'm in today. I hate what aging does to a person!
I think she should sell the apt., perhaps not as a fixer, but... a lot needs to be done to that place to make it ready for the high-end market, imo.
Wonder what the taxes are like.
maintence fee is 25k a month
I guess $500k to 1m a year.
The big news to me is that she is still alive.
If I found that kind of lifestyle attractive and had the money, I’d buy it for the views alone. You can always change the inside.
But I’m looking for something like this (if not quite so remote :-):

If you’re a good leftie, you get written up in Architectural Digest for this stuff.
Only $25K/month for fees/maintenance...I’m in!
Comments at the link also note the hypocrisy.
btt
From one of the photos, it looks like it's just four or five floors above 5th Avenue.
Beautiful apartment, but for $50 million, too much street noise and street dirt to deal with.
If I had that much money I would buy a few hundred acres in Western North Carolina and build a nice house there. I might even pay a few million for it.
I would then purchase the same near Defuniak Springs for Winters. I don’t know what I would do with the rest of the money. Just throw it on the pile I guess.
Dailymail commentors get quite snarky. i usually read a few of the latest and a few of the top ones.
Meghans PR firm is having to send people over to Daily mail to try to combat the sheer negativity towards her...especially now that the Queen is hurt over her conduct.
That’s is probably William’s PR team. LOL
How the hell does she have that much money? I’ve never met anybody who owned a Bette Midler record. I mean I know she’s rich, but that apartment is mega mega rich.
suppose to be worth over 200 million
She needed 10,000 sq ft for her daughter, who in her 30s has decided to fly the coup?
“Much-loved”. Is that what the kids are calling it these days?
Black thugs in London use brass knuckles to rob him of his PANTS, right there on the street:

That’s a builder-grade staircase made with Home Depot components. How gauche! How déclassé!
