Plenty of room for the camels and harem. However for just 5 more mil he could have had Michael Jackson’s Neverland Ranch.

The views are spectacular, but I wouldn’t want to live in something like this, you can’t even open up the windows. No place for a grill either. Not worth it, IMO.

He’s worth $1.37 billion and the US isn’t doing enough to stem international terrorism by eradicating poverty in the Muddled East. Right.

For 95 mill you’d think you could get a shower with that bathtub.

Yep, such a place is too high up to go outside due to wind.

IMO, it’s not a real pentHOUSE without a true outdoor yard.

This is a gorgeous suite with views as high as the empire state. But not a ‘house’

Dude, it has entire rooms that are showers. With waterfalls, side jets, benches and room for 10 ladies.

Why is my first thought that this ‘transaction’ will one day be linked to The Clinton Foundation? ;)

The interior has all the warmth of an office building. And six bedrooms, seven bathrooms? Do the owners have gastric issues?

I would live there if I can afford it.

My 46th Street office is just ten blocks away from this tower and as it was being built, I'd frequently take lunchtime walks by it on my way to Central Park. Simply magnificent building and they are building several more high rise residential towers in the general vicinity. One that I have my eye on is the one about to go up on 111 W. 57th Street. They are working on the foundation of that one now and it will shoot up to around 1,775 feet (just one foot shy of the new Freedom Tower). Will be fun to see that one go up and I'll plan my daily walk around that.

Having had a chance to work in NYC for a while, I have to finally agree that it is the greatest city in the world. It's one of the few places left on earth where capitalism, hard work and success is still celebrated.

A lot of space to slip and crack one’s head though.

I have never wanted to live up off the ground. We have a huge yard, huge trees, plants, flowers and 4 dogs. Our yard has squirrels, rabbits and birds of every description, all that right in the middle of Houston. I am not leaving this spot until I am called home by Jesus!

I wonder who had that listing and what the commission was! Whew! What a payday.

I've had that type of home for most of my adult life and even today I sit on 3 acres of Connecticut forest with all the birds, squirrels, deer and rabbits you could ever want. However, as I get older, yard work gets harder and harder.

Living out my final years in a city apartment, with access to all that the city offers, and with all the outside stuff like gardening and snow removal taken care of appeals to me more and more. I can always go to Central Park if I want to see squirrels.
