The nearly 24,000 square foot apartment

I feel bad for the owner. They will be exhausted just trying to vacuum that place and keep it clean.

Well if he’s on the 79th floor, the pizza will get cold before it’s delivered.

What is property tax?

The City of New York used to maintain a website maintained by the Property Assessors Dept at which you could enter a specific address e.g. "221 Park Avenue Apt 34G" and get incredible info...owner,sales price,tax assessment amount and lots of other interesting stuff.

I assume they still have it but it's possible that they don't. I've read that some cities/towns/counties that used to have them did away with them because they were being used by crooks for various kinds of fraud and robbery.

Eh, if you have the wherewithal to spend over 50 million on a dwelling in NYC, I would assume you are part of the in-crowd and will be insulated from the 99%, and from most of the criminal city govt. Unless, of course, you are connected to the Trump.

24000 square feet - that’s over a half-acre.

The lowest of the three floors is probably a dormitory for the help.

I wonder how much fertile land with water on it and natural beauty you could buy for $238 million.

That’s a starter home compared to this....

Antilia, a 27-story skyscraper on the pricey Altamount Road in Mumbai, is the most expensive home in the world, valued at upwards of $1 billion. Mukesh Ambani, an Indian business tycoon and multibillionaire, moved into the 400,000-square-foot mansion in 2012 with his wife and three children.The modern property was designed by Chicago-based architects Perkins & Will.

Antilia, which was named for a phantom island in the Atlantic, features a multistory garage with space for 168 cars, a ballroom, three helipads, gardens, a temple, guest suites, a health level and a home theater that seats 50.

This may have something to do with the price.

I would never live in those things. They look like death traps.

he 79-story skyscraper that contains the apartment is under construction and is right on Central Park in an area often referred to as New York's billionaires row.

It's probably a mistake for so many of them to live in one place because it makes it easier for Robin Hood de Blasio to get to them.
