I'm actually looking at it now outside my Lex Ave window.

I remember when it was going up a few years ago and it struck me then as nothing more than a tall skinny Lego brick that added nothing to the NYC skyline. Since then, other towers on 57th Street have surpassed this one and are at least a little more aesthetically pleasing. But I always wonder how much time those who own these high-priced apartments actually spend there.

We might laugh at these people and call them suckers but there are a number of people in the world who are so fabulously wealthy that paying $30m and up for a place in Manhattan that they might only spend a few weeks a year is akin to one of us common folk splurging for dinner at a nice steakhouse.

I used to take clients to Windows on the World for closing dinners. The views were great but you could feel the building sway.

Wouldn't want to spend the night that high up.
