On this side of the Atlantic there aren't big enough money lotteries (to my knowledge) that would enable you to purchase this insane penthouse apartment in Manhattan --- but hey, one can dream, right ?
Seriously though....what kind of people can even afford to buy a place with a price tag as absurd as this ? Doesn't it all seem a bit...too much ?
Let's say I win $ 200 million in a lottery (yeah, right) -- I would never, ever buy a place like this even though Manhattan is my favorite place in the world ! Yeah, I would buy a place in New York (and Miami, and San Francisco...and Thailand...and in Italy...maybe Switzerland...) - but I'd never feel the need to go overboard. Penthouse ? Maybe, but not with a two digit price tag. Three or four bedrooms for guests, nice kitchen, a view over Central Park perhaps...and that's it. I hope the people who can afford apartments like this give to charity as well.
Ah, but I digress. It IS a gorgeous apartment, isn't it ?

Yes, it's gorgeous.......but it looks "cold" to me like a national museum or something. Guess I'm too old for it! I like the occasional set of curtains to keep the rest of the world's eyes out! HA. Would be great in a movie................Ginny
ReplyDeleteYes, curtains would be good - never know who's watching, even in the skies :)
DeletePersonally I'd also feel a bit uncomfortable living in the penthouse of the 'tallest residential tower in the western hemisphere' for obvious reasons...that's just waaaay too high up in the sky for me.
