Is a burning question which has kept me up soul searching many a night. Finally, my weary soul can rest because it seems I have found my answer. What does $70,000,000 buy you in NYC?
Well, it buys you the penthouse at the Pierre hotel located at 795 5th Ave, New York, NY.
The penthouse encompasses the 41-st through 43rd floors of the hotel and includes such amenities as any and all conceivable 24 hour hotel services. The listing for the penthouse describes it thusly:
It encompasses 16 grand rooms - including five master bedrooms, 7 full baths and three half-baths, five working fireplaces, oak flooring with mahogany borders throughout, separate guest suites plus staff accommodations. The living room is considered the most magnificent privately owned room in the world. This incredible space was the original ballroom at The Pierre Hotel, with 23 foot high curved ceiling and 20 foot French doors overlooking the park and the city. Four adjoining terraces add to its phenomenal dimensions.
Which is.....nice. Don't get me wrong, it sounds quite lovely in fact. It just seems well, I just always thought $70,000,000 would go alittle, I don't know further.
Like buy me a private island.
With a (good natured) mad scientist
and minions
lots and lots of minions to do my bidding.
16 grand rooms? Pttthh...please
try a castle's worth,
which in truth I don't know how many rooms constitutes a "castle's worth", but it's more than 16, I can tell you that much.
I mean if one where to purchase this piece of real estate at the asking price of $70,000,000, with a $14,000,000 down payment, with 30 yr interest rate fixed at 6%, that would work out to a monthly payment of $335,748.
And you'd have to live with the knowledge that tourists were only a few floors away from you at any given time. That's right tourists!
Well, that's NYC for you, the dollar just doesn't stretch that far here anymore I guess.
