Because nobody actually lives there, these kind of appartments are purely bought as investments and in an effort to offshore money for dictators and corrupt officials outside of the USA...
For less than 10% of the price, you could own a large historic castle in Europe surrounded by a huge parc, with your own river and forrest maybe. A nice and quiet place to raise your children or to retire. This 150 M$ flat on Billionaire's row will probably remain empty forever, purchased as an investment by some wealthy Middle-East guy who will spend no more than a weekend there every year.
In Brazil for 2.5% of the price you could buy a 3 floor mansion, in a private condominium with beach area located on a safe and developed city in the southern region 🤣🤣
That’s how it is. Im a realtor in nyc, one time helping my buddy film this beautiful loft in tribeca on Greenwich street. I made a comment to the listing agent about how it looks like the guy was living here yesterday unknowingly insulting him. Little did i know that these people N E V E R even live in the place most of the time. Guess i showed him how little i know, treated me like a pleb the rest of the time….
I had the once-in-a-lifetime privilege of touring this apartment the same day you filmed this, only hours later. I just have to say, Erik… your editing and videography for your videos is absolutely exceptional. It showcases as true to a real perspective of just how magical and mesmerizing these homes and their views are. It’s something you cannot even begin to describe, unless you’ve experienced it in-person, but your videos capture that experience so beautifully. Exceptional work, my friend!
This penthouse is stunning, but so impractical. I love how you captured the window cleaners from your POV and with the drone. You're looking fabulous as always, Erik.
The efficiency of this *Dale Valskov* is next level. To juggle walk throughs of various angles on the topic delivered to-camera, differnet content per topic from various folks underneath the umbrella of the track list of the larger big band concert itself is engaging and refined. To make a dense taccess like this so digestible is really something. Awesome work !!
I've seen a couple of tours of this apartment & this has to be my fave because you focused on aspects that others didn't. Love that you incorporated the windows cleaners & the journey upon entering the property
I appreciate you showing the entire building because I was curious what the building has to offer. A lot of other channels that covered this penthouse only showed the actual penthouse.
There are a lot of bedrooms but they seem really small, this whole apartment or penthouse, whatever you want to call it is completely unnecessary. I can't imagine anyone no matter how rich buying this.
A firetruck couldn't reach that high with its ladders. Wouldn't that be a reason not to buy it? Are there sprinklers built in? And you'd have to pay someone to clean the inside of the windows.
At 150 million, some big expectations were set. And indeed, those views were absolutely spectacular. Imagine using that soaking tub at sunset over the city. Just wow.
You are mistaken. The one that is listed for 250 million dollars is the triplex penthouse on levels 129, 130, 131. This is the duplex on level 127, 128

Around $250,000 was made when I sold my flat in Rochester. That's why I was upset when my standard savings account yielded only $171 in interest. It was suggested to me to buy stocks after I conducted some study. Which stocks would be a good place to start?
Although the stock market is exciting and can yield a healthy return on investment, professional advice is necessary for efficient portfolio management to prevent market burnout due to its extreme volatility.
I wholeheartedly concur; I'm 60 years old, just retired, and have about $1,250,000 in non-retirement assets. Compared to the whole value of my portfolio during the last three years, I have no debt and a very little amount of money in retirement accounts. To be completely honest, the information provided by invt-advisors can only be ignored but not neglected. Simply undertake research to choose a trustworthy one.
How can I participate in this? I sincerely aspire to establish a secure financial future and am eager to participate. Who is the driving force behind your success?.
REBECCA NASSAR DUNNE is her name. She is regarded as a genius in her area and works for Equity Services inc. She’s quite known in her field, look-her up.
I just googled her and I'm really impressed with her credentials; I reached out to her since I need all the assistance I can get. I just scheduled a caII.
As far as I know, the price tag of the triplex that went up for sale for 250 M has been reduced to 200 M. This, however, seems to be the duplex that is right below the triplex.
When this apartment was shown on the Netflix series "Owning Manhattan", the price was 250 million. Now it is down to 150 million. Having some troubles selling this huge fuckup of an apartment?
Too many tight, closed spaces, corridors and doors for such a large apartment. Poorly designed. The view might be impressive, but layout of the apartment isn't.
I agree. I don't know exactly how these ultra wealthy types live, but I imagine they don't have very many people in the household and then you want open and varied spaces so you're not just running around like a rat in a maze.
At this price point you should have a dedicated chefs kitchen AND a show kitchen. And did you notice the doors? all with cheap visible hinges, also at this price point it should be with hidden hinges at least. Gave office vibes almost.
I couldn't agree more. The ceiling is so high yet the rooms are so small. Grand Salon doesn't feel grand at all. Even the master bedroom is smaller than one in my home, and I don't even live in house but condo in Toronto just like this one (I see it's called apartment in US). I think they could just go with 5 bedrooms and give them more space. I'm aware of that NYC land cost is freaking expensive but I find penthouse units in Miami Sunny Isle Beach have a lot better designs for 1/5 price. For this price, one can only expect the luxury and space. But nothing seems luxurious in this penthouse unit other than the view, and spaces are wasted by poor design. Also, I couldn't help but laugh at the amenities. For example, the theater has decent seats and chairs but the screen is so small. Then there's a conference room right next to a tween room. A basketball hoops at the side of glass door and that room is pretty close to salon and massage therapy room which requires absolute tranquility. Think about all those noise problems. They probably thought sports and spas go together since they are all categorized in wellness, but they haven't thought through what it's like to be in actual use...unless what they really expected was no one will actually live there but some people will buy it as investment
I think what people don’t realize is when you’re this far up, it’s tough to appreciate the beautiful architecture the city has to offer. Being this high up actually results in a far more generic view than an apartment at or slightly above some of NYCs most beautiful buildings.
I feel that the last bull run was bolstered by all the money being printed. Major returns next bull run but I think they will be tamer in my humble opinion. A 10x on *Dale Valskov* and a 15x on polygon are fair considering how much those two coins are interwov
As a beginner investor, it's essential for you to have a mentor to keep you accountable. My self, I'm guided by Caitlin Albrecht. A widely known crypto consultant
It's interesting how all the residents of Billionaire's Row in NYC, like David Sacks, share a common trait-they're all savvy investors. It's inspiring to see how they leverage their wealth through smart investments. I'm really trying to dive into the stock market myself to fuel my financial goals. Exploring different investment strategies and learning from the best is definitely the way to go!
wise observation, for many years equities and some fixed-income assets have produced yields needed to provide solid income for financial needs, the importance of mitigating risks could be why investors are turning towards advisors for guidance
Agreed, I've always delegated my excesses to an advisor, since suffering major portfolio loss early 2020, amid covid outbreak. I'm now semi-retired and only work 7.5 hours a week, with barely 25% short of my $1m retirement goal after subsequent investments to date.
bravo! mind sharing info of your invt- advisor please? tried learning few strategies to profit in this current market, but all of that flew right over my head
Certainly, there are a handful of experts in the field. I've experimented with a few over the past years, but I've stuck with ‘’Judith Lynn Staufer’’ for about five years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive.She’s quite known in her field, look-her up.
I find this informative, curiously explored Judith on the web, spotted her consulting page, and was able to schedule a call session with her, she shows quite a great deal of expertise from her resume.. very much appreciated
What's odd about the pricing to the apartments is that you could buy a full floor apartment a few floors down for about $100m less than this. You could buy 2 for less than $100m and 3 for less than the price of this current penthouse. So the logical thing I would do, if I was the billionaire trying to buy this or the penthouse above is, but 2-3 full floor apartments and combine them. With the bottom floor being entertainment and spa area only. You could have a full gym, swimming pool, steam room on one side and then a home cinema, bowling alley an arcade or billiards room on the other. It would be like a great party section. You clearly will have enough space to do all that, on one floor. Considering if you go further down, you can see how much space there is to fit so many different things. So that's the bottom floor done. The middle floor can be living space only, or keep it the exact same, if you plan on only buying two full story apartments. But if not, the middle can be living space only. With two kitchens. One for the chef and then the top floor can be bedrooms only. You could do all that and spend less than $150m. I know a person who has already done that. Not sure if it was 2 or 3 but one of the apartments came with 1 or 2 outdoor terrace. So that was a better purchase for them. What's also crazy is, you're still so high up with unobstructive 360 views of New York City, New Jersey and you could even apparently see 4 more states, with one of them being Connecticut and the others probably being Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Delawere and Maryland maybe
I didnt realize at first that this is the apartment right below the top one. As soon as I saw the decorations were different I was like "Uh, why did they change it?" lol
NYC luxury buildings waste a lot of money in hallways... There are better ways to distribute space. Quality finishes but not a lot of taste in how to combine them. However I love the format of your videos, it would be awesome to see you explore buildings by architects like Neutra, Beckhoff, Mies, Foster, etc. Not only in USA, you'd be surprise on how many amazing buildings there are arround the world 😁👌
Thank you so much for giving me a well detailed view of the whole building. ❤ I really did enjoy myself watching the whole tour but i feel the building missed having a fully packed game room.
So scary to see that none of all this has ever been used. Even the restaurant seemed like there’s never been somebody there except the cleaners. Just crazy
I love Erik's videos. And the fact he's so cute doesn't hurt either!! This is def a WOW residence and building. But with those floor to ceiling wondows at every turn, I'd be a nervous wreck
I mean I would love to buy it if I was billionaire, but honestly, as another youtuber put it, when analyzing this unit or a very similar one, it's just so high that when you sit down in your couch you don't see anything but the sky, no city, no central park, just the sky, you proved it at 6:40 despite your best efforts to sell it. But to be honest, if I was a billionaire I would buy an incredible mansion 5 times the size, with gardens, private pool and god knows what else for the same price, not an apartment. Then again NYC folk love to justify the idea of living like dogs in a kennel, even the billionaires it seems. EDIT: credits where its due, you did an awesome job showing everything the building has to offer, not just the unit.
@@Classic-SB And do you think they live in the mansion or in the apartment?. From what I've read these places are for parking money or investment, hoping it's price will go up (which hasn't happened considering another guy did a video on this particular unit a year ago and it was listed for a much higher price). Billionaire's Row as a whole seems to have been a wild bet that didn't give the returns everyone involved was expecting.
But if you're a billionaire...you probably have another home somewhere that's 5 times the size with land, a pool, etc. This is about location. Whoever buys this, I bet won't live here just like many of the other places in NYC at this value. Oversea billionaires just buying a place in the city. Look at Jeff Bezos real estate portfolio for example.
It would be embarrassing if you found someone cleaning the glass outside your window while you were taking a shower! Haha! Great building, I love it! Thanks a lot for sharing, really great job! 👍😄👏
first time viewer. that place is stunning, very professional and efficient tour and you mentioned your cameraman by name several times. very respectful. you're a pro at your job!
I hope that those people who risk their lives cleaning the windows of these buildings are paid fairly. I couldn't do that, I fainted before I got that far. In any case, this penthouse is spectacular. How much will the annual taxes be for such a place?
Congratulations, *Dale Valskov* I am relieved that you are out there fighting these thugs, We musttake every precaution to protect the elderly and the general public from these despicable con artists. Congratulations to You!! You deserve the Nobel Peace Prize for ensuring our security.
We'd appreciate it if your toured the following places: 1. The Whitney in Detroit 2. Casa Loma in Toronto 3. Neverland Ranch 4. Granot Loma in Michigan 5. The Chris Mark castle 6. The mansion that 50 Cent bought from Mike Tyson and keeps trying to sell 7. Antilia, that skyscraper house in India whose owner won't live in it because he thinks it's bad luck 8. That house in Homer, Alaska 9. Ca'd'zan
@@Myself-yf5do I'm pretty sure the house 50 cent bought from Mike Tyson, he gave it away to charity or as a shelter home. I saw that in one of the episodes of million dollar listing new york
@@Myself-yf5do those are just your top picks of yours that you want to see. But I don't think he'd even do half of them. I'm pretty surprised to learn that the owners don't live in the skyscraper home. Why build it if you think it's bad luck? Very odd. There's been a few homes that I've wanted to see multiple channels tour, but I am yet to see most of the suggestions I've made. But I loved it when Eric toured 180 east 88th street. That's my all time favourite Manhattan penthouse, because of the private rooftop alone and that actually gets privacy. They mostly tour homes that are on the market and not random ones suggested by the viewers. Especially if the owner of the property doesn't want their property to be toured. Like the former 50 cent residence. But a tour of that home is available on that one episode of MDLNY. As far as tours go, Eric rushes through each room and sometimes doesn't show all the rooms or most of them. Not in all the videos but most. Enes is the best one to watch for tours. He used to upload every Monday, but he doesn't do it as often anymore. But he's great and only 2 homes he has toured which I've wanted him to tour and it took a while for him to finally do it too
I reached 250 thousand dollars invested, it took me 2 years, last month I received 30 thousand only in dividends. Only with believers. This month it will be 40,000 and so on, in the next few years it will be 500 thousand in the year alone in Bitcoin ETFs and other dividend yields. What took me 2 years to invest, I will have in 1 Year
I am 52 years old. I reached my first 100 thousand dollars in just 3 months. I started with 20k investing in Bitcoin ETFs and other dividend income. My medium-term goal is to reach one million dollars before I turn 55.
This year I reached 100 thousand invested in Bitcoin ETFs and other dividend income, it was exactly 1 year and 4 months, I already accelerated to reach 200 thousand, I think I will reach the goal sooner
I think I like this one better than the one right above it. It's great that you show the entrance and the people who clean these buildings, they are the ones who make New York City move
Thats every billionaires row building. A study that made waves a couple years ago, showed that 44% of the units of all the residential highrises on 57 street have never been lived in. Some studies show up to 75% of the units on the row are vacant at any given time. This building is likely even worse than the overall average, given the even higher price points.
The problem with this is it's too high, so when you sit down in the middle of the room you wont see much of new york, just a blank sky. you have to walk up to the window to see the city. Better apartments are located lower such that the horizon is in the middle of the view when sitting down.
@@erikvanconoverAnd you always bring the best content right on par with the views! Keep it up! p.s. would love to see you tour the penthouse currently for sale at 215 Chrystie St.
For 150M shouldn't the master have like a fireplace, a hot tub, a sauna - a built in safe - shouldn't all the amenities be IN your unit lol - I mean the view is great but the condo is kind of anemic. 150MILLION dollars I expect not to leave to get a haircut and take a dip. Will this ever sell - they should probably break it up into 4 units - I can't see anyone wanting this for even 50 Million. You spent as much time on the amenities that EVERYONE has - as you did the unit - which says a lot.
Wow, this video is a jaw-dropper! Walking from the bustling streets of Billionaire’s Row to the serene penthouse is like stepping into another world. The highlight for me was the breathtaking view from the penthouse, especially the highest view of Central Park in the city. 🌳🏙 It’s incredible to think you can see all the way to Connecticut on a clear day. And the casual chat with the window washer? That was such a cool, human touch. It really shows the unique blend of luxury and everyday life in NYC. Thanks for this amazing tour! It felt like I was right there with you. 🙌
Even if I were a rich man, there is no justification for me to pay this amount to lock myself in this tower. With this amount, I can buy several houses in different areas, and if I like to live an experience or change the routine, I rent in the most luxurious hotel in one of the towers for a few days and then come back. Natural life
Interesting, but l'd rather live in the Dakota, or some other historic building facing the park. Besides, after 9/11, buildings that tall make me nervous.
Same here. A nice 5-10 million 4-5 bed apartment in a historic building would be far more fun and leaves a lot of money for other houses, planes, cars and years of spending money.
Must be difficult to waste so much money on something thinking you’re so important, and then you still end up sitting in the toilet with your $1,500 slacks around your ankles and realizing you’re out of toilet paper just like the rest of us.

Also, I couldn't help but laugh at the amenities. For example, the theater has decent seats and chairs but the screen is so small. Then there's a conference room right next to a tween room. A basketball hoops at the side of glass door and that room is pretty close to salon and massage therapy room which requires absolute tranquility. Think about all those noise problems. They probably thought sports and spas go together since they are all categorized in wellness, but they haven't thought through what it's like to be in actual use...unless what they really expected was no one will actually live there but some people will buy it as investment
been waiting for this tour from you for sooo long !
Me with a net worth of around $100.000 watching this: "Interesting...🤔"
I think what people don’t realize is when you’re this far up, it’s tough to appreciate the beautiful architecture the city has to offer. Being this high up actually results in a far more generic view than an apartment at or slightly above some of NYCs most beautiful buildings.
That’s the truth. A few stories right above Central Park is perfect.
I feel that the last bull run was bolstered by all the money being printed. Major returns next bull run but I think they will be tamer in my humble opinion. A 10x on *Dale Valskov* and a 15x on polygon are fair considering how much those two coins are interwov
This is a scam.
No pool in the unit? 150m and have to share a pool? Where's the bowling alley? This is very poor value for the money...
IKEA furniture and great view doesn’t cut it. For that money you’d get over a thousand acres plus a hundy spare to build. No contest
Becoming the person we needed during tough times is a powerful motivator for both personal and professional development.
You're right
Starting crypto trade was the best decision I ever made
speaking of crypto trading I know I am blessed if not I wouldn't have met someone who is as spectacular as mrs Caitlin albrecht
The very first time i tried, i invested $2000 and after a week, i received $19000. That really helps me a lot to pay up bills
As a beginner investor, it's essential for you to have a mentor to keep you accountable. My self, I'm guided by Caitlin Albrecht. A widely known crypto consultant
It's interesting how all the residents of Billionaire's Row in NYC, like David Sacks, share a common trait-they're all savvy investors. It's inspiring to see how they leverage their wealth through smart investments. I'm really trying to dive into the stock market myself to fuel my financial goals. Exploring different investment strategies and learning from the best is definitely the way to go!
wise observation, for many years equities and some fixed-income assets have produced yields needed to provide solid income for financial needs, the importance of mitigating risks could be why investors are turning towards advisors for guidance
Agreed, I've always delegated my excesses to an advisor, since suffering major portfolio loss early 2020, amid covid outbreak. I'm now semi-retired and only work 7.5 hours a week, with barely 25% short of my $1m retirement goal after subsequent investments to date.
bravo! mind sharing info of your invt- advisor please? tried learning few strategies to profit in this current market, but all of that flew right over my head
Certainly, there are a handful of experts in the field. I've experimented with a few over the past years, but I've stuck with ‘’Judith Lynn Staufer’’ for about five years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive.She’s quite known in her field, look-her up.
I find this informative, curiously explored Judith on the web, spotted her consulting page, and was able to schedule a call session with her, she shows quite a great deal of expertise from her resume.. very much appreciated
Hey, I want to start investing but don't know where to begin. Any advice or contacts for help?
It's wise to seek professional guidance when building a strong financial portfolio due to its complexity.
Same, I met Mrs Anna duke last
year for the first time at a conference in
Manchester, after then my family
changed for good. God bless Mrs Anna
Investing $15,000 and received $174,000
YES!!! That's exactly her name (Mrs Anna) so many people have
recommended highly about her and am
just starting with her 😊 from United States
she's mostly on Telegrams, using the user name👎🎉❤
What's odd about the pricing to the apartments is that you could buy a full floor apartment a few floors down for about $100m less than this. You could buy 2 for less than $100m and 3 for less than the price of this current penthouse. So the logical thing I would do, if I was the billionaire trying to buy this or the penthouse above is, but 2-3 full floor apartments and combine them. With the bottom floor being entertainment and spa area only. You could have a full gym, swimming pool, steam room on one side and then a home cinema, bowling alley an arcade or billiards room on the other. It would be like a great party section. You clearly will have enough space to do all that, on one floor. Considering if you go further down, you can see how much space there is to fit so many different things. So that's the bottom floor done. The middle floor can be living space only, or keep it the exact same, if you plan on only buying two full story apartments. But if not, the middle can be living space only. With two kitchens. One for the chef and then the top floor can be bedrooms only. You could do all that and spend less than $150m. I know a person who has already done that. Not sure if it was 2 or 3 but one of the apartments came with 1 or 2 outdoor terrace. So that was a better purchase for them. What's also crazy is, you're still so high up with unobstructive 360 views of New York City, New Jersey and you could even apparently see 4 more states, with one of them being Connecticut and the others probably being Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Delawere and Maryland maybe
I've lived in flats smaller than the bathroom! Love being able to see the inside of these buildings though- thank you!
I didnt realize at first that this is the apartment right below the top one. As soon as I saw the decorations were different I was like "Uh, why did they change it?" lol
Absolutely amazing. The views incredible. Thank you for sharing
NYC luxury buildings waste a lot of money in hallways... There are better ways to distribute space. Quality finishes but not a lot of taste in how to combine them. However I love the format of your videos, it would be awesome to see you explore buildings by architects like Neutra, Beckhoff, Mies, Foster, etc. Not only in USA, you'd be surprise on how many amazing buildings there are arround the world 😁👌
ok u watch too much arvin haddad
California is about open layout. NY not so much.
Thank you so much for giving me a well detailed view of the whole building. ❤ I really did enjoy myself watching the whole tour but i feel the building missed having a fully packed game room.
Many youtubers also making video on this 1 year ago for 250m 😂😂
Now it's 150 million
they're trying SO HARD to sell this thing...
Nope, this one is a floor below the 250m one. 250m one had terrace and double height grand salon
I'm just curious what the HOA monthly fee is 😂
@@pablonescafebar6043yes
Thats the other one. This mansion is diffrent.
OMG I LOVED THE EDITION of the video, it´s SICK!
I keep seeing this pop up. Why has no one bought this multi million dollar box in the sky with no yard?
So scary to see that none of all this has ever been used. Even the restaurant seemed like there’s never been somebody there except the cleaners. Just crazy
people with this sort of money don't have a large amount of spare time
@@HP83Smoke or share things with other people.
I love Erik's videos. And the fact he's so cute doesn't hurt either!! This is def a WOW residence and building. But with those floor to ceiling wondows at every turn, I'd be a nervous wreck
I mean I would love to buy it if I was billionaire, but honestly, as another youtuber put it, when analyzing this unit or a very similar one, it's just so high that when you sit down in your couch you don't see anything but the sky, no city, no central park, just the sky, you proved it at 6:40 despite your best efforts to sell it. But to be honest, if I was a billionaire I would buy an incredible mansion 5 times the size, with gardens, private pool and god knows what else for the same price, not an apartment. Then again NYC folk love to justify the idea of living like dogs in a kennel, even the billionaires it seems.
EDIT: credits where its due, you did an awesome job showing everything the building has to offer, not just the unit.
People that buy these probably also own the mansion you are talking about
With 150M you can screw all the porn stars you know alive.
@@Classic-SB And do you think they live in the mansion or in the apartment?. From what I've read these places are for parking money or investment, hoping it's price will go up (which hasn't happened considering another guy did a video on this particular unit a year ago and it was listed for a much higher price). Billionaire's Row as a whole seems to have been a wild bet that didn't give the returns everyone involved was expecting.
@@ScissorsRuns He is pointing out that billionaires dont have to choose. They can and will have both. You made it seem like its one or the other
But if you're a billionaire...you probably have another home somewhere that's 5 times the size with land, a pool, etc. This is about location. Whoever buys this, I bet won't live here just like many of the other places in NYC at this value. Oversea billionaires just buying a place in the city. Look at Jeff Bezos real estate portfolio for example.
It would be embarrassing if you found someone cleaning the glass outside your window while you were taking a shower! Haha!
Great building, I love it! Thanks a lot for sharing, really great job! 👍😄👏
They probably have a schedule that you’d be aware of.
@@jinnij.caiman If it were me, they would have given me the schedule but I'd definitely would not be aware of that the day of :D
In Kenya the Tallest Residential development is 34 Floors Only. I can only imagine being on the 127th floor.
first time viewer. that place is stunning, very professional and efficient tour and you mentioned your cameraman by name several times. very respectful. you're a pro at your job!
I hope that those people who risk their lives cleaning the windows of these buildings are paid fairly. I couldn't do that, I fainted before I got that far. In any case, this penthouse is spectacular. How much will the annual taxes be for such a place?
Most of these mansions look like corporate offices, not homes.
Sorry, this has all the charm and intimacy of a hotel lobby! It's vacuous and cold. I'd never live there, even if I could afford it!
Congratulations, *Dale Valskov* I am relieved that you are out there fighting these thugs, We musttake every precaution to protect the elderly and the general public from these despicable con artists. Congratulations to You!! You deserve the Nobel Peace Prize for ensuring our security.
We'd appreciate it if your toured the following places:
1. The Whitney in Detroit
2. Casa Loma in Toronto
3. Neverland Ranch
4. Granot Loma in Michigan
5. The Chris Mark castle
6. The mansion that 50 Cent bought from Mike Tyson and keeps trying to sell
7. Antilia, that skyscraper house in India whose owner won't live in it because he thinks it's bad luck
8. That house in Homer, Alaska
9. Ca'd'zan
@@Myself-yf5do I'm pretty sure the house 50 cent bought from Mike Tyson, he gave it away to charity or as a shelter home. I saw that in one of the episodes of million dollar listing new york
@@mohammedfaiisal Regardless, this channel should still tour it.
@@Myself-yf5do those are just your top picks of yours that you want to see. But I don't think he'd even do half of them. I'm pretty surprised to learn that the owners don't live in the skyscraper home. Why build it if you think it's bad luck? Very odd.
There's been a few homes that I've wanted to see multiple channels tour, but I am yet to see most of the suggestions I've made. But I loved it when Eric toured 180 east 88th street. That's my all time favourite Manhattan penthouse, because of the private rooftop alone and that actually gets privacy. They mostly tour homes that are on the market and not random ones suggested by the viewers. Especially if the owner of the property doesn't want their property to be toured. Like the former 50 cent residence. But a tour of that home is available on that one episode of MDLNY.
As far as tours go, Eric rushes through each room and sometimes doesn't show all the rooms or most of them. Not in all the videos but most. Enes is the best one to watch for tours. He used to upload every Monday, but he doesn't do it as often anymore. But he's great and only 2 homes he has toured which I've wanted him to tour and it took a while for him to finally do it too
@@mohammedfaiisal Enes doesn't show maps, but Eric doesn't show his stuff at night, so Eric and Enes even out.
I reached 250 thousand dollars invested, it took me 2 years, last month I received 30 thousand only in dividends. Only with believers. This month it will be 40,000 and so on, in the next few years it will be 500 thousand in the year alone in Bitcoin ETFs and other dividend yields. What took me 2 years to invest, I will have in 1 Year
I am 52 years old. I reached my first 100 thousand dollars in just 3 months. I started with 20k investing in Bitcoin ETFs and other dividend income. My medium-term goal is to reach one million dollars before I turn 55.
Cryptocurrency investments pay a higher percentage return than any other investment. Mainly Bitcoin ETFs, which mostly pay out every week
This year I reached 100 thousand invested in Bitcoin ETFs and other dividend income, it was exactly 1 year and 4 months, I already accelerated to reach 200 thousand, I think I will reach the goal sooner
How did you achieve this in a short period of time?
I would appreciate some advice please A. I am new to investing in stocks/cryptocurrencies. Can you guide me how to do this?
I like a human who is kind to other humans. Polite, respectful and great manners all around.
Just wondering, How much of this building is occupied?
I love how they've gotten time to put those new lounge chairs in the "grand salon" and absolutely loved the frame to 16:30 very humming.
Those sunrise shots ❤🩷💛🧡. Beautiful Eric. Thank you.
Filmed by Blake Roubos, he has one of the best cinematic eyes of anyone
I think I like this one better than the one right above it. It's great that you show the entrance and the people who clean these buildings, they are the ones who make New York City move
$150M? Guess I better start digging thru the cushions in my couch, haha!
Loved the video Erick, different and so relaxing to watch
You should do a "morning routine" video or "a day in the life"
Is there someone living in this building? Empty restaurant, bar, wellness Area....
I had the same thought
Thats every billionaires row building. A study that made waves a couple years ago, showed that 44% of the units of all the residential highrises on 57 street have never been lived in. Some studies show up to 75% of the units on the row are vacant at any given time. This building is likely even worse than the overall average, given the even higher price points.
@@sierrapeaks so you're actually buying the whole building for 150M with all the equipment just for your own use :DD then this is a good deal
The problem with this is it's too high, so when you sit down in the middle of the room you wont see much of new york, just a blank sky. you have to walk up to the window to see the city. Better apartments are located lower such that the horizon is in the middle of the view when sitting down.
No billionaire was going to pay 250M for this.
I got a feeling it wont sell for more then 80 or 90M
I appreciate the street-to-residence shot. Very immersive, nice touch
Would love some NY vlogs Erik!
i could never afford any of these but i love watching your videos because you show stuff that so few people ever get to see. thanks dude
so many corner moments!
@@erikvanconoverAnd you always bring the best content right on par with the views! Keep it up! p.s. would love to see you tour the penthouse currently for sale at 215 Chrystie St.
Really your best showing Eric . Amazing !
Bet the service charge is at least $100K ?
Ground rent ???
Parking at least $150K per parking space 😢
For 150M shouldn't the master have like a fireplace, a hot tub, a sauna - a built in safe - shouldn't all the amenities be IN your unit lol - I mean the view is great but the condo is kind of anemic. 150MILLION dollars I expect not to leave to get a haircut and take a dip. Will this ever sell - they should probably break it up into 4 units - I can't see anyone wanting this for even 50 Million. You spent as much time on the amenities that EVERYONE has - as you did the unit - which says a lot.
If a family of four moves into this house, they will also need four parachutes
Wow, this video is a jaw-dropper! Walking from the bustling streets of Billionaire’s Row to the serene penthouse is like stepping into another world.
The highlight for me was the breathtaking view from the penthouse, especially the highest view of Central Park in the city. 🌳🏙 It’s incredible to think you can see all the way to Connecticut on a clear day. And the casual chat with the window washer? That was such a cool, human touch. It really shows the unique blend of luxury and everyday life in NYC.
Thanks for this amazing tour! It felt like I was right there with you. 🙌
This is insane. This is an actual piece of art. Being in NYC is the greatest
Even if I were a rich man, there is no justification for me to pay this amount to lock myself in this tower. With this amount, I can buy several houses in different areas, and if I like to live an experience or change the routine, I rent in the most luxurious hotel in one of the towers for a few days and then come back. Natural life
This goes beyond Hollywood movies.
This is even better than Hollywood movies.
New footage.
Dylan is the real Spider-Man cause you couldn’t pay me all the money in the world to go that high on a building 🤣🤣
Erik, the penthouse of 53W53 is way nicer than this one.
Interesting, but l'd rather live in the Dakota, or some other historic building facing the park. Besides, after 9/11, buildings that tall make me nervous.
Same here. A nice 5-10 million 4-5 bed apartment in a historic building would be far more fun and leaves a lot of
money for other houses, planes, cars and years of spending money.
give me the Dakota any day over this
@@erikvanconover As a fellow South Dakotan, be careful of what you wish for. They don't pay you enough to leave. LOL.
That same property was 250 000 000$ a couple of years before that video. They figured they were a hundred mil too expensive 😂
Must be difficult to waste so much money on something thinking you’re so important, and then you still end up sitting in the toilet with your $1,500 slacks around your ankles and realizing you’re out of toilet paper just like the rest of us.
That's so low. That low vibration is what's keeping u at the bottom. U can do better than that man.
i mean is a spectacular apartment but NEVER would cost 150 millions, you could buy 10 mansions with that money is absurd
so cheap bathroom fixtures as well as furniture, poor doors and lighting why tf everything is so cheap in such expensive apt, overrated
love the full experience, from street to penthouse! wish more listings did that
Is this the same penthouse originally priced at $250 million that Ryan Serhant failed to sell?
Nah this is the floor below it
Erik
From a colleague watch your videos make me smile. Not because the properties, because of you. Your carisma makes us wish we could be your friends
I'm sorry, as nice and as big as it is, I don't think any condo anywhere is worth 150 mil, just me saying.
Love the video! Billionaires Row is out of this world!! I was wondering what camera do you use for filming your tours?
