for that kind of money, you can buy 5000+ acre ranch in Montana, surrounded by beautiful mountains and you get your own river! and also plenty of wildlife and fishing.
Montana = no civilization. Also if you can afford something like that, you never have to interact with the poor people. They have their own private limo, private entrance, private elevators.

Nah, mostly because of it's garden and outdoor space And 5 bathrooms??? Who the h... needs 5 bathrooms,,, but the Italian marble, I have to admit it was a very nice touch
@@itsmeGeorgina Italian marble isn't expensive, but if people know that you have money they'll tell you that the marble they are selling you is the best cause it was digged by a god that came to earth to take that piece out.
Meanwhile, in the Midwest, just one million will buy you a mansion and a decent chunk of land. (We've got plenty to spare.) 100-300k will buy you a classic American two-story suburban home. Smaller houses with less land can get well below 100k, especially the further you go out from urban areas. Renting - apartment or home - is often dirt cheap.
what about an apartment room in London called One Hyde Park sold for $220 million, and a house in London sold for $500 million called Carton house terrace
In a twist of fate, NYC’s old property tax laws mean that billionaires row apartments pay taxes that are only a few time more than a normal apartment despite costing almost 50 time as much.
That's what I wondered about these places. A few of them seemed to have taken extra effort to cut out the street sounds (like the one with open air atrium) but most seem like they would be almost as noisy as living down near the street. Not worth paying that sort of money if you can't have an actual quiet home.
For a lot of people who live here (prob not the person who buys this apartment) the ambulances are comforting. When I visit friends outside the city I can’t sleep well without ambulances and noise outside. It’s a crazy difference🤣
that’s what gives it its’ ambience 🌝 but seriously i don’t think i would even mind, if it were silent i’d be extremely concerned that a bomb would blow in a second or something
Thank you for pointing that out. Those views are crap. The neighboring buildings are ugly AF. Putting yourself 1000 feet above a crappy view just means you can see more crap.
@@SuWoopSparrow yes, you make an excellent point. I do live in a dense city and share space. It's expected for many things. However, condo space for a mortgage at 28.5 million, I would expect more privacy. That is all I meant to say.
@@Jen-lc5ycWell that's up to you. Nothing is stopping them from changing one of the five bedrooms into a gym. It just doesn't come that way by default. But this is how most condos are at all price points. You can look up 20+ million dollar condos in LA/SF and it's the same thing. You'll even find houses that have communal space for "leisure activities" at that price point in those cities. As far as a pool goes, I'm not sure how that works. Maybe it's difficult to get approval for building pools in condos like that. I'm not sure. I don't know. It's easy to say the more privacy the better, but I am not the one buying these homes.

But for most of these people, they get plenty of privacy in their main house and their concern here is probably more convenience
@@SuWoopSparrow what you say is true. In any big city there has to be a give and take philosophy. Perhaps the buyers don't care much about pool privacy. It's means more to me than the size of a bedroom.
To be fair if you’re paying this for an apartment you’ve probably got mansions dotted all over the place. This place will be occupied a max 2 months out of the year maybe for the odd business trip and the wife (or mistress!) doing a bit of shopping.

NO. You can not buy a even small villa house in Portofino, Italy. It cost 35 Million Euros, which is about US$ 50 Million. Monaco? add one more 0 there.
For this money I would buy a castle outside the city with a big ass green garden, horses and wayyy more space and then I would by a helicopter to fly to NYC.
It does. If you have to ask how much dude, you can't afford this place. They dont care if the bottle of water was $20,000. How does that make you feel ?
As far as new expensive NYC apartments go, this one is quite beautifully laid out and appointed. Tall ceilings, lots of full windows with views and light everywhere, good size rooms, amazing solarium, divided into living area on one floor and bedrooms on another. All that is not your typical boxy one level apartment. You are essentially buying 2 apartments. It is duplex but it feels more like a townhouse. Yep, 28.5mil is ridiculous amount for an apartment but if you had that kind of money to spend or invest and already had a couple of houses, wouldn't you?
These are the buildings blocking the sun in Central Park, for billionaires who live around the world and are only in town to see how their money's being laundered.
@@pinkheart315 Depending on where you live.. you can get bigger mansions for a few million that are better. I would never fall for this location bullshit. New york is shit anyways
28.5 million!!! Man I better be living in a mansion on top of a cloud with my own space shuttle, and pilot. But then I guess, i'd be kinda dead. But I still want my cloud garden.
And the thing is, no one is willing to pay for them. They're only this expensive to attract foreign real estate speculators. But even they aren't buying, so buildings like these end up doing drastic things such as slashing prices and even offering "rent to own" programs where tenants lease for a couple of years and then buy the apartments at discounted mortgage rates.
@@KrisJanJack but with this kind of money, you'd think the elevators would always be working. I mean isn't that part of what these people are paying for?
@@henrygoodbar9477 Hot water is different than needing a space that could fit 2 families, all being used by 1 person 😐 just like one person doesn’t need 3 cars, or a mansion, or a fancy cat… hot water is actually needed for certain things, certain things are not. This sarcastic a$$ comment wasn’t necessary.
mel saint New buildings can‘t just pop up. They have to buy air rights from surrounding properties in order to build this high. The views are only obstructed on the lower floors, which in case of One57 are mostly used as a hotel.
@@mrjakobt i mean the view out of that apartment was literally obstructed. you can see some of the park but there were two massive buildings in the way
Elijah Martin Those are Essex House and Hampshire House. Both have been there since the 30s. The view is still excellent imho and a few floors higher those buildings aren‘t noticeable anymore.
$28.5 million for an obstructed view of the park is considered cheap. If you want a full clear view of the park, you are looking at roughly 80 million or higher. This is only the 41 first floor out of a total of 72 floors.
I'll tell you why. The real estate market in NYC has become over inflated due to the money luandering opportunities that real estate presents to the Russian mob.
People from Qatar, Saudi Arabia, dictators from all around the world, monarchs, people trying to influence the us government investing a lot of money, Russian kleptocarts.. etc
@@lukec.7782 specifically, wealth. There's a point where it's not just "being rich" and it's a socially detrimental thing. At which point I just see it as hoarding
Yeah.i dont mind rich people but when the working class is struggling is when it seems greedy to have excess wealth. Not to mention...its bad for society to have too much wealth inequality. As the working class get exploited more and more and fall under the poverty line...its a matter of time before you have a revolution and blood on your hands. If you have a healthy middle class...people dont resent the rich so much and wont show up at their penthouses for their heads
It's not hording. The rich are just parking their money because you can't have it all in a bank. It's a way to protect large sums of cash from inflation. Finally it allow thier money to continue to work for them. Noticed they keep the furniture most times? It's because they not really planning on living there. It's a really expensive hotel that they own when they visit.

As awesome as this apartment looks, 28 Million is a bit high, first of all you have a restricted view of central park, 2nd of all all the cool things like the Billiard table, Pool, etc. have to be shared with other people. You could get an insane mansion anywhere in the world for that money.

But again, what does my peasant mind or business non-savviness know.
Borys Pomianek No basements where I live. I really want to see one one day because I see this written so much. Speed up the process and get this apartment yourself.
@@Doomreb Maybe you see it written so much because you deserve it? Unless you are in a position to actually invest this kind of money, when you "laugh" at these people all you are doing is painting yourself either a child or a fool.
Used to cost $28.5 million. Could probably get it half price now. These days I'd personally get something in the country, away from any big city in the u.s.
The sales have gone down because......people cannot afford to buy a house in New York city!!! 8 years=25%?!?! That's insane!! You'd have to be crazy to live and own there
In other states u can buy mansions with huge backyards or beach houses with more than 20k sqft living spaces with 10car parking spaces for 28mil.. compared to that this apartment looks like a birdcage😂
Who says they don't own such property as you stated and more i mean this is billionaires we are talking about 28mil is a drop in the bucket for them if they have billions....
@@thesovereignofdawn0689 that's what I'm saying they r buying bigger properties in other states than birdcages in NY billionaires row.. the sales have gone way down in the past couple of years..
And if you buy those mansions in other states you won’t live in NYC. Simple. For the price that you buy mansions in other states you can also buy 1,000km sq ranches in third world countries.
Thank you for the offer but I think I'll keep my mud hut. It's not that I don't like the view or the building, I'm just in love with that hut, such an earthy feeling.
Charles Hamilton yeah it's a beautiful view eh. Of concrete, congested streets and a tree here and there through the gaps of buildings that are full of apartments that make prison cells look like pent houses. Yeah, if I had Jeff Bezos kind of money and worked in New York (which to me would be like becoming part of an ant colony and living in absolute hell) I may buy something like this. But it's really impracticable otherwise. I'd rather put money into bettering life in my country's communities and leave a legacy for my kids to continue plus also show them living a materialistic life doesn't bring happiness from within, it just masks deeper things and distracts you from you and others. Personally the money would be better spent buying a big property in nature and building houses/cabins on there for friends and family or turn it into a retreat for troubled youths, get them out of whatever bad environment they're in and teach them life isn't about what you don't have, but what you do have, and how to use what you have to create a better life for yourself and others. Also open their eyes to how Western culture has indoctrinated them into only seeing what's in front of their face, manipulating you through psychological marketing to possess and put value into materialistic items instead of people and the planet. Pretty much get them woke and focused with what's inside them and how to manifest it to better themselves and the world. That way hopefully we'd end up with more entrepreneurs, humanitarians and geniuses etc. Bc they've been pulled out of the cage society and culture has built around their critical thought since birth.
@@tothetruthandbeyond4510 Yeah. People are willing to pay that money just because of the name "New York". Its more that than the building. You can also took 2 weeks or 3 weeks of vacation in New York and rent instead of buying. So you will experience the same thing and keep si much money to make other experiences or other things. You can buy a freaking beautiful house like you said.
@@tothetruthandbeyond4510 If you pay $28.5 million on an appartment, that won't be the only property you have. Most of the potential buyers will have another if not multiple homes around the world.
Share all the extra perks with other people. And mind you, you're still living in New York, meaning crowded streets, traffic and all that. With 28m you can literally have everything thats there all to yourself
for 28.5 i want unobstructed views of central park. forget about 57th and 59th has too many tourists in the way. so that leaves CPW from 59th to the museum of natural history and 5th ave from 59th to the museum of art. or 2 blocks either side of the park with the same limits for a townhouse. even in NYC you can be very demanding with a 28.5 million dollar budget.
Vacationing with my girlfriend in Manhattan in the spring of 1978, we stayed at the Hotel Salisbury a few feet away on 57th Street, across from the Russian Tea Room. Our room was less than $57/night.
Or a fire. I live on the 6th floor of a 10 story building in the cheaper part of my town. That's a distance I can easily run down if there ever is a fire, or run one floor up to the fire escape to the next stairwell. If all else fails the firefighters can probably get me out via the balcony. Living that high like on the 41st floor is terrifying to me, I can't imagine wanting to live there.

A thing I learned in finance is its all about percentage $10 could be nothing for you but its 20% more than what a minimum wage worker in my state makes per hour. People buying these homes its probably 50% or less of their income per year
@@hamster1953 That’s truth man, it is all about percentage. Same thing with stocks
nice idea!
For $28.5 million, you can buy houses all over the world.
If you are spending 28.5 Million on real estate. You already have mansions all over the globe.
Oh no. There are way way more houses in China that cost more than $28.5M
All over the world isn't Manhattan's Billionaire's Row though...
NO. You can not buy a even small villa house in Portofino, Italy. It cost 35 Million Euros, which is about US$ 50 Million. Monaco? add one more 0 there.
28,5M you can get a small mansion in Bel Air, LA

As far as new expensive NYC apartments go, this one is quite beautifully laid out and appointed. Tall ceilings, lots of full windows with views and light everywhere, good size rooms, amazing solarium, divided into living area on one floor and bedrooms on another. All that is not your typical boxy one level apartment. You are essentially buying 2 apartments. It is duplex but it feels more like a townhouse. Yep, 28.5mil is ridiculous amount for an apartment but if you had that kind of money to spend or invest and already had a couple of houses, wouldn't you?
And I thought a $50 increase in rent was a lot
It is

Why this apartment costs $28.5 million
Step 1: be located in NYC
Step 2: Conceit
Step 3: Turn your nose up at all the homeless you must step over to get to your town car.
Step 4: Dodge piss on the sidewalk outside your door
Step 5: Tip the doorman VERY well so he doesn’t snitch to the Condo Association about your drug dealer coming to visit you at 3am
You should see the penthouse. Michael Dell paid $100 mil for it.
Just my opinion, any apartment no matter how big or fancy, is still just an apartment. Nothing beats the privacy of a hosue
Hosues are my favorite way to ensure privacy.
Agreed. Hosues all the way.
House?

Real estate is all about location so that’s why it cost so much

Yep just buy a house in Texas.
These are the buildings blocking the sun in Central Park, for billionaires who live around the world and are only in town to see how their money's being laundered.
This is not prime location, there is a building blocking your view on central park. If you buy that you are a sucker. Take care now.
28.5 million? you better give me 28 floors for that!
A mansion costs the same
28 and a half actually!!
You will never have to worry about it I am sure.
@@pinkheart315 Depending on where you live.. you can get bigger mansions for a few million that are better.
I would never fall for this location bullshit. New york is shit anyways
And some suky suky long time too.
28.5 million and you still have 2 buildings blocking your view???? haaaaa ripoff
The buildings are the view. If you don't like architecture then, you might not want to live in a big city.
Yet nyc has a massive homelessness problem...
I could buy a mansion in Beverly hills + a large garage in it and fill it up with luxury cars for that money
You can buy 2 mansion in belevery hills

Haha cloud garden sounds nice!
There's no reason. As long as someone is willing to pay for it. That's why
And the thing is, no one is willing to pay for them. They're only this expensive to attract foreign real estate speculators. But even they aren't buying, so buildings like these end up doing drastic things such as slashing prices and even offering "rent to own" programs where tenants lease for a couple of years and then buy the apartments at discounted mortgage rates.
Elevator's not working?
Good luck taking the stairs lmfao
They would have staff to carry you.
No stairs. No staff. No elevator. One fire. One parachute.

This sarcastic a$$ comment wasn’t necessary.
$28.5 million and an obstructed view of the park?? No thanks
That's what I thought as well and when a new building pops up another obstructed view
mel saint New buildings can‘t just pop up. They have to buy air rights from surrounding properties in order to build this high. The views are only obstructed on the lower floors, which in case of One57 are mostly used as a hotel.
@@mrjakobt i mean the view out of that apartment was literally obstructed. you can see some of the park but there were two massive buildings in the way
Elijah Martin Those are Essex House and Hampshire House. Both have been there since the 30s. The view is still excellent imho and a few floors higher those buildings aren‘t noticeable anymore.
$28.5 million for an obstructed view of the park is considered cheap. If you want a full clear view of the park, you are looking at roughly 80 million or higher. This is only the 41 first floor out of a total of 72 floors.
I'll tell you why. The real estate market in NYC has become over inflated due to the money luandering opportunities that real estate presents to the Russian mob.
People from Qatar, Saudi Arabia, dictators from all around the world, monarchs, people trying to influence the us government investing a lot of money, Russian kleptocarts.. etc
William Dornan Yepp, it’s true. Mayor DeBlasio commented on that.
People really need to stop glorifying this kind of hoarding
none given of money?
@@lukec.7782 specifically, wealth.
There's a point where it's not just "being rich" and it's a socially detrimental thing.
At which point I just see it as hoarding
Yeah.i dont mind rich people but when the working class is struggling is when it seems greedy to have excess wealth. Not to mention...its bad for society to have too much wealth inequality. As the working class get exploited more and more and fall under the poverty line...its a matter of time before you have a revolution and blood on your hands. If you have a healthy middle class...people dont resent the rich so much and wont show up at their penthouses for their heads
It's not hording.
The rich are just parking their money because you can't have it all in a bank. It's a way to protect large sums of cash from inflation.
Finally it allow thier money to continue to work for them. Noticed they keep the furniture most times? It's because they not really planning on living there. It's a really expensive hotel that they own when they visit.
@@justSTUMBLEDupon just sounds like you're describing hoarding to me

Thank you for the offer but I think I'll keep my mud hut. It's not that I don't like the view or the building, I'm just in love with that hut, such an earthy feeling.
All those buildings occluding the view of the park. What a joke.
If they put in the effort to built it higher so the very top storey will overlook the surrounding buildings than it might worth the price
And some people like the city building view. What's the deal
Charles Hamilton yeah it's a beautiful view eh. Of concrete, congested streets and a tree here and there through the gaps of buildings that are full of apartments that make prison cells look like pent houses. Yeah, if I had Jeff Bezos kind of money and worked in New York (which to me would be like becoming part of an ant colony and living in absolute hell) I may buy something like this. But it's really impracticable otherwise.
I'd rather put money into bettering life in my country's communities and leave a legacy for my kids to continue plus also show them living a materialistic life doesn't bring happiness from within, it just masks deeper things and distracts you from you and others.
Personally the money would be better spent buying a big property in nature and building houses/cabins on there for friends and family or turn it into a retreat for troubled youths, get them out of whatever bad environment they're in and teach them life isn't about what you don't have, but what you do have, and how to use what you have to create a better life for yourself and others. Also open their eyes to how Western culture has indoctrinated them into only seeing what's in front of their face, manipulating you through psychological marketing to possess and put value into materialistic items instead of people and the planet.
Pretty much get them woke and focused with what's inside them and how to manifest it to better themselves and the world. That way hopefully we'd end up with more entrepreneurs, humanitarians and geniuses etc. Bc they've been pulled out of the cage society and culture has built around their critical thought since birth.
@@tothetruthandbeyond4510 Yeah. People are willing to pay that money just because of the name "New York". Its more that than the building. You can also took 2 weeks or 3 weeks of vacation in New York and rent instead of buying. So you will experience the same thing and keep si much money to make other experiences or other things. You can buy a freaking beautiful house like you said.
@@tothetruthandbeyond4510 If you pay $28.5 million on an appartment, that won't be the only property you have. Most of the potential buyers will have another if not multiple homes around the world.
