FYI the 250 million dollar penthouse you guys reacted to, it's the same real estate agency. It's called Serhant. In the beginning of the video he mentions "Ryan Serhant" who is the CEO and did the video you guys saw.
7:17 ...Dave said old school wood panelling like a CEO's office.
..Also sounds like a English pub🤣😂
I would rather have wood panneling found in an older building.For all of the space and cost of this one,the floor plan is awkward.
300 acres of woods and a 1000 square foot single story open space home. 😊
I'd much rather have that. I hate living in a city.
I couldn't live in NYC or any big city. I want a cabin in the woods & 10 acres near a pond.
I’m with you Dave. I would always be thinking about earthquakes, fires, etc. lol even if irrational I would think about it.
Where is Tony Stark and the bots and the cars and the suits? ... what a Tease. But... I LOVE how Daz has a "been kinda there, seen a lot of that, but yeah, it is all that" with all his travels. Props Men.
Yall can keep all that. I'll take empty pastures for miles anyday
Not worried about a television in that great room! The views are all I would need! 😍😍
Shit for 45 mil I could buy 500 acres on pk lake for 10 mil, build a house the same size for let's say a mil, and still have 30+ mil left over....
properties like this is not to seek out a bargain, it's to be in the center of Rome, where all roads lead to. im sure many billionaires would also have vast amounts of land and capital as well.
love when you do contents like these 👍
Daz, this is where you should be doing your retirement, not AL or NC.
HELL NO!..... I'd never want live in something like that. I want space or land way before being a prisoner in this. Rather have a view of nature, maybe a mountain range
These apartments are for super rich businessmen that do a lot of business in New York, so they just spend the 45 million instead of staying in a luxury hotel. They still have a mansion somewhere in Miami or California with the massive pool and property. It’s crazy how much some people have
well if you can afford this then you normally will have both.
You aren’t a prisoner in a place like this, get real lol
It does have a gilded cage kind of feel 😂
@@aj897it's a concrete prison.
Deal breaker no balcony.
If I had 45million to blow on a property, it definitely wouldn’t be this apartment.
So?? In 1981 Telly Savalas said there was an elevator view in Birmingham that nearly took his breath away. He was never there, but it would have.
Is this supposed to be a riddle?
Love my city, greatest in the world! Hope you guys come back to New York soon. Beers on me.
I plan to visit, especially for Christmas , but I can’t handle that amount of people on a daily basis.
"greatest in the world" [CITATION NEEDED]
@@AbeBSea your mother.
@@jchristif everybody’s different that’s what makes this country great. Definitely come by for Christmas and you’ll have a great time. We really get in the spirit here in manhattan, especially when it comes to decorations lol.
nice
Billionaires row is a death trap. Many of the building including this one have been taken to court due to over 150 defects; however , the court case isn’t being publicised much as the owners of the apartments don’t want you to know about it. This makes sense when you understand that 70% of the owned apartments aren’t occupied due to there purchasers being foreign investors who bought into it hoping for a future profit. Beautiful apartments and views that will have their legacy destroyed by poor construction.
“Many of the buildings including this one have been taken to court…” 🙄
It’s exactly one building, and it’s not this one; get real. All 1500+ construction and design defects are related to one problematic building - 432 Park Avenue - which is/was at the center of the (singular) lawsuit you’re referring to.
I can never understand why so many people try to either needlessly exaggerate or completely fabricate things online just to punctuate a point they’re already making anyway.
I rather take $45 million ”Gatsby mansion” on Long Island.
I'd take that money and buy a massive home of tens of acres out in the countryside.
It shouldn't be considered an en suite when you have to walk half a mile to take a leak at 3am!
The elevator ride must get annoying
I’ll take that over walking up 80+ flights of steps
You'd be suprised how fast they are.
For 45M's.....give me two stories, maybe 3.....and LAND!!!!! I NEED ACRES!
Can you imagine the amount of insider trading required to afford such an apartment!?!
Nah, all you need to do is pick the right parents!! Just like the people you're buying the place from!! And the people you'll sell it to!!!
If I had that kind of money I’d be on the beach in Italy. Looks like a nice place to rent out for a couple of nights tho. Pretty views of the park
They probs have Italy, Monaco and Singapore to add to portfolio.
Only 45M, that’s change money
Tavern on the Green is the name of the restaurant
I couldn’t do it, that view alone sells it enough but I gotta be able to get out quick and this is too damn high.
ur only 30 feet from ur helicopter!
lol there's no TV in that first big room with the large L couch because that's literally the "entryway". It's where you just come in.
I have no issue with being up that high but I could never live in a place like that lol. I would totally stay there for a good week though.
Suddenly fire starts and elevator shuts down and see what their plan for escape
@@mlee6050 Call in the escape helicopter!
And yet the rain falls on the rich and the poor equally.🙂
Thanks. Yeah, maybe the market for this may be small, but it's amazing how many new billionaires are created every year.
The $250 million one is nicer IMO. Of course you're up on the 133rd floor of that building so you pay for the view.
I love visiting Manhattan, it's an hour train ride for me. But I'd never in a million years want to live there. The cost of living is insane. The average 1bd apartment is 4k a month and it will be TINY.
The thing is if you could afford a place like this, you’d live there
@@aj897 With that kind of money I'd buy a home and a plot of land.
Yeah, the Manhattan real estate & rental market is insane
It’s of course driving people to want to live in the other 4 boroughs, which in turn drives up prices there as well
That is lower than average for Manhattan. By a lot.
@@aj897 The people who CAN afford to live there, don't. It's a trophy piece. I don't like big city life.
I would rather have a Mountain View
Right as you are family, it's called Billionaire's Row...they probably have mountain views in better parts of the world😂
Mountains get boring, you’ll see lol
Me as well...saw the great view from the Twin Towers many a time , until....then moved out west and ...can't beat the natural vistas!
Kinda hard if u work in the city. These billionaires have several houses all over the world anyway
If you have this money you probably already have a property or two in the mountains
I'm scared of heights so I wouldn't live there permanently
but I am poor so I would however like to try it for one night so experience the luxury and try not to look too close to the window
It would mostly host parties or events.
Where luxury becomes opulence.
Oh, to be a Narcissist!
Right? Imagine paying $45M to tower over all the poors.
Nope. This a pure projection and jealousy….
@@johna.7235sounds like insecurity on ur part….
I’ve never met anybody on this level but I’ve met quite a few rich people multi multi millionaires. In my experience they have been some of the kindest and humble people. It’s usually insecure lower middle class people that project these traits onto rich people.
It’s like when a fat ugly person thinks an attractive people is always judgmental, meanwhile that person isn’t even thinking about you.
that powder room is larger than some other new york apartments
It absolutely is an investment. Those with money buy them just to bury or hide money. I'd bet the owners rarely live there. Property taxes are typically less than income tax. They can write off depreciation over time. Depending how it's owned a clever tax attorney could get it written off as a business expense
Your right, about 70% of owned apartments are not occupied. And as far as property taxes go, due to this being classed as a ‘large residential’ you pay less tax then a ‘small residential’ which often equals to paying the same amount as a 3 bed townhouse.
They couldn't pay me to live in New York!I'll take the West coast any day.
Not impressed with this penthouse...that kindvof money?? Utterly insane! And who wants to live in NY nowadays anyway!
the only thing that interests me is the view, I would never want to live in a place like that.
Wahhh😭 It's too high
I'd die lol these make me feel claustrophobic.
Not sure you know the meaning of that word … it’s 6000 square feet so you won’t feel claustrophobic
Yeah…I could live there.Hang on while I go out and get obscenely wealthy.
Those bedrooms are TINY for that price. So not worth it.
If I lived up that high, I’d have a parachute stashed in every room in case of fire.
While the apartment looks really nice, I’d rather live somewhere like upstate NY or Long Island where I can have a big house.
Don’t hope to be upstate in the big house, nobody hopes for that.
@@wthornton9526nobody hopes to live upstate 😭
No way on God's green earth would I live in that.....my horse farm is the only place for me
Id rather a thousand acres with a quarter mile track for a driveway.
They probably have all 3 😂
Are those windows airplane-proof? If I was a billionaire I would keep a very low profile
atleast you'd escape a tsunami
That just seems so lonely to live there. Not for me.
Chicago skyline >
Nope not worth it, people can have their penthouses. Give me a cabin, with a lake in the front, forest in the back and view of the mountains.
I am scared of heights so this penthouse is too much for me..
I do like penthouses but I would like something lower (10th floor max) with balcony on top that gives view of the whole night sky so I can star gaze.
The design and the luxury is great on this video but I was to custom design it I would like a spacious lounge including rooms with carpet but not too big cos I am not a fan of living with lots of people. Maybe a spare room or two would do.
someone was ripped off big time !!
So glad I have zero envy about this place. It looks cold and lonely and the furniture was tacky, terrible floor plan and clunky pillars. Of course great views but that's not the place I'd put my money into. You could do a whole lot better for that much money. Is someone obsessed with bathrooms or what?!
i would last a month and I'd be dead your not lying daz this place is sick
I'd be embarrassed to invite anyone there.
View is great, the inside is dull.
It's an "entertaining" space. Not a living space.
Your intro music is back to being very loud, again.
It's beautiful and the view is to die for. Something you don't get anywhere else. But for that price I need a big mansion with a gorgeous pool.
There are parts of Central Park that are known for night time anonymous gay sex. In the 1970s you couldn't enter the park in many areas even during the day lest you get mugged- in the 80s and 90s it was mostly at night that it was dangerous. Now it's only the very North part of the park that is deserted and dangerous at night. My high school used Central Park ball field for gym class where we played baseball and soccer (early 80s) and street kids tried stealing our equipment in mid-day from the 103rd street ball fields...
True. Im a 23 year old New Yorker from Manhattan and the stories my parents/grandparents have told me about the city’s past are crazy 😂
Imagine paying that much money and having no land at all. Lmao…
If you can afford to pay 45 mil for a penthouse then I’m sure they own plenty of land elsewhere
@@Steven-lb4bl yeah it said Michael Dell was the owner of one of the penthouses, he also owns a sprawling 135 million dollar mansion in Texas and a 61 million dollar mansion in Hawaii. He’s worth 20 billion
I couldn’t live there, too afraid of being in an elevator that high
Central Park used the be a Black self sufficient town called Seneca Village, guess what happened to it?
Not being a hater, just never could imagine wanting to live somewhere infested with rats roaches and Im not riding the subway. Now its worse than ever. I wouldnt live in New York if they paid me. I dont wanna live in a $45million apartment. I want a house.
the guy doing the tour, he is horrible! and no manners trying to sell something to very rich ppl.

why watch TV at night when you have birds eye view of the park. you can real HD live views of some homeless dude getting shooed off of a park bench. some flamboyant men behind some bush. a guy dumping a body into the lake. a predator stalking prey or some guy getting stabbed for refusing to let go of his phone.
Live in a swaying apartment overlooking a slum, with no real nature and just traffic for hours and hours around you? No thanks.
@@heywoodjablowme8120 That makes even less sense: why would you want to be in New York if you're not there to work? Everyone leaves NY immediately once they've made their money or found a job elsewhere, or can do distance working.
I've had city apartments, and many others in my family have them, but everyone prefers to spend time in the country and suburbs (for those still working).
Most people don't drive in NYC so traffic isn't really an issue. It's actually quite nice never having to worry about driving and being able to walk, bike, or take the train to everything. The one thing these expensive buildings are missing is direct access to the subway so you never have to go in or out via street level like the old Waldorf Astoria spur. Also these supertalls don't really sway that much as they have giant dampers to counteract any motion caused by wind.
@@jdanon203 "People don't drive" is not a valid answer, as they still can't get around any better! It's still a massive expanse of slum for hours in each direction. Going to the crime-infested, disease-infested, urine-smelling (and worse), polluted particulate-filled air of the subway is not an alternative any sane person wants to use either.
The wealthy take a car service to the airport and fly away, but that is one of the worst experiences in New York when comparing internationally. And why even live in New York with all its problems and massive cost & taxation and almost certainly dropping property prices (in comparison to other places at least) if all you do is sit in your apartment, then sit in a car, then fly away?
You're right that they have dampers, but they still sway. They have the dampers to make the swaying low enough for the stucture to stay intact, dampers absolutely do not remove the swaying.
@@heywoodjablowme8120 You're not really wealthy if you have to run around all kinds of slums to collect your money yourself... Again: why would you WANT to live in an apartment in New York?
