In 2013, the developers behind the Atelier decided to list all nine units on the building’s 45th floor as one mega-sale, hoping that a mega-rich buyer would snap it up for $85 million. No one has bitten so far, and the ask hasn’t lowered in four years—which makes it the most expensive home on the market right now. The apartment comes with some sweet (read: completely outrageous) perks, including a $1 million yacht with docking fees for 5 years, two Rolls Royce Phantoms (one convertible and one hardtop because of course), dinner for two every week at Daniel for one year, a year of courtside season tickets to the Brooklyn Nets, and a Hamptons summer rental.
-igor, you’re prolly right, as i age (28), i do realize how unhealthy it is to compare myself to others. its not healthy but i like to compete. my boss for example is prolly worth 200x more than me but im not phased.
and its very retarded to compare myself to most Americans. the bar is set way too low. its like comparing my bball skills to a 10 year old. af is a great place cuz theres such a huge concentration of charterholders.
one of those houses that chopped the listing price by 24mm is not my style. Kind of creepy actually. Of course I am no where near close to ever buying a house of that price of caliber but I like simple and modern look. The gotchic cathedral style can remain on the outside of the building. The inside can be light in color and simple in design for me.
It’s hard to change the internal structure of those old buildings though. The main difference to me is that new building emphasize feelings of spaciousness, big windows, natural light, open flowing rooms, and integration of work/live spaces. Older buildings are darker, have small windows, are more claustrophobic, and have all these weird hallways (“gallerias”?) and nooks for old people to display their antiques. This feeling is evident not just from the layout of the apartments, but from the exterior, and in the lobby and hallways as you go through the building. When you have $80 million to spend on a house, you can be picky about design trends and won’t just care about size and location.
Also, who still goes to Daniel? That place hasn’t been hip since the 1990s, amiright?
excluding your home is stupid. you can mortgage your home and use the proceeds to invest. there is no difference between the guy who owns his home outright and the guy who mortgages his home to invest.
Isnt it more advantageous to obtain a house mortgage at a low % and instead of paying off the home in full to invest the money at a higher rate of return to net the difference?
he has nothing better to say so he has resorted to labeling people as an accountant then desk jockey and little asian. lmao
All of which are not to be underestimated in my opinion…because let’s break it down for Abraham…
Equity research is probably 70% accounting - looking at 10k, 10Q - and pro-forma statements. The activity especailly the latter is text book corporate accounting or FP&A. “Finance” here is knowing the company from talking to the mgmt, sell side analysts, and understanding the industry and the company itself.
Desk jockey?? yes, nothing wrong with that we all work at our desks unless Abraham is a client portfolio manager or folding clothes at GAP in which case, he would be a car jockey or foot jockey either greeting customers or chasing clients…i don’t know.
Littel Asian…well not only is Abraham idiotic but also racist. Asians unfortunately or fortunately have money and brains…can’t ignore that group…Visit any major metro areas in the country and you can see that Asians take up roughly 25% of the best jobs and best houses.
All points to one conclusion…Ignorance…“ignorance is the most dangerous element to our society”
