Abbey spent a combined 18 years and more than $200 million erecting the pair of super-luxury residences but, apparently, has decided to downsize. looks like a $50 milion loss, if he will sell them. his homes are not top #5 in USA. In NY there are 6 listings above $90M.
100 mill home: http://www.trulia.com/property/3091331641-150-W-56th-St-PH-New-York-NY-10019 only 8,000 sq feet!
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702303962304577508203444266924.html Funny, exactly the same price is asked for an apartment in tallest tower in Europe - The Shard. 50 mil GBP or 78 mill USD. The cost was approx $700M to build the whole building. Given its floor area 1,200,000 sqft, you could pack at least 100 huge apartments there. x 78M each = 7.8B potential value! Much better deal than two empty homes in rural America
