Under Construction New York penthouse sells for above $90 million
We had witnessed the interest of wealthy buyers in luxury real estate properties in New York City on several occasions earlier. The Manhattan French Gothic Townhouse was a case in point. Located at 4 East 80th Street, the apartment went on sale last year only to fetch a whopping $90 million to become Manhattan’s most expensive mansion. And if the asking price for a New York Penthouse sounds outrageous to you, then getting them on rent might draw gasps. The most expensive rental home in New York had a $100,000 per month sum charged for. Even the King of Pop had rented a $100,000-a-month rental home in Beverly Hills back in 2009. And now, setting a new record in the New York real estate market, a duplex penthouse at Midtown Tower sells for more than $90 million. Bought by an anonymous buyer, the penthouse is a 10,923-square-foot den occupying the 89th and 90th floors of an under construction building at 157 West 57th Street.

Babe Ruth’s home for sale at $1.65 million
George Herman Ruth, best known as ‘Babe’ Ruth was not just an American baseball player who spent 22 seasons in Major League Baseball; he was the heart of the game. He is not recognized as a pitcher but a great pitcher, not mere a hitter but a dazzling hitter, and was so nicknamed ‘the bambino’ and the ‘Sultan of Swat’. The former home run king is still a major draw among baseball buffs and collectors, as we have earlier seen that his memorabilia have always garnered hefty prices at the auctions, which becomes apparent with our list of world’s most expensive sports memorabilia that includes four items of this player. Now, the Babe Ruth fans have the opportunity to live in his house, as the Sudbury house which the player owned in the late 1920s is up for grabs at a listing price of $1.65 million.
