Rupert Murdoch lists two jaw-dropping New York apartments
Media mogul Rupert Murdoch is selling not one, but two apartments in New York City located just one floor apart - and hopes to make a combined $100 million from them.
Having bought the apartments in 2014 for a combined $USD 57.9 million ($AUD 77.6 million).
The first, a three-storey penthouse that takes up the entirety of the 58th, 59th and 60th floors of the One Madison tower near Madison Square Park, comes with stunning views and an asking price of USD $62 million ($AUD 83 million).
As well as having five bedrooms, the penthouse includes a ‘staff room’, a kitchen with stunning city views, and a room with soaring six-metre ceilings and a wrap-around terrace.
A curved glass staircase connects the first and second levels, while an internal lift connects all three.
The second, a smaller three-bedroom apartment on the 57th floor, is on the market for $USD 16 million ($AUD 21.4 million).
Deborah Grubman, the listing agent managing the sales from Corcoran Group, said Murdoch bought the penthouse and had it fitted out to his own specifications while he lived in the downstairs apartment.
Once it was complete, Murdoch kept the smaller home for staff and guests.
Before its most recent listing, Murdoch attempted to sell the penthouse in 2015 for $USD 72 million.
Having failed to sell at the time, the mogul could walk away with a $30 million profit if he succeeds in selling the homes now for his desired price.
