so i'm standing here on billionaires row
where the average price of an apartment
is just about 9.8 million dollars in
this video i'm going to show you what
it's actually like to live here on
billionaires row in new york city
now billionaires row is a set of ultra
luxury residential skyscrapers
constructed or still in development
right along the southern end of central
park in manhattan the boundaries of
billionaires row extend from park avenue
on the east to columbus circle in the
west right along 57th street now several
of these buildings are in the super tall
category which means they're taller than
1 000 feet or 300 meters and they are
among the tallest buildings in the
entire world the towers that make up
billionaires row include 157th which was
built in 2014 and is 75 stories tall
this was the first of the super tall
skyscrapers and it's nicknamed the
billionaires building then you have 432
park avenue which was completed in 2015
and is 85 stories tall next up is 53
west 53rd street now this is technically
not on billionaires row but it's
included in this group of super tall
skyscrapers and this was completed in
2019 and rises 77 floors above manhattan
then we have 111 west 57th street which
was completed in 2021
rising a whopping 91 floors and finally
we have central park tower which is the
tallest of the billionaire's row
skyscrapers rising 95 floors up
completed in 2021
at a cost of 3 billion
ironically enough the people who live in
these towers usually go from their
apartment into an uber then off to their
destination and then back to their
apartment but for those billionaires who
like to get their steps in there's tons
of great things to do in walking
distance from billionaires row you can
check out the nearby world famous plaza
hotel the ultra exclusive russian tea
room go for a run in the vast oasis that
is central park head to carnegie hall to
catch some tunes
and of course check out all the high-end
retail shopping on fifth avenue
billionaires row is essentially new york
city's monopoly board for the uber
wealthy both international and domestic
titans of industry who essentially come
together here to work play and do lots
of shopping for instance in january of
this past year billionaire hedge fund
manager ken griffin broke the record for
the most expensive home ever sold in the
u.s when he bought a
238 million dollar penthouse at 220

thank you mozzie for sponsoring this
week's episode and with that here is
your gourmet eat-in chef's kitchen you
have a door to shut this off in case you
are having a chef in here properly
preparing your meals taking up the
majority of the real estate here in the
kitchen you have this granite island
which has the waterfall edge here is
your dual subzero refrigerator combo i
mean just like how beautiful this is i i
love a nice kitchen you can really
appreciate a nice kitchen and then you
have your refrigerator drawers below
again dual on either side making our way
down you have your wine storage here
let's actually pop this open
oh nice and chilly in here then you have
your melee sweet here your cappuccino
maker your oven storage above and below
i want to point this out you actually
have your outlets built into the side of
the island here so they're out of the
way they're out of sight no one really
likes outlets in a place like this and
then additionally along this far back
wall you have the granite on the
backsplash the countertop you have your
whole melee suite here so a six burner
cooktop with
i've never seen this and comment down
below if you know what this is i believe
this is a
charcoal grill i'm actually not quite
sure so comment down below if you know
what that is dual dishwashers and if you
live in the city you know that having
even just one is a rare thing here you
have two this beautiful deep set gourmet
chef sink dornbok fixtures very
expensive and then on this side here you
have two ovens and your warming drawer
down below off of the island you have
this nice cozy little breakfast moment
here and views to what would be the
south you can see 53 west 53rd street
looking straight down
on 57th street i really love this
kitchen i like how clean and open and
airy it is and it really works for the
space
so making our way out of the kitchen
through this door we're gonna head back
out into that gallery hallway off to the
left we're not gonna make our way down
the space again this whole home has
smart tech built in off to the right
here this would be the owner's wing here
in this penthouse i'm gonna keep this
shut you have closets on either side
then an additional closet ahead of you
and if we make the corner and turn to
the right this is the owner's bedroom
here in 157 could you imagine waking up
with the view of central park the view
of the park is really the selling point
here not only that but it's the privacy
the exclusivity those views the access
to fine dining shopping all right here
and like i mentioned the majority of
people who are actually living here
aren't actually living here
they're using these apartments for
places to store value and if they are
living here they're going from their
driver to the office to the restaurant
and then right back up here so off of
the bedroom area this is the owner's
bathroom
entering the owner's bathroom you have
these gigantic slabs of italian marble
which have all been book matched you
have it on the floors and the walls
beautiful large soaking tub those views
from the tub of central park here you
have your floating vanity with dual
sinks i love the steel frame mirror with
the built-in lights on either side and
then additionally you have frosted glass
with those steel frames entering the
water closet and additionally for your
walk-in shower which is pretty damn cozy
if i say so myself leaving the owner's
bathroom going to head back into that
gallery hallway and directly across the
hallway for convenience this is staged
as the children's room as you can see
you have the prop plane in here this is
probably very very expensive i'm not
quite sure i actually do know the entire
cost of the staging for this apartment
is just about four hundred
thousand dollars just for the furniture
but as you can see it's a very decent
sized second bedroom so let's head back
out into the hallway at the very end
here this is where the remaining
bedrooms are in this penthouse so off to
the left this one has currently been
staged as a home office but like i
mentioned they all have those entry
bathrooms and here is your executive
moment on billionaires row in your quote
average penthouse i i use the quotes
because people in the comments are like
what 13 million dollars it's kind of
hard to wrap your head around but yeah
this is an average apartment and here's
your home office and then additionally
we have
a powder room here connecting these two
bathrooms with this beautiful onyx here
on the backsplash full-length mirror
cool built-in sink
and this fourth guest bedroom
floor-to-ceiling glass windows views to
the south almost to see the west for
