The happiest days of that homeowner's life, moving into those homes......... AND moving out. :eek:

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:

only 8,000 sq feet!

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
