Telecom billionaire Carlos Slim, Mexico’s wealthiest man (former richest man in the world) has re-listed his massive NYC townhouse.
Located across from the entrance to The Metropolitan Museum at 1009 Fifth Ave., at $80,000,000, it’ll break the record for the most expensive townhouse ever sold in NYC.
Built in 1899-1901, it was designed by the firm of Welch, Smith & Provot in the Italian Renaissance palazzo style –a designated NYC Landmark.
The terrace and rooftop have views of Central Park, The Met and NYC skyline.
Among it’s impressive features;
- 20,000 sq ft
- 27 ft along 5th Ave
- 100 ft along 82nd St
- marble fireplaces
- ornate moldings
- a grand staircase
- eight levels
Btw, the real estate taxes alone are $23,000 a month!
If I had Jeff Bezos’ or Bernard Arnault’s money, I would make it a private museum and spend my fortune filling it.
