One57, the newly constructed residential skyscraper in New York City, has been called a "billionaire's haven" because of the prices of its units. The least expensive condo in the building had an asking price of $7.35 million, but that pales in comparison to the two-floor, 10,923-square-foot duplex penthouse that recently closed for a record-breaking $100.5 million.

While we know that the apartment covers the 89th and 90th floors of the building, the other details of the space are a bit of mystery. Curbed reported back in October that the buyer, hedge fund billionaire Bill Ackman, thought it would be "fun" to buy and that he intended to flip the apartment, not to live in it. Ackman called it the "Mona Lisa of apartments," which would have made more since in 1962 when the appraisal value for da Vinci's painting was also $100 million.
Hopefully we'll get to see actual photos of the space in the near future, or when Ackman decides to relist it for a handsome profit.
