With a personal net worth of 1.2 billion, Sir Paul McCartney has many business interests, but what he takes pride in most is his real estate holdings. According to a report from Variety.com, the most recent purchase of the former Beatles member is a $15.5 million pad on Fifth Avenue.
McCartney's new property is a four-bedroom triplex with a terrace overlooking Central Park. The property sits next door to Neue Galerie in Manhattan, according to a report from dailymail.co.uk. It boasts floor-to-ceiling windows and mirror-walled marble bathrooms, a private elevator and a library. The private elevator opens to a white marbled foyer and a marble staircase that leads to the second floor. The total floor area is estimated to be around 3,500 square feet.
The lavish property is strategically located, as it's just two blocks from the Guggenheim, next door to Neue Galerie and 10 minutes away from the singer's New York townhouse. What sets it apart though from all the other properties McCartney owns is the sweeping panoramic views from the flat, which can be enjoyed from the terrace or from the living room through the glorious floor-to-ceiling windows. Day or night, the McCartneys can enjoy the New York city skyline as well as the scenery from Central Park itself.
According to Elledecor.com, McCartney owns several sizeable properties in the United States: a Manhattan island townhouse, a Beverly Hills estate, as well as homes in the Hamptons and in Arizona, among others. He also has properties in his native United Kingdom, which includes a gated mansion in London as well as a farmhouse in East Sussex.
As reported by latinpost.com, the listing of the house states that the buyer is required to shell out half of the purchase price as downpayment, which means McCartney has spent $8 million so far for the house as initial payment. Aside from this, there's also reportedly a monthly maintenance fee of $12,935.
