Dmitry Rybolovlev, a Russian billionaire, bought an $88 million New York City property in 2011 for his daughter, Ekaterina. Now, the Manhattan apartment is listed again on the market for sale.
This is the most expensive residential purchase in the city at the time for the penthouse of 10 bedrooms at 15 Central Park West, which the Russian oligarch acquired for his college student daughter. Mr. Rybolovlev now listed the property on the market.
Rybolovlev had won an appeal on a divorce settlement of $4.5 billion with his wife, Elena, and the two reportedly agreed not to sell the pad.
The New York Post news report said that the sale might be difficult for an astronomical asking price of the penthouse, as the New York City residential real estate marketing has been quickly declining.
The penthouse of Rybolovlev has been recently unseated by the two recent purchases at One57, as the priciest residence in New York City.
While the penthouse apartment of Dmitry Rybolovlev is back on the market, its asking price is not yet revealed.
According to the Real Deal report, the penthouse would stay off the market after the Russian oligarch reached an agreement in divorce proceedings with his ex-wife, Elena. Rybolovlev was sued by his ex-wife, Elena Rybolovlev, in the Manhattan Supreme Court over the 10-bedroom unit at 15 Central Park West. But they agreed to stay the action as the Russian billionaire appealed at a Swiss court's ruling that he pay a $4.5 billion divorce settlement.
Meanwhile, when Donald Trump sold his sprawling Palm Beach, Florida mansion five years ago for a whopping $95 million, he did not name the buyer.
But now, Dimitri Rybolovlev has finally acknowledged that he was the one who purchased the mansion at 515 North Country Road at Palm Beach. The 33,000-square-foot property on the oceanfront of Palm Beach was known before as the Gosman estate.
The Russian billionaire has amassed his wealth through the potash fertilizer industry.
