Sting’s two-floor penthouse apartment offered immense views of Central Park
- Value of Property: $50 million
- Year of Purchase: 2008
- Location: Central Park West, NYC
It must be amazing to live somewhere with views over Central Park. Not only do you have something pretty incredible to look out on every day, but it means you’ve got a home in one of New York’s most sought-after destinations. Unfortunately, to afford such a place, you need to be someone with a lot of money at your disposal.

Sting was one such man, with the artist purchasing a penthouse here for a monumental $26.9 million in 2008. Almost a decade later, he put the duplex on sale for more than double what he paid. It didn’t quite sell as high, but he still made $50 million off the property that offers four bedrooms and covers two floors.
