Forbes: Inside Denise Rich's $65 Million Penthouse | Forbes

[@ThisisDanBell]

In Baltimore, this penthouse would sell for $65000.

[@misled1982]

+This is Dan Bell. SO COOLTO SEE YOU HERE!!!!! lets trash this place and make a nightly visit! hahahah

[@Qtopian]

Lol im pretty sure the real estate values are much higher than that in baltimore 😚

[@ina_violette_]

+This is Dan Bell. I think the high price is due to location, I mean the view and everything

[@mysingalongsong]

Am I the only person who thought this place was tacky?

[@Minie1993]

yeah I agree

[@pinkglitter4258]

mysingalongsong I totally agree!! my thoughts exactly

[@MrBuddydance]

There was a clunker tv in the library. The bathroom is awful and the closet is narrow and dark. The place does look tacky. Show the apartment. Very poorly done video.

[@aristidess1190]

yeah lots of money + a shitty taste

[@mrvk39]

doesn't matter... people buy this for location and the bones of the structure - everything inside will be remodeled and when you are fine paying $65 million for a place, another $1 million for renovation costs isn't much..

[@user-qr5hh1wn4i]

beautiful penthouse... but $65M ? Definitely not worth it.

[@Ciaseea]

+Sharp WHX All about location man.

[@user-qr5hh1wn4i]

luvuless12 True

[@Sahadi420]

+luvuless12 yeah, middle of NYC??? LOL You'd have to pay me.

+Sahadi420 That's true.

[@laflamed]

All about the square feet & location but I'd rather live in westchester

[@chel3SEY]

This clip is just 4 minutes long, yet the camera repeatedly focuses on the woman showing the apartment. Why? Who wants to see her? We want to see the apartment. What appalling editing.

[@johnargus9081]

I was thinking the same thing! They talk about a skylight, but don't show it. They talk about a fireplace in the library, but the camera stays on the women. It has seven bedrooms, but we see one, and not a very good view of that one either. The editor of this video should be fired for incompetence.

[@catherine5902]

chel3SEY ㅕ

[@re-in222]

chel3SEY you're ugly AND broke. lol bitter

[@designsbyden]

that was what i was thinking, i cannot even see the house o.o

[@JeffersonMartinSynfluent]

Denise Rich's songwriting fame didn't buy that piece of real estate but husband Marc Rich's prowess as a commodities trader sure did.

[@kristaselene]

I'd rather have 20 mansions all over the world than an apartment in NYC.

[@a916LEX]

Nah there is nothing in this world that comes close to NYC.

[@sangeyasha5435]

I second alexis, hence the price of properties is tremendously high

[@cornonthecobby]

Alexis M then you obviously have never been to tokyo.

[@matthewstampp]

T just Stop, NYC is the capital of the world. it is the new Rome

[@matteomatteo6613]

Matthew Stampp are u an idiot with no passport?

[@drviktorianord]

I am not impressed...

[@sirtrollalot7762]

+wikky3000 I am impressed by you, God damn you are gorgeous.

[@luke8003]

+Sir Trollalot Smooth

[@muzarco918]

+Sir Trollalot smooth

[@BULLOCK1973]

i would say its worth 6 million tops. Its location. Even if i was a billionaire i would never pay that price.

[@ときスピカウンセラー玲子]

BULLOCK い

[@Starfishxoxo]

Her voice is soothing and quiet

[@tudorjason]

I loved the excuse given as to why Rich is selling the home. Rich actually renounced her US citizenship in 2011 and didn't want to pay taxes on whatever. I guess if people knew about that reason, they might think twice about buying from a woman who is rich enough to afford to be greedy and stingy. Though perhaps prospective buyers won't care, so why lie about it.

[@THEdowntowndoll]

This whole place would need to be completely renovated. Can we say totally 1980s mixed with colonial times and Victorian times. Bleck!

[@jimkoral3824]

Posted by Lidia I absolutely love it, light, airy, elegant and an all-over happy place to live in, love the art and the amazing view.

[@Frabjous1]

Shouldn't Forbes be professional enough not to ruin its videos with GarageBand tracks?

[@alexias8783]

RIGHT XD !

[@desslye4391]

+Frabjous And they should invest in good cinematographers because the quality of these videos are hideous

[@kerryoke68]

It is god awful. sounds like I'm listening to a Pink Panther sketch

[@claudlt]

best comment I've seen all day hahahaha cracking me up

[@juliohernandez5230]

That old tv in the living room ,i mean vintage ,lol

[@toddydarkko]

This penthouse is the Daniel K Ludwig penthouse he was the original owner. actually he and the fishers had this building built as a joint venture. if this walls could only talk the stories they would tell.

[@johnangelbautistaguitar]

This Penthouse, is for an Old boring Person.

[@gospmusluver]

It actually exudes class. The furnishings are somewhat dated

[@johnangelbautistaguitar]

Boring..!

[@gospmusluver]

Doesn't matter, we can't afford it😀😀

[@Bure478]

+John angel Bautista yeah thats usualy the people that are rich

[@johnangelbautistaguitar]

Lol

[@tamcocar]

And the screen coming down over the candles is even more tacky. Some people just have too much money & don't know what the hell to do with it.

[@e4hxr1a91]

She’s my grandma...

[@1fnfigi]

I got like 2 dollars and stale Cheetos in my savings and even I’m gonna pass.

[@Yourhighnessnona]

The price is 85% location (and space & view) for anybody who's like: "How!?"

[@cateringservicesnyc2783]

This channel is very amazing, truly fun to view.

[@niceblondegirl8776]

0:31 ARE YOU KIDDING ME ?? THAT , is the master bedroom ? It looks the size of my nephew's Efficiency Apartment. And they want how much for this place ? Oh i'm sure it's nice, but did they literally just show a 300 sq. foot ''Master Bedroom'' with that asking price ? Do you have to move things out of the way to get to the bathroom ? Real Estate agents make me sick with their fluff and ass kissing , trying so hard to over sell places.

[@itlsofficial]

+Nice Blonde Girl it's not the size, it's the location... even a dump 150sq ft apartment in NYC would run you $1500/mo in rent.

[@wtspotatoes]

+Nice Blonde Girl not a very 'nice' blonde are you?

[@puppetken]

+Nice Blonde Girl lol

[@man7889]

Am I the only one that gets pissed when i see a grand piano in these multi-million dollar houses just there for decoration? Like damn, i play piano and i could barely afford a decent digital piano haha

[@thehilaryglow]

+man7889 Same here. Although I love my Herman piano and I wouldn't trade it for any Yamaha garbage that is out there. This German piano has soul to it, I play classical music and open its cover and it sounds beautiful as if played on a grand piano in a concert for a crowd of 10000 people.

[@kkknotcool]

Go to estate auctions. I've seen grands go for hundreds of dollars at some of those. Not good looking ones but well cared for one's.

[@robert3302]

They hire someone to play for parties.

[@oooitsang]

what a coincidence her last name is rich lmfao

[@stephenmiller3965]

+mizzymolly wow thanks for the info👌🏿

[@MaoriAussie]

Surname Rich changed from Reich. Dodgey fucks

[@libertopian]

Reich. Surname used by Jews in Belgium.

[@e4hxr1a91]

@G E T R E K T 905 he’s my grandpa and he had a reason

[@Enzo1980]

$65M? Location, location, location.

[@vanessaliu648]

you guys the reason why it's so expensive is because of the LOCATION. it's so rare to have such a good size property in nyc especially right beside central park. don't think that just because the house itself isn't spectacular that it's not worth the money. think about it, for one million you could get a decent mansion in texas whereas in nyc you could probably get a small apartment with no view.

[@vangrails]

Oh, I didn't know that location is important too.

[@888TopGear888]

$65 million.... in New York, and instead of a Steinway and Sons there's a Yamaha grand piano?? A fucking Yamaha??

[@1claud9]

this video was terrible. the videographer spent more time showing me the agent than the interior!

[@thehilaryglow]

+1claud9 Well she looks good for her age...

[@1claud9]

hahaha true!

[@vidividbombom]

that is some antiquated decor.

[@BarbaraDelorisWalker]

Thank you for showing this. 🌠

[@megaswenson]

LOVE what they did with the hand-painted cove mould in the bathroom!!!! I wonder if the chandelier in the dining room was a substitution for something finer that would be leaving with the Owner (things get sticky, when the Buyer wants you to throw in a priceless rock crystal antique,, as part of the purchase price - so it's best to have those go to storage, before you list your home) or if this has been there for a while. Nothing wrong with it. We've owned more vertical variants of it. And it seems to be hung with better crystal than usual. But still, those are under 20k.

[@MrCaptainWTF]

There doesn't seem to be many books in the library, more like two shelves with one row filled.

[@jacobfreemans8613]

I live in a fully furnished dustbin just like Topcat and i would choose it any day over that awful place. rock on

[@protobender]

My GOD... her voice .. "and HANDcrafted, of course"

[@MargheritaAquarium]

OMG that's HORRENDOUS !!! library WHERE???!!!

[@pycckuu911]

Haha i can feel the tension between two. Where the little blonde is all jealous and the other one just rubbing into her face, ahah this is just too hilarious.

[@arthurwatts1680]

Horses for courses, but Branson's island tops them all for mine. I'm sure some people would get a bigger kick out of being able to tell people they owned 'the largest apartment on 5th Avenue', but that island has something you could never buy in NYC : total seclusion from the rest of humanity. The fire would have been devastating for Sir Richard, but I'm guessing he was able to put the pieces back together and carry on.

[@peterwauyo444]

@1:30 she actually says 'hand painted..' there is a lot to this property that is worth bragging about but I don't think having a hand painted bathroom counts, my room is also hand painted.

[@youtubedotcomtamyah3357]

I love it so much!!!

[@DoNultima]

Bob Wildeachit I know, right! What's with all the multi-billionaires that don't bother buying fancy A/V equipment? My dream is to become a hedge fund billionaire and one day get a penthouse apartment with a view of Central Park from Fifth Avenue, and/or Kensington Palace Gardens, Monte Carlo mansions and so on, but I wouldn't stick a 2005 TV / small projector screen with NO speakers. I'd have a 300" Sony 8K projection system with 100,000 watt hemispherical Snell THX Reference surround :)

[@KyrstOak]

You'd think Forbes would have higher quality microphones. Or perhaps it's the rooms themselves that don't help the quality.

[@Msciwoj-j4x]

Considering the vast size of this apartment and its location, I'd say $65 million is VERY fair. I'm just thinking how much the monthly property taxes and maintenance fees are..

[@annonymously331]

Yes finally

[@14jrlion]

ahahah oh man!! this killed me I was on the floor laughing with this one. "penokio feeling"

[@nevgiraffe9196]

All these 'libraries' on the upper east side don't seem to hold many books?

[@Karyabs]

Annoying 30 second ads. Soon, we'll have ads longer than the videos.

[@zico739]

I've seen smaller NYs penthouses with better use of space. 12k sq ft is enormous, use it better.

[@Kayla-lz6ry]

They obviously didn't show the entire place

[@zico739]

TheLusianPopa That sounds like a better number. But, isn't exterior space sq footage usually counted separately?

[@zico739]

TheLusianPopa I see lol, thanks for enlightening me.

[@DizzyKizzy64]

Honestly I'm not just saying this because I'm poor but I couldn't imagine having so much wealth and feeling ok about it when people are starving in the world

[@annonymously331]

Oh god not this

[@mirandamartinez1605]

The decor is horrible! 😷 How can someone with so much money choose such ghastly furniture! They should've at least hired a decorator to pick out some nice fresh colors that match! And the bedroom! OMG what a horrible bed! 😭

[@vitaminrumrum]

This is the kind of wealth that breaks my heart. To own a $65million home not twenty minutes away from the projects where some people are deciding whether they pay for medicine or food shows such a lack of compassion.

[@annonymously331]

Oh god not this again

[@adad-ec6ht]

Wow, ultimate American dream. New York City, 5th Avenue, Central 65 Million dollar.. DAMN!!! I wannabe the Wolf of Wall Street.

[@Hhhhhhh-wi1qe]

I just love nice interiors when it comes to homes, I’ll decorate my home after marriage, I want rose quartz bed

[@roger8654]

Nyc jazz music goes perfect

[@GorgeousGabbe]

That closet!!!!!! I die!!!!!

[@daisyt1445]

if you think that closet is something to admire please go check out Mariah Carey's MTV cribs video. now her closet was custom made for a queen. literal perfection

[@blonderepub9303]

Too much gold. Love the view.

[@MiMuKLifestyle_channel]

Beautiful 🔥

[@operabilia]

"She wants to downsize a little" ... That must be the understatement of the century!

[@TheLAboy777]

does not look luxurious

[@daisyt1445]

it's totally like outdated. this is something someone born in the 1930s-40s can actually enjoy. no one born in the 1970s can live here without tearing everything down and remodeling it to give it a modern look

[@daisyt1445]

***** a hmm different taste. if you're going to spend $20 million on a house I think the bathtub should be the size of a hot tub jacuzzi style and the shower should have like five heads blasting water because that to me is luxury. a nice kitchen wide enough to have five different dishes of food cooking white and grey marbling. I mean to me that's a modern style more fit for the modern women but we can agree to disagree.

[@nehabje]

***** This to me looks awesome. (Male speaking btw) I don't really care for most modern architecture, unless we are talking about modern skyscrapers that are meant as office buildings. I just really like the color pallette used ,for example, in this home. Aside from that, I just have thing for old furniture, or at least, old looking furniture.

[@jasminewilliams7146]

yea it looks a little tacky to me just because their idea of luxury isn't the same to me..I appreciate modern luxury a little bit more..but the woman screaming at the screen that came out the ceiling needs to get out more :/ good grief

[@AhteshamAsyya8227]

blessssssed lady..maaarvelous beauuuuuuutiful and relaxing place..i want to see this house also..i wish...

[@joemchang]

The feeling of the space is very powdery

[@CallieMasters5000]

Her kids loved the place so much, they moved out.

[@e4hxr1a91]

She’s my grandma...

[@scoobie8amg]

Hold up! Her occupation is a song writer and her best accolades were being NOMINATED for only 3 Grammys?!

[@pennyyew87]

May I ask what is the background music?

[@blairlewis1375]

“Hand painted”? How else would you paint the bathroom?

[@adacom1000]

Wow, that closet is like its own apartment.

[@halloeisbar7130]

The closet is like my grandma's closet.. Huge af

[@OhMaDayzz]

It's nice, but not $65 million nice.

[@zico739]

Yep.

[@srorrim]

omg i love the old styled furniture fuck modern shit yo

[@Atothenal]

I was waiting for Denise Richards so pop up

Utterly splendid home, but no way justifiable to price at that tariff. 3-4 million tops.

[@kingmajesty4534]

how is it her fav room when she dont even live there lmao

[@itillbeme]

Looks like the apartment from 1973. I will give you $7,000. The real estate agent was uninspired.

[@lizaambriz4768]

Beautiful❤

[@frockoff1]

The only reason you would need a place like this is to impress "friends" The original owner prob only paid 1/10 of the asking price tops.

[@strandgirl1000]

Der Ausblick von dem Penthouse ist wirklich sehr schön. Die Einrichtung ist aber echt mal altbacken (kenne da viel geschmacklosere Einrichtungen bei reichen Leuten als hier)! dafür ist das Penthouse wunderbar lichtdurchflutet. Mein Vorgänger hier schreibt, das es das nicht wert ist! 65 Millionen Dollar. Seh ich das anders. Wenn jemand dafür bereit ist so viel Geld zu bezahlen - ist es das wert! Bei einer Immobilie entscheidet nur eins - die Lage - Lage Lage! und die ist phantastisch. Wäre ich so reich hätte ich größere Schlafzimmer und auch größere Bäder/Sauna. Die sind immer so piensig, da sind meine ja größer.

[@rudd-dq6ns]

Oh I wish :/ it's so beautiful x

[@misled1982]

2:25 they can't afford a flat screen TV? I had that TV in 1998...

[@SCT11]

It's probable still being listed...

[@LegendNeverD1es]

It's only worth that price because it is located in New York, near central park. Of course it would be pricey. I'm not surprised.

[@shaneg3490]

You can list any house at any price. What did it sell for is my question.

[@annonymously331]

[@OncleJer]

It's decorated like a 78 years old grumpy woman lived there.

[@entrepreneurialendeavors2613]

terrible photography. why is the camera focused on the interviewer and not the home??? ridiculous! can't see anything she's talking about.

[@janniefroehlich2011]

and there are still People in this world who don't even have water....

[@JeffersonMartinSynfluent]

Hand-crafted, of course!

[@danielda4471]

Well... the largest? the late Huguette Clark had a 15000 feets one, overlooking central park as well so...

[@kimberlyklaus7296]

Because everyone needs a movie theatre screen in their bedroom. (eye roll) You could buy eight homes in Paradise Valley, AZ, for what this woman paid for an penthouse in ten shades of beige.

[@LakeNormanMike]

I think they did a great job of getting hype for this.

[@peteryeung111]

I'll be pretty lonely living there...no matter the size of family.

[@acastanaz]

I got my house handpainted to.... also by my self!

[@Ccooll696Roblox]

And over here you have a wall, got some lights in the ceiling, clothes here in the closet. I'm getting paid $200K a year to tell you this.

[@ramik.4024]

Ok nice house, but definitely doesn't deserve 65 million dollars, wtf totally not worth it

[@Kayla-lz6ry]

Location also plays a big part in pricing

[@vandanapathak8534]

i didnot liked the closet at all,,

[@everettfanor1989]

Rami K. 17 bedrooms. plus theres other hidden things she didnt explain like the pool, helicopter pad, movie theatre, market inside the building, maids, personal drivers, gold toilets etc

[@MichaelMurd]

Rami K. The looks really don't mean anything, people will pay more for a jail cell in a prestigious location than they would a mansion in shitty suburbia...

[@daisyt1445]

the guy who bought it has donated at least $200 million to UCLA and he never even went there. graduated high school with a 66 average. dropped out of three colleges. HOWEVER was the cofounder along with Steven Spielberg of Dreamworks as well as the talent agent who picked up and signed artists such as Cher, Elton Jon, Nirvana, Guns and Roses Blink 182 just to name a few of my favorites. so whos winning in life? David Geffen

[@extra_ice_girl]

That's the master bedroom? My bedroom is bigger in my apartment. She's getting hosed paying 65M for that.

[@elitistjerk1]

whats the name of the music?

[@JasonCWaite]

How much cashflow via rents does it generate?

[@ezeanochieezeanochie2039]

Now we see why the rich should pay more.

[@rish2891993]

65 million dollars for the place but still a fucking CRT in the library.

Tell her her place could have been built with hand made bricks in the desert of Korramshar at 15 times less the cost! Hand polished wooded furniture included! Lights too! Real electric ones!!

[@StrawberryCream78]

But you havent a swimmingpool if you live in a pent house

[@RALIF.ISMAIL]

..and so that lady said at the end of the video... "..she spends most of her time away.. she doesn't need a big big place.." that's so redundant to get a house that big!!!!!

[@rachelattack]

Going to take another 10m to redecorate that mausoleum
