LOOK INSIDE A JENGA PENTHOUSE THAT GOES FOR $123,000 A MONTH | Secret Lives Of The Super Rich

Take a super-fast elevator ride up 56 floors to penthouse 56 at 56 Leonard in downtown New York City. The jenga-shaped luxury high-rise towers over the Big Apple’s skyline with epic views in every direction. It’s a very luxurious combination of ear-popping & eye-popping real estate. The $123,000 a month price tag makes this one of New York City’s most expensive rentals. CNBC’s Erica Wright and Ray Parisi head up to meet Douglas Elliman real estate broker Timothy Mezler who explains this mega-apartment-in-the-sky looks down on the homes of Justin Timberlake, Rihanna, Beyoncé, and Mariah Carey- not really super surprising since the 56th floor home pretty much looks down on the entire city.

If this woman tried to step foot in the apartment I represent when instructed by the owners to take shoes off, I would NEVER let her in. I know a lot of people who never wear shoes in their apartments. They are religious about it. NYC streets are extremely dirty. Shoes off at the door. Absolutely pathetic.

Amazing apartment, hideous decor!!!! Perhaps this is the main reason the rental price was reduced so much...maybe get Interior Marketing Group to stage instead and see what happens... Oh and CNBC, you might want to take notes about all the negative comments about your female host. It does say a lot about a person's character who does not respect a home owner's request like removal of shoes and such. Very bad reflection of herself and those she represents at her employment. At the very least from a viewer"s perspective it distracts from what should be the intention of the video which is the apartment itself, not a rude poster girl of self entitlement.

[@erincote3702]

Ok, I think these are cool digs. What I don't understand is how he says the price of the rent is a good deal because it includes the art. Over several rental payments you will have paid for the art. So you keep paying for the art in the price of the rent as long as you live there? Also, he said if you don't want the art they will remove it. Do you still pay the same price if they do?
