An octagon in the clouds: a peek inside New York’s $100 million flat

It is currently owned by Steven Klar, a property developer, who bought it in
1993 for $4.5 million, before spending the same sum again on furnishing it
with chandeliers, columns and antique furniture, according to the New York
Times. Among the decorations is his collection of Napoleonic-era art and
hundreds of lead soldiers that he fondly collects.

“Art is what people are willing to pay for, and an apartment like this is
like a piece of art,” Mr Klar told the paper.

But like all New York real estate the property is not without its downsides.
The slats on the building’s dome whistled ferociously as air passed through
them, forcing designers to come up with a new design that caused less noise.

Clouds can also get in the way, spoiling the view from the 76th floor. When
Pope John Paul held an event in Central Park in 1995, fog kept Mr Klar and
his wife from being able to see.
