Plaza Sets A New York Record

When I first started hearing about the plans to turn the Plaza Hotel into condos, the predictions that records would be set began to be bandied about. Now it looks that it has come to pass. The New York Observer is reporting that an apartment at the recently redone Plaza Hotel has gone to contract for at least $50 million, making it the biggest apartment sale in New York City. The Plaza will also be home to real estate kingpin Harry Macklowe, Bear Stearns C.E.O. James Cayne, race-car mogul Flavio Briatore, Tommy Hilfiger and Jocelyn Wildenstein. The big question is who is the buyer.

The real fools are those who think the pissant buying the 50M condo worked hard. My father worked hard for 45 years. With little hard work I've made more in one day several times than he did in his whole life. Modern America rewards greed, not hardwork.

To Robert in #18 and #19, maybe if your Father had an EDUCATION he would have made more money. You can only go so far with a third grade ed-yoo-cay-shun, bud. Glenn

TO ROBERT HILLSTROM who posted his same comment twice, DER! (18 + 19) I find it very hard to believe you've earned in a single day what your father has earned in 45 years. And if by some miracle that was TRUE, why don't you help your father out financially? You're probably fulla schitt. -- Elaine

You all sound so mean spirited, the rich,the poor, the greedy, the needy, the plaza dwellers and the trailer park dwellers. I guess it gives new meanng to people are all just alike. I really hope not. Sad.
