Koch, number 33 on Forbes Magazine's list of the world's billionaires, is selling up to accommodate his
growing family and putting his 1040 Fifth
Avenue apartment on the market. The apartment occupies the entire 15th floor of the building and was once owned by
Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. Koch purchased it in 1995 for $9.5-million and spent and estimated $5-10 million on
renovations. He and his wife felt they needed a larger space to raise what will be their third child, though the
apartment at 1040 Fifth has four bedrooms, two dressing rooms, a staff room, a library, living room, dining room,
conservatory, two terraces, three fireplaces, five and a half bathrooms and a wine room. The family is moving to 740
Park, which Koch says is a duplex twice the size of the Onassis apartment. The asking price is $32
million.
