Museum of Modern Art

12 East 82nd Street
$52,000,000

This 12,000 square foot mansion was previously listed for a mere $15 million back in 2012, so if that's not enough to make you believe that real estate numbers are completely made up, I don't know what would.

Is there anything proprietarily remarkable about this textbook contemporary modern home? Well, if you stick your head out a front window and turn to the left you're staring at The Met. But really, other than that, no.

We see this as a perfect trophy home for a hedge funder and his family (who he sees sometimes). Oh, and we can't forget the fun, dizzying amenity that is those rhythmic gymnastic white ribbon swirl stairs - like living in the Guggenheim!

And don't you dare think we didn't spot that stuffed animal chair in the corner of one of the four bedrooms. Rich people really are all the same.
