A 22-year-old Russian heiress has reportedly bought financier Sanford Weill’s Manhattan penthouse for the full asking price of $88,000,000!! This makes it the most expensive residential real estate deal in New York City history. The lavish 6,744 square foot apartment, located at 15 Central Park West, was purchased by Sanford and his wife for around $43.7 million back in 2007. They then put it on the market less than 2 months ago. The Russian heiress, Ekaterina Rybolovlev, is the daughter of billionaire Dmitry Rybolovlev; who is worth an estimated $9.5 billion. Ekaterina will stay in the apartment while she studies at a university.

What’s with these really young heiresses buying outlandishly expensive properties?! If you weren’t already aware, 22-year-old Petra Eccelstone, another billionaire heiress, purchased Candy Spelling’s California mega mansion for a whopping $85 million not too long ago.

Also, Ekaterina’s father Dimitry was the buyer of Donald Trump’s Maison L’Amitie estate in Palm Beach, FL. He bought it for a jaw-dropping $95 million back in 2008.

This AMAZING swimming pool is located in the backyard of a mega mansion located at 5225 Renner Road in Shawnee, KS. According to a Homes of the Rich reader, the pool goes down about 30-40 feet and there is a sunken ship at the bottom. There is also a grotto and 5 different hot tubs inside it and up top. How cool is that?! I LOVE swimming and I could definitely see myself having a little adventure in that monstrosity of a home “swimming pool” (more like a mini lake!).
