The former secretary of the treasury has sold his Park Avenue duplex for $22.5 million, The New York Times reports. The apartment, which had been in the Mnuchin family since the 1960s, is located at the legendary 740 Park Avenue, between 71st and 72nd Streets.
Known as “The World’s Richest Apartment Building,” as described by author Michael Gross in his 2005 book, notable residents of the exclusive co-op have included David Koch, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Ronald Perelman and Stephen A. Schwarzman, to name just a few.
Currently active listings at the building include a nine-room penthouse duplex asking $29,950,000, and a fourteen-room second and third floor duplex asking $17,250,000.
