So nice to see that Fox News founder Rupert Murdoch has found a place to rest his head.
Since Wendi got the triplex on Fifth Avenue as part of the divorce, Rupert has not exactly been facing homelessness, but still. . . He has landed a rather special spot: the top four floors (take that, Wendi!) at One Madison. (For those planning to drop by, the entrance will be on E 22nd, between Bway and Park.) That’s a lot of stairs for a guy his age, but apparently it’s worth it to be able to say you’ve got a quadriplex.
According to the Times, he paid more than $57 million for the new condo. Ah, to think of the money to be made in mass media!
