She and her husband purchased the property three years ago for $6.75 million. And while people might associate her persona with biting commentary, the plush apartment is actually done with warm lighting and comforting, inviting colors.

At 3,000 square feet, the apartment features everything you could ever need including three bedrooms, a kitchen, two bathrooms, a jacuzzi, and plenty of storage space.

“You get a sense that there’s a whole world going on right above us,” MacLean said. “When you’re down on the street, you have no idea.”

MacLean took the pictures from a helicopter without the knowledge of owners; his book contains no details about the spaces.

The $88 Million 'Student Pad’ And The Record Russian Oligarch Divorce -- The Telegraph

New York’s most expensive apartment, a palatial $88 million penthouse said to have been bought for an oligarch’s daughter as a college getaway, is now at the centre of the world’s costliest divorce battle.

The palatial apartment atop one of Manhattan’s most prestigious buildings was bought for Ekaterina Rybolovleva by a trust funded by her father, Dimtry, a billionaire Russian oligarch who made his fortune from fertiliser.
