According to Curbed, a New York property blog, Matt Damon has splashed out $20m on a luxurious New York apartment. The Bourne series star is rumoured to have bought a penthouse apartment in an Upper West Side neighbourhood in Manhattan. The building’s representatives refused to comment on the rumours, but lets hope this purchase is less traumatic than the last one which apparently cost him “everything he owned,” when his home flooded back in 2006.
We understand that he and his wife have been looking for some time and had already rejected The Majestic as “too small,” although with 50 staff including a live in super and sensational view, the word “picky,” comes to mind and apparently the final choice was 535 West End Avenue, a 21st century pre-war co-op.
I gather the penthouse was already spoken for so – if true – this must be one of the lesser penthouses. If that makes any sense……
