Donald Trump Will Rent You a Park Avenue Penthouse - for $200,000 per Month

donald_trump_narrowweb__300x399,0.jpgFile this under if you have to ask, you can’t afford it. Donald Trump is apparently asking an exorbitant rent for a  Park Avenue luxury penthouse. Try $200,000 per month. Yes, per month, not year. Ouch.

The New York Post reports that the duplex condo has 10 rooms including 3 bedrooms and 6 1/2 baths. Does anyone with a 3 bedroom place really need 6 1/2 baths? Maybe if you throw huge parties. The condo in Trump Park Avenue also boasts high ceilings, a grand staircase, large terraces, and panoramic views of Manhattan. Nice. If you don’t want to rent it, you can always buy it for $45 million.

The broker claims, of course, that it’s the most impressive residence on Park Avenue - which is teeming with posh addresses. With 6200 square feet, a library, a den, chandeliers, a 45-foot-long living room, andre044c.jpg more than 50 windows, maybe it is the most impressive. But if it doesn’t sell for $45 million, will Trump tell his broker "You’re fired"? That would make him a parody of himself. Not that he isn’t one already.

  By the way, the building provides full hotel services, valet parking, and a full health club. Ah, New York living at its finest. Nice work if you can get it, no? Who knows, maybe Rosie O’Donnell will make up with "The Donald" and buy this lovely place from him. Okay, so maybe that’s going a little too far. Eventually someone will come along, pay that $200K per month and say it’s a steal.

And the rest of us will look at them like they’re crazy. Except other New Yorkers. They’ll probably be thinking "Anymore, that’s a fair deal for New York luxury real estate."
