Penthouse at the Pierre: Still Available

Next week marks the four-year anniversary since financier Martin Zweig put his 16-room penthouse triplex at The Pierre on the market for $70 million. It lost its status as New York's most expensive apartment a few months ago—a unit at 15 Central Park West now has an asking price of $80 million—and given the economy, Zweig probably won't be parting ways with the apartment anytime soon. (It doesn't help that the monthly maintenance is $39,000 and it happens to be a co-op, and the type of person who might be interested in it—like a Russian billionaire—isn't the sort of person who is willing to hand over his financial records to a co-op board.) After the jump, photos of the apartment with 360-degree views, five master bedrooms, four terraces, and enormous living room—a reminder of how the rich lived before the economy crumbled to pieces.
