The Russian billionaire who bought former Citigroup Chairman Sandy Weill’s penthouse apartment in 2011 for a record price is now reselling it, The Post has learned.
Dmitry Rybolovlev paid $88 million — making the most expensive residential purchase ever in the city at the time — for the 10-bedroom penthouse at 15 Central Park West for his college-age daughter. The Russian oligarch has just put the property up for sale, a source close to the situation told The Post.
In May, Rybolovlev won an appeal of a $4.5 billion divorce settlement with his wife, Elena, and they reportedly agreed at the time not to sell the pad.
AÂ Rybolovlev family spokesperson told On The Money that Dmitry’s daughter, Ekaterina Rybolovleva, who was 21 at the time, Â had purchased the posh digs.
The sale might be difficult at a high asking price in what has been a quickly declining New York City residential real estate market, a source says.
Two recent purchases at One57 have since unseated the penthouse as NYC’s priciest residence.
Rybolovlev could not be reached by press time.
