PhotoPhriday: Unreal Estate


Imagine paying $13,000 for one square foot of property. Now imagine being so wealthy that you don’t even care. 

Someone has just plunked down a cool $90 million to buy a Manhattan apartment that hasn’t been built yet. Granted, it’s going to be a duplex on the 89th and 90th floors, and it’ll be close to 11,000 square feet, but it’s on the West Side, in midtown for crying out loud.

Still, it got me thinking of how nice life must be if one can spend $90 mil on an apartment. And how sweet it would be to live there, with arguably one of the best views in the world.

So with that as inspiration, let’s go shopping. Go buy yourself a house or two. Or an apartment. The sky’s the limit.

If you could afford anything, anywhere, give us an idea of what it would be. Southeby’s has a few things you might like.

Whatever you get, just make sure it has a wing with a private entrance for me.

How to Post Pics:
1) If you want to use a pic from your computer, you’ve got to first upload it to the web. Click on either of these links: imgur or tinypic. Follow the directions to upload.
2) After the upload, you’ll see various links for your pic. Copy the direct link; you want the one that ends in .jpg
3) Come back here. Type this exact code (including the brackets and quotation marks) into the “Post A New Comment” box: <img src=“ ” /> and paste your direct link in between the quote marks. There should be a space between img and src (img src), but otherwise, no spaces between anything.
4) It should look like this: <img src=”http//www.yourphotodirectlink.jpg” /> Make sure to include those brackets.
5) If you’re using a photo already on the web: Right click (or ctrl-click on a Mac) on an image and select “View Image” or “Copy Image URL/Location.” Copy-and-paste the URL and use the <img src=“ ”> code above.
