- Rupert Murdoch finally sold his three-floor New York City apartment for $23.8 million.

After a yearslong search, Rupert Murdoch, the 93-year-old billionaire media mogul, appears to have finally found a buyer for his nearly 7,000-square-foot penthouse in New York City, close to the Flatiron building and Madison Square Park.
Back in the summer, Murdoch slashed the price to $28.5 million, about half its original listing price, in his latest bid to sell the property.
The nonagenarian finally parted ways with the penthouse for $23.8 million, according to the Robb Report.
Compass, the real estate agency carrying the listing, did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider.
The former chair of the Fox Corporation and News Corp., who married his fifth wife, Elena Zhukova, in June at his private vineyard in Bel-Air, California, briefly listed the three-floor apartment for $72 million in 2015. In 2022, Murdoch apparently listed it in earnest, asking for $62 million.
In the years since the listing price steadily dropped. After briefly being taken off the market in December 2023, the property was re-listed in April for $38.5 million, nearly half its original price tag. Two months later, it was slashed by a further $10 million.
The apartment may have very well been a thorn in Murdoch’s newlywed bliss — although not a huge thorn perhaps, given Murdoch is worth $12 billion per the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
