Tommy Hilfiger's $75M Manhattan Penthouse

Tommy Hilfiger took three years to renovate his two-story, 6,000-square-foot penthouse at New York's famed Plaza Hotel. It is taking him about as long to sell it. The American fashion tycoon has dropped the price of the four bedroom duplex to $75M

Hilfiger listed the penthouse in 2013 for $80 million just before he married his second wife, Dee Ocleppo. Before another round of renovations, Hilfiger once had it on the market for $50 million, according to Curbed. Hilfiger purchased the classic unit and a neighboring unit for $25 million in 2008 when it was marketed as a "fixer-upper," reported AOL Real Estate.



Hilfiger says he likes that this residence is in an iconic building on Fifth Avenue, overlooking Central Park. "I always wanted to acquire trophy real estate because location, location, location is very important. As an investment you can't do better than that," he says.
The condo, on the 18th and 19th floors, has views of Central Park and Fifth Avenue from a private terrace. The Plaza is a fully staffed 24-hour white-glove condominium with a separate entrance from the hotel, according to the listing. Residents are offered the full complement of hotel services, including maid, valet and Todd English room service.
"Only the most luxurious finishes and materials were used to restore this property to its original grandeur, complete with 21st Century conveniences, according to the listing. 
A round, domed room in a turret contains a custom mural paying homage to Eloise, a character from Kay Thompson's 1950s books about a girl who lives in the "room on the tippy-top floor" of the Plaza Hotel.

"If you surround yourself with things you love, it makes for a great home design," Hilfiger told CNN.

Celebrity's Most Enviable Bedrooms

If walls could talk, these 23 celebrity rooms would have stories. We've rounded up a few of our favorite bedrooms of actors, musicians, and fashionistas. Sure, they are located in some of the most covetable zip codes (with price tags to match), but it's the stellar design elements that make them A-list. See what it's really like to wake up like a celebrity.

Gisele Bündchen

Gisele Bündchen and Tom-Brady's sleek Manhattan Condo features panoramic views, a chef’s kitchen and herringbone-pattern oak floors. The couple paid $40 million for the 3,310 square foot home, but now that they’re renting it, you can sleep in their light-filled bedroom for a mere $40k a month.

Josh Flagg
Million dollar listing star nd Beverly Hills, CA, real estate superagent Josh Flagg isn't known for his subtlety. Naturally, his bedroom is filled with statement pieces like oversized art and an Hermès blanket.

Robert Pattinson

This Hacienda style home in the Hollywood hills was just scooped up by Robert Pattinson for a reported $2.176 million – 20% over asking price! The bedroom's direct access to the backyard and exposed beam ceiling make it easy to see why Rob splurged!

Iggy Azalea

This Tarzan, CA home was fancy enough for singer Iggy Azalea and her NBA star boyfriend Nick Young. The couple purchased the 6,630 square foot house for $3.45 from Selena Gomez. This bedroom, one of six, features dark hardwood floors, a recessed ceiling, and French doors that lead out to the expansive back yard.

Jason Bateman

The family-friendly updates Jason Bateman made to his WestHollywood home currently on the market for $2.2 million, have put him on track to earn over $1 million in revenue. The stylish midcentury abode features a large fireplace, a full koi pond, a cozy outdoor living space, and this beautiful outdoor-facing master bedroom.

Neil Patrick Harris
Neil Patrick Harris’s 8,000 square foot Harlem family home features a spacious bedroom with floor-to-ceiling windows. Here’s what it looked like when he moved into the $4 million dollar house earlier this year – the renovations husband David Burtka and he made have have yet to be seen.

Kendall Jenner
Completely remodeled, Kendall Jenner's LA Condo is complete with an open floor plan, designer finishes, and a custom kitchen. Her large bedroom overlooks the garden's lush greens.

Kourtney Kardashian
In Kourtney and Scott's bedroom, a custom pop-up TV cabinet looks like a piece of eye candy rather than an eyesore. Custom-built cabinets and end tables also serve a special purpose. One cabinet holds outfits that are already put together so that Kourtney can grab and go, while the other holds pieces from the Kardashian Collection.

Pamela Anderson
With contemporary details, a breezy layout, and minimalist decor, it's hard to believe that this Malibu Bedroom is actually owned by Pamela Anderson. With a retractable window opening up to the upper deck, the transition to the outdoors is seamless.

Whitney Port
Like sisal rugs, bamboo blinds have a warm honey tone and fibrous texture that makes them an especially great layering piece. To top off her California-girl aesthetic, Whitney piles on pillows and blankets in vibrant colors and patterns.

Kelly Wearstler
Designer Wearstler's Malibu retreat blends an art deco elegance with a cool, California essence. In line with her over-the-top design style, her master bedroom has a bold, playful feel. Black and white is anything but boring with graffiti art and textured surfaces.

Hilary Swank
Judging by the bedroom alone, it's clear that Hilary Swank's former house was fit for a Million Dollar Baby. Aside from ocean views, it featured a balcony and that gorgeous four-poster bed.

Kimberly Guilfoyle
Can we talk about Kimberly Guilfoyle's former apartment? Decorated in soft shades like creams and blues, the prewar pad was simply pretty. The bedroom featured custom built-ins, beamed ceilings, and ample closet space. The combination of lucite and crystal details with white bedding and furniture made the room feel airy and feminine.

Ozzy Osbourne $10M Home

For a 1970s rock star, Ozzy Osbourne has done quite well for himself. You may not hear from him as often as you do the rest of the Osbourne clan, but he’s still considered a major celebrity and has the cash to prove it. Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne have shared a number of houses, but this one may be the most luxurious.
The Hidden Valley, California home owned by the Black Sabbath lead singer is 10,600 square feet in size, and has a price tag of just over $10 million. It is not only one of the most expensive celebrity homes, but one that most of us will never be able to afford purchasing. It has six bedrooms, as well as 10 bathrooms, which also makes it a home which is much larger than the average family would ever consider, or ever need to buy, for their family.
Will Smith $20M House

Manny Pacquiao Drops $12.5 Million To Buy Diddy's Former Beverly Hills Mansion


If Manny Pacquiao gets his face smashed in by Floyd Mayweather in May, at least now he has a really nice home to recuperate in! Or, if Manny ends up smashing Floyd, now he has an awesome house to celebrate in!


Manny Pacquiao just dropped $12.5 millionto purchase Diddy's former Beverly Hills mansion. Manny didn't just buy the house itself, he also bought everything inside the 10,000 square foot mansion.

The house sold again in 2012 for $4.8 million, which was a steep discount from the $8 million they wanted in 2008, just months before the world economy collapsed.


The mansion has seven bedrooms, seven and a half bathrooms, and sits on a 30,000 square foot lot. It comes with a gourmet chef's kitchen, his and her bathroom spas and a $200,000 home theater that fits 20 guests. But forget photos and my description, check out this video tour of the house:
