Where does Mike Bloomberg live and how big is his house?

As the former mayor of New York City, it only makes sense Michael Bloomberg would live in Manhattan. The billionaire bought a ritzy 7,500 sq. ft townhouse in 1986 for $3.5 million in the city’s desirable Upper East Side neighborhood. Since then, Bloomberg has expanded the originally five-story home buy purchasing apartments in the co-op next door, “knocking down walls and combining two entire floors along the way,” The New York Times reported. The result? A massive space typically unseen in dense NYC. “You’re talking about a really extraordinary space,” Jacky Teplitzky, a “prominent Upper East Side broker,” told the NYT. “It’s really a mansion, not a townhouse anymore.”

In 2016, Bloomberg shelled out $14 million to purchase a triplex in the co-op, leaving him with one apartment left to acquire to make his mega-mansion dreams come true. But unfortunately for the mogul, he’ll have to wait a long time before this happens because its occupants told the NYT that they’d “never leave” the top floor apartment. Tough break, huh? We guess the dad-of-two will have to deal with his nearly completed mansion for the time being…
