Rent the Ultra-Opulent Plaza Pad of Kazakhstan President’s Nephew for $55K a Month

October 6, 2014

Daniyar Nazarbayev, the ultra-rich nephew of Kazakhstan President Nursultan Nazarbayev, is now leasing his equally ultra-luxurious four-bedroom at The Plaza Hotel for $55,000 a month, reports the NYDN. The beautiful 4,200 square foot home is certainly of a presidential caliber and comes dripping with the ornate features and finishes that have become so synonymous with the storied Plaza. With sunny Central Park views from every room and expansive north and west exposures, this home also hosts ceilings highlighted with mosaic stained glass and crystal chandeliers, artistically detailed moldings, a formal dining room, marble entry foyer, and much more—including a helluva lot of international drama to boot.

According to NYDN, young Daniyar Nazarbayev is currently accused of owning millions of dollars in maintenance fees and over $100,000 in common charges and assessments, which has led the Plaza’s co-op board to file a lawsuit against him. Though Daniyar is listed as the owner of the property, the title may be up in the air as his former stepfather, the president’s brother Bolat Nazarbayev, is accusing his his ex-wife Maira Nazarbayeva (Daniyar’s mother), of tricking him into signing legal documents that gave Daniyar ownership. The apartment was purchased by Daniyar’s stepfather and mother in 2008 for $20.2M, and the home has previously been listed for $28 million.

If you can manage to get past all of the family’s legal issues, this grand apartment also comes with all the amenities offered by the Plaza Hotel, including a 24-hour concierge, valet parking, dry cleaning and turn-down. You’ll of course also get to enjoy the Plaza’s prime location in the heart of Midtown just steps away from Central Park, as well as a stunning landscaped courtyard with reflecting pool and fountains. The apartment is available both furnished or unfurnished.

Tommy Hilfiger again drops price of his Plaza Hotel penthouse to $50M

By Annie Doge

After making several attempts to sell his pad, fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger is relisting his lavish penthouse apartment in the Plaza for $50 million. Hilfiger and his wife, Dee Ocleepo, first listed the apartment at 1 Central Park South in 2013 for $80 million. After dropping to $75 million in March 2015 and then $69 million, the most recent relisting had the property on the market for $58.9 million in April (h/t Mansion Global). The couple paid roughly $20 million in renovations for the 5,600-square-foot duplex, which features marble-clad rooms, vintage limestone fireplaces from England and a domed room that features a custom-designed “Elouise” mural designed by the children book’s illustrator Hilary Knight.

Tommy Hilfiger chops more than $20M off lavish Plaza penthouse

By Annie Doge

All-American fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger bought three separate condos in the Plaza in 2008 for a combined $25 million. He and his wife Dee Ocleppo then embarked on a very internationally influenced, $20 million renovation that combined the units into one opulent, 5,600-square-foot duplex, complete with marble-clad rooms, vintage limestone fireplaces from England, and a domed room inside one of the building's iconic turrets that features a custom-designed "Eloise" mural by the books' illustrator Hilary Knight. The couple listed the apartment in 2013 for $80 million, but despite its lavish interiors, it's been on and off the market since then, its price dropping to $75 million in March 2015 and to $69 million a few months ago. The Wall Street Journal now reports that it's reappeared with even sharper discount, dropping 26 percent to $58.9 million.
